2026 Tesla Model X: Final-Year Flagship SUV With Up to 1,020 hp

The 2026 Tesla Model X is the last Model X Tesla will ever build. CEO Elon Musk announced on the company's Q4 2025 earnings call in January 2026 that Model S and Model X production would end in the second quarter, and by April 1 he confirmed that custom orders had stopped and only inventory remained. The final units, a 100-car Signature Edition run, were built at the Fremont factory in April and May 2026, closing an 11-year run for the SUV best known for its Falcon Wing doors. The 2026 model year lineup was simple: a dual-motor All-Wheel Drive version with 670 hp and up to 352 miles of EPA range, and a tri-motor Plaid with up to 1,020 hp and a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time. There is no direct successor, and the Fremont floor space is being converted to build Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot. As of September 2026 the Model X is a discontinued car, not a current one, so this guide covers what it was, what it cost at the end and what owners and used-car shoppers should know.

Performance & Specs

The entry Model X, badged simply All-Wheel Drive, uses two motors and a 100 kWh battery to produce 670 hp (500 kW). Tesla and US outlets rate it at 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 mph with a 155 mph top speed. The Plaid adds a third motor for a combined 1,020 hp (760 kW), a claimed 2.5-second 0-60 mph time and a 163 mph top speed. That makes it one of the quickest three-row SUVs ever sold, even if a big three-row body makes that number more of a party trick than a daily need. The trade-off in range is small: EPA lists 352 miles (566 km) for the All-Wheel Drive and 335 miles (539 km) for the Plaid, with the exact figure depending on wheel size and configuration. Both trims are all-wheel drive and both use the same 100 kWh battery. Tesla has not published torque figures for the current cars in the sources we reviewed, so we leave them out rather than guess.

Dimensions & Practicality

Length	≈ 5,040–5,060 mm (198.3–199.2 in)
Width	1,999 mm (78.7 in, without mirrors)
Height	≈ 1,680–1,720 mm (66.1–67.7 in)
Wheelbase	2,965 mm (116.7 in)

The Model X is a big vehicle: roughly 199 inches long on a 116.7-inch wheelbase, and about 79 inches wide before you count the mirrors. Tesla sold it in three seating layouts. Five seats were standard, a six-seat layout with second-row captain's chairs cost $6,500, and a seven-seat version cost $3,500. Seven seats were an option because the third row is best suited to smaller passengers. Behind the second row a five-seat car holds about 39.2 cubic feet of cargo, and with the second row folded the number grows to roughly 87 to 92 cubic feet depending on who is measuring and how the car is configured. A front trunk adds another 6.5 cubic feet (about 183 litres). Ground clearance changes with the air suspension setting, which is also why published height figures vary by a couple of inches.

LENGTH	≈ 5,040–5,060 mm
WIDTH	1,999 mm (without mirrors)
HEIGHT	≈ 1,680–1,720 mm
WHEELBASE	2,965 mm
SEATING	5, 6 or 7 seats
CARGO VOLUME	39.2 cu ft (5-seat, rear seats up) / about 87–92 cu ft (second row folded)
FRUNK	6.5 cu ft (≈ 183 L)

Charging & Battery

Both trims share a 100 kWh lithium-ion pack, which EV Database lists as 95 kWh usable. Peak DC fast charging is 250 kW at a Tesla Supercharger, which is enough for a 10 to 80 percent top-up in about 28 to 30 minutes according to two independent sources. Home charging runs through an 11.5 kW onboard charger, so a full charge takes roughly 8.7 hours on a suitable Level 2 circuit according to one source. Tesla equipped US cars with the NACS connector. On the final inventory cars Tesla included lifetime Supercharging and lifetime Premium Connectivity, which matters if you plan to use the SUV for long trips, because it removes the per-kWh Supercharger bill for the life of the vehicle.

BATTERY	100 kWh gross (about 95 kWh usable)
AC CHARGING	11.5 kW
DC FAST CHARGING	250 kW peak
DC 10-80% TIME	about 28–30 min

Design & Interior

The Model X shape is unmistakable: a tall, smooth, aerodynamic body with a long glass roof and, of course, the Falcon Wing rear doors. When they open, the hinged upper section folds up and out of the way, giving rear passengers a much wider opening than a conventional sliding door in a tight garage. The current interior keeps the minimalist Tesla approach, with almost every function handled by a central touchscreen and light-colored upholstery options that include white Alcantara on the Signature Edition. Second-row passengers get their own touchscreen for video apps and climate, and the six-seat layout swaps the bench for two individual seats with a center console. The design has changed only in details since the 2021 refresh, which is one reason many reviewers describe the Model X as one of the oldest designs in the premium electric SUV class.

Technology & Features

Tesla positions the Model X around its software. Over-the-air updates add features long after purchase, and 2026 models were sold with the Luxe Package, which bundles Full Self-Driving (Supervised), four years of Premium Service, Supercharging access and premium connectivity. In September 2026 Tesla began rolling out FSD v14.2 Lite to older Hardware 3 Model S and Model X owners, a sign that the company still supports discontinued cars with software. Musk also said on July 24, 2026 that Tesla plans to open-source the Model S and Model X design and software, following the earlier Roadster release, but gave no date or scope, and Electrek noted that the Roadster release was thin. Tesla has told owners that software updates and service will continue.

Safety & ADAS

The Luxe Package on 2026 Model X cars includes Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Despite the name, FSD (Supervised) is a Level 2 system: the driver must keep their eyes on the road and be ready to take over at any time. Because Tesla is no longer building new Model X cars, owners can expect software support to be the main ongoing feature story rather than new hardware. Shoppers comparing the Model X with rivals should also check crash-test ratings and recall status for the specific model year before buying, since we could not confirm a complete 2026 crash-test result for this article.

ADAS LEVEL	L2 (Full Self-Driving Supervised, included with Luxe Package)
ADAS FEATURES	Full Self-Driving (Supervised) on 2026 cars; driver must supervise at all times

Pricing & Availability

Through the end of 2025 and into early 2026 the 2026 Model X listed at $99,990 for the All-Wheel Drive and $114,990 for the Plaid, before destination and including the Luxe Package. Once custom orders ended, Tesla raised prices on all remaining new and demo Model S and Model X inventory by $15,000 in early April 2026, taking the Model X to $114,990 and the Plaid to $129,990. By April 1 only about 301 new Model X units remained worldwide, almost all in the United States, and within days Tesla's US inventory page showed virtually no new units left. The Signature Edition sold out on April 16 at $159,420, and its delivery event was postponed from May 12 and rescheduled to May 20. Buyers reportedly had to sign a one-year no-resale agreement. We could not confirm whether any new Model X remains at Tesla stores in September 2026. The federal EV tax credit ended on September 30, 2025, and the Model X was above the $80,000 price cap for SUVs in any case, so no federal credit applies to a 2026 purchase.

How It Compares

None of these three are sold in the United States, so this is a value snapshot rather than a real cross-shop, and China's CLTC range cycle is more generous than the EPA cycle, so the range figures are not directly comparable. Even so, the power and price columns tell a clear story. The Xiaomi YU7 GT makes 660 hp, almost exactly the base Model X's 670 hp, for $53,109, which is about half the Model X's $99,990 list price. The Denza N9 goes further with 912 hp for $51,648, only about 108 hp short of the Plaid for roughly a third of the Plaid's $129,990 final-stock price. The NIO ES9 is the closest in ambition, a large premium SUV with 650 hp at $77,914. The Model X's advantages are things these cars do not offer to an American buyer: a Supercharger network, the Falcon Wing doors and the fact that it is actually on sale in the US, even if only from leftover stock.
