Model X Pricing

[WhiteKnight]

Assuming that the Model X has the same options and pricing as the Model S. My Model X is gong to cost me about $80K (and that's 60 kWh)!

$59,900		60 kWh Model X
$7,500		AWD Option
$750		Metallic Paint
$1,500		Nappa Leather
$3,500		21" Wheels
$3,750		Tech Package
$950		Sound Studio Package
$1,500		Active Air Suspension
$250		Parcel Shelf
$79,600		TOTAL

I am guessing $7,500 for the AWD option which represents the midpoint of $5K - $10K.

I don't think they will offer a Panoramic Roof since the Falcon Doors have embedded sunroofs in them. Probably can't open any of the glass roofs.

I'm not totally sold on the 21" wheels. Perhaps they will have beefier tires for greater ground clearance. That would be good.

In 2 years when the Model X debuts batteries should be about 14% cheaper. But the Falcon Doors might add some expense to the base model. I would not be surprised, with a starting price of $60K, if Nappa Leather and/or Active Air Suspension were standard features. The Parcel Shelf ought to be standard.

I really like the color on the working prototype. It alternatively looks brown, yellow, gray, silver. Part of that is the lighting in the pictures taken but that is also the depth and character of the paint.

I think I've convinced myself that the AWD will remain an (expensive) option. It is probably at least a second faster 0-60 (expecting 5.9s for the AWD Model X, like the Model S). It will be much better handling, especially when traction control is needed. And it will probably give you a greater range because of the additional regen. So it sounds like something they can easily sell people on and therefore they won't give it away for free.

I expect the 60 kWh AWD to deliver about 200 miles of range which is all I need for everything I might need to do in Atlanta (including head to the mountains, head to the lake, etc) and if they put a supercharger in Greenville (or BMW does) then I can make it to Charlotte and Asheville.

Looks like I better start saving now!

Yeah if they have a supercharger (or BMW, or Michelin) puts a supercharge in Greenville i may up my battery to 60kWh, or 80kWh so I can make it to Charlotte.

You will probably need an additional on-board charger to take advantage of that....which adds another $1,500 based on S pricing. Caveat: Tesla hasn't confirmed/denied supercharger access for 60kWh battery packs yet.

BTW, just my opinion but I think that the X will be slightly more expensive than the S. It's heavier/bigger, has those falcon doors etc. which all tends to equal higher costs/prices. Your chart assumes they start at the same price.

We don't need an additional on-board charger for Tesla's DC Supercharger but we might if we try to use BMW or Michelin's (if they have one).

Tesla has confirmed that 60 kWh battery packs can supercharge. They have just stated that for 60 kWh it's "optional" whereas with the 85 kWh it's "included." So I think most people believe that means you either have to pay more at time of purchase to get the right hardware/software or you have to pay every time you supercharge, whereas the 85 kWh have free access to the supercharging network.

Model X would be more expensive if it were not for the 15% drop in battery costs in 2 years. All Tesla reps are quoted as saying the Model X will be "$60K-90K" so that's where I was starting.

I'm aware of lots of hypothesizing, but that's a pretty bold statement as fact. Great for everyone IF it happens though....

Hmmm, I seem to remember Elon saying "similar to...S"; I don't think he said "The same as...S" and we can probably agree he didn't mean "Less than...S". FWIW, I have heard "...similiar to the Model S..." but how should I know what's the right answer?

Tesla really needs to clarify though.

If it's optional it's extra cost.....

I am expecting a 60kW Model X with no AWD to cost more than the 60kW Model S.
About $5000 more would qualify as "similar to the Model S".

My point exactly. I think you're probably about right with the $'s.

Mine will cost $59,900.
