In crossover Tesla Model X there was a more affordable option

Tesla Motors has introduced a new modification of the all-electric crossover Model X, which received the designation 60D.




Price announced version of the electric vehicle starts at $ 74 000. That's $ 9,000 less than the base value option Model X 75D, which until today was the youngest of a family of electric crossover Tesla.

The characteristics of the Model X 60D means that the battery capacity of the vehicle unit provides 60 kWh against 75 kWh at the Model X 75D. This change resulted in a reduction of power reserve on one charge of up to 320 km against 380 km of the older brother. This dynamic performance and maximum speed remained the same: acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in about six seconds, and the ceiling rate is at around 210 km / h

.

However, it should be noted that in reality battery packs have Model X 60D and Model X 75D are identical. Reducing the capacitance is achieved at the expense of the constraints imposed by the onboard software. So after buying a crossover owners will be able to "unlock" an additional 15 kWh capacity, paying the company Tesla said the difference in the amount of $ 9000 if necessary.
