2020 Tesla Model X

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says it is hard to know exactly what is new on a 2020 Model X because Tesla makes constant running changes through the calendar year. It lists a claimed 325-mile range for the Long Range and 305 miles for the Performance, with 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds for the Long Range. InsideEVs (opens in a new tab) covers the refresh Tesla announced in its Q4 2020 results, which reached the 2021 model rather than this one.

EPA lists the 2020 Model X at 79 to 105 MPGe combined, 258 to 351 miles of range and $700 to $950 a year in energy. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) puts used 2020 Model Xs at $34,400 for the Long Range up to $38,800 for the Performance from a dealer.

NHTSA lists ten recall campaigns for the 2020 Model X: 21V846000 for false forward-collision warnings, 22V037000 for the Full Self-Driving Beta rolling-stop function, 22V063000 and 22V235000 for the Boombox speaker masking pedestrian warning sounds, 22V818000 for loss of power steering assist on rough roads, 23V085000 for Full Self-Driving Beta behavior, 23V838000 for Autosteer driver controls, 24V051000 for a warning-light font size, 24V153000 for muted pedestrian sounds after a factory reset, and 24V376000 for a seat belt warning chime. Most are fixed by over-the-air software update.

Owners have filed 127 complaints with NHTSA, led by suspension with 37, electrical system with 28, forward collision avoidance with 24, unknown or other with 22, and steering and vehicle speed control with 18 each. Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) rates the year much less reliable than the average car, and ProblemsByVin (opens in a new tab) tracks the model by year.

EPA rates the 2020 Model X at 79 to 105 MPGe and $700 to $950 a year. Tesla's own 2020 Model S lists 97 to 117 MPGe at $650 to $800, and the Model Y 111 to 121 at $650 to $700. The Model X is the largest SUV of the three, and it pays for that in efficiency.
