Tesla SUVs

As the alternative-fuel market gains dominance over the long-established gasoline market in the USA, more and more automakers have begun bolstering their latest ranges with additional EVs and hybridized vehicles. Every sports car, coupe, sedan, crossover, and Tesla SUV, on the other hand, has always rolled straight off the factory floor fully electric, upholding the brand’s unrelenting pursuit for the electrification of the automotive industry. Tesla SUV models bring more than just eco-friendly performance to the table, though, with exhilarating and genuinely fun driving characteristics mixed with a modern aesthetic, futuristic technologies, and competitive levels of practicality all part and parcel of the package.

Tesla SUV and Crossover Range

The Tesla SUV crossover selection consists of two models at present, both of which are available in regular and extended range versions, with a choice between rear or all-wheel-drive, as well as the option of a purposed performance version.

• Model Y: With its relatively accessible starting price, well-rounded showing, and good all-round value, the new Tesla Model Y SUV is rated as the best midsize luxury electric SUV in its class. It’s powered by a 449-horsepower powertrain that propels it from 0-60 mph in a quick 4.8 seconds, up to a top speed of 135 mph. In its Performance guise, 60 mph comes at 3.5 seconds and top speed is elevated to 155 mph. It boasts a modern and ultra-minimalist black and white interior and is presented as a 5-seater as standard. A 3rd row of seating will supposedly be offered as of 2021, upping capacity to seven.
• Model X: Two electric motors power this Tesla SUV, ceding 670 hp and 557 lb-ft of torque through a single-speed automatic transmission to an AWD setup. It bolts to 60 mph in around 3.8 seconds from off-the-line in Long Range guise, and in 2.5 seconds when specced in Plaid - a top-spec trim option with a 1,020-hp Tri-motor setup. The midsize EV can be equipped with a third row of seating, changing it from a five-seater to a 7-seater. With no engine under the hood, the cruiser provides a 6.6 cubic-foot frunk and, by virtue of its large dimensions, adds another 12.6 cu.ft. with the rear trunk.
