2024 Tesla Model X: EPA Range And Energy Consumption Comparison

2023 Tesla Model X (Ultra Red color)

The EPA driving range varies between 300 and 335 miles, while its total energy consumption is 2.7-3.0 miles/kWh.

The 2024 Tesla Model X's official range and energy consumption ratings were recently listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website. The ratings confirm a slight decrease in range due to the EPA's new methodology, which affected all EVs.

The Tesla Model X has two versions on the market—the base Long Range all-wheel drive (AWD) and the tri-motor Plaid version. Both versions are equipped either with 20-inch or 22-inch wheels.

In 2022-2023, the Model X Long Range AWD with 20-inch wheels had an EPA combined range of 348 miles, while the Plaid had up to 333 miles (311 miles with 22-inch wheels).

The updated EPA methodology—which draws average energy consumption from best- and worst-case drive modes instead of using the default driving mode—has brought the numbers down by 2-4%.

The latest 2024 Tesla Model X Long Range AWD with 20-inch wheels has an EPA Combined range of 335 miles. With 22-inch wheels, it's 322 miles, according to Tesla, as there is no EPA rating card. The Plaid version with 20-inch wheels has 326 miles of range (300 miles with optional 22-inch wheels):

• LR AWD 20-inch: 335 miles (down 13 miles or 3.7% from 348 miles)
• LR AWD 22-inch: 322 miles (down 8 miles or 2.4% from 330 miles)
• Plaid 20-inch: 326 miles (down 7 miles or 2.1% from 333 miles)
• Plaid 22-inch: 300 miles (down 11 miles or 3.5% from 311 miles)

As we can see, there is a slight difference between the 20- and 22-inch wheels sizes:

• LR AWD 20-inch: 335 miles

• LR AWD 22-inch: 322 miles

  [13 miles or 3.9% less than LR AWD 20-inch]

• Plaid 20-inch: 326 miles

  [9 miles or 2.7% less than LR AWD 20-inch]

• Plaid 22-inch: 300 miles

  [26 miles or 8.0% less than Plaid 20-inch]

  [35 miles or 10.4% less than LR AWD 20-inch]

Energy consumption of the 2024 Tesla Model X Long Range AWD with 20-inch wheels, including charging losses, is estimated at 100 MPGe or about 337 watt-hours per mile (3.0 miles/kWh).

The Plaid version with the 20-inch version is rated at 98 MPGe: 344 Wh/mi or 2.9 miles/kWh, while the 22-inch version at 90 MPGe: 374 Wh/mi or 2.7 miles/kWh.

Let's note that the highway MPGe ratings are slightly lower than the combined values. We can estimate that the EPA Highway range is about 10-20 miles lower. However, this is only a rough estimate because the MPGe number includes charging losses. A similar situation concerns the Model S.
