Used 2023 Tesla Model X SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Tesla Model X is a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive battery electric SUV available in Model X and Model X Plaid trim levels. Tesla says the estimated driving range for the Model X is 332-351 miles while the Plaid travels 311-333 miles, depending on seating configuration and wheel size. Standard equipment highlights are listed below, but note that Tesla may add, delete or upgrade features via over-the-air software updates at any time during the model year.

Model X
Offers the longest driving range plus plenty of standard equipment, such as:

  • Dual-electric motors (Tesla quoted 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.8 seconds)
  • Air suspension
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Trailer hitch
  • Keyless entry and push-button start
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • Five-passenger seating configuration
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • 17-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Bluetooth connectivity for multiple devices
  • Navigation system
  • 22-speaker audio system
  • Wireless charging pad

The Model X also comes with Tesla's Autopilot collection of driver assist systems, which consists of:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Tesla and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with emergency automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

Model X Plaid
Equipped much the same as the standard Model X but adds mind-boggling performance with:

  • Three electric motors (up to 1,020 hp; 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds)
  • Torque vectoring (adjusts power to individual wheels to improve handling)
  • High-performance brakes
  • Six-passenger seating configuration

Only a few options are available for the Model X and Plaid, including:

  • Extra-cost paint and interior colors
  • 22-inch wheels
  • Seating for six or seven passengers (standard Model X only)
  • A new Enhanced Autopilot is offered and upgrades Autopilot with navigation-following and automatic lane changes, a semi-automated parking system and Smart Summon, which will drive the vehicle to your chosen location.
  • Full Self-Driving Capability (Tesla promises this feature will support fully automated driving, but so far the rollout of the Model Y's self-driving capability has been problematic and its future remains uncertain.)

Which Model X trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the standard Model X for most people. Sure, the Plaid is bonkers fast but it's considerably more expensive and has less range on a full charge. Plus, the standard Model X is already plenty quick for a family hauler.
