If Tesla’s launch version of their new Model X, the P90D, sounded way too expensive at $132,000 or $142,000 with the ‘Ludicrous Speed Package’, then the new base 70D variant might ease the pain in your pocket.
At $80,000 plus a $1,200 delivery charge, it won’t woo crossover buyers from Toyota and Nissan, but it’s a hefty $52,000 difference from the P90D, excluding a $7,500 Federal tax credit and other local incentives like California’s $2,500 rebate, which could drop the price to as low as $70,000.
An Autonews report said that the entry price is for the five-seat model, with a six-seat layout adding $3,000 to the bill, and the seven seat configuration, $4,000, while other options include a $1,000 cold weather package, a $2,500 adjustable air suspension, a $2,500 Autopilot autonomous driving system and a $2,500 premium audio system. If you tick all the options, the Model X 70D approaches the $100,000 mark.
The Model X 70D has a 70 kWh battery that offers a 220 mile / 354 km driving range, while allowing for a 0-60mph (96km/h) sprint in 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 140mph (225km/h).
