Tesla Model X Long Range

The Tesla Model X Long Range presents an unusual split in the 600-car catalogue: its 0-100 km/h rank sits at 267 of 600, yet its top speed rank is 414 of 600. That gap reveals a car designed around a particular balance of performance rather than chasing every headline metric. Its 3.8 second 0-100 km/h time places it ahead of 333 cars in the catalogue, while its 250 km/h top speed shows that outright maximum velocity is not the sole measure of its character.

The reason for that contrast is visible in its core specification. This is a 5-door SUV with an electric engine layout, AWD, 670 bhp and 1,050 Nm of torque. Those figures place it 117th for power among all 600 cars, putting it inside the top 20% of the catalogue. The Model X Long Range occupies a rare position where the numbers associated with acceleration and electric delivery carry more weight than a pursuit of the highest possible top speed.

That identity becomes even clearer when viewed against the shape of the wider collection. Electric power remains an uncommon choice here, with only 10 of 600 cars using an electric engine layout, and only 10 pairing electric power with AWD. The Model X Long Range is part of that small group while also coming from the USA, a country represented by 31 cars in the catalogue. Tesla itself has three cars in the collection, giving this model a distinct place within the marque’s presence.

At a used price of £65,000, the Model X Long Range ranks 385th for price, meaning 215 catalogue cars are more expensive. Its cost per bhp is £97, adding another perspective to the relationship between performance and value. The 2022 Tesla Model X Long Range is not defined by a single number, but by the way its numbers connect.

A garage containing this car gains a different kind of performance reference point. Without it, the collection misses one of the few electric AWD SUVs represented among the 600 cars, as well as a vehicle that challenges the assumption that performance must be measured by top speed alone. With it, the garage gains a machine where acceleration, power delivery and practicality sit together in a way few cars in the catalogue can match.
