The all-new 2016 Tesla Model X comes in four trims - 60D, 75D, 90D, and P90D. The trims vary in features, obviously, and also vary in battery capacities, range, and performance. The 75D has a 75 kWh battery pack and a range of up to 237 miles, whereas the 90D has a bigger 90 kWh battery and the longest range - 257 miles. The P90D tweaks the 90 kWh battery on the 90D for more performance, for a drop-in range.
The 60D is powered by a 60 kWh battery pack which is basically the 75 kWh battery found on the 75D, with the option to unlock the remaining capacity. One thing about Tesla is that it doesn’t differentiate between its trims by way of features and as a result, all the cars are loaded to the brim no matter how powerful they may be. In practice, it is safe to say that the 60D trim is as well-equipped as the P90D, albeit with a smaller battery and lower range.

The Model X is a very well-equipped crossover but still, the manufacturer offers options to customize the crossovers up to the consumer’s taste. Some of the popular packages include the Premium Upgrades package that adds in features like ventilated front seats, HEPA cabin air filter, synthetic suede headliner extended leather surfaces and adaptive headlights. Other packages include the Subzero Weather package and the Towing package that add further options.
We recommend
Since the features are very similar on all the trims, we recommend the 75D which gives a considerable upgrade to the 60D range and saves $10,000 over the 90D trim. The 90D would’ve been our choice but the 37 miles upgrade in the range doesn’t justify the price bump. Adding to the already well-equipped trim, the Premium Upgrades package does justify its worth with all the features it adds in.
