The new member of the Tesla family arrives, the Model X 60D

Elon Musk is immune to discouragement and is ready to launch solutions for everyone who wants to drive one of the Tesla models. Now the time has come to welcome a new member into the Model X family, slightly below the previous models. Thus, the Model X 60D joins the 75D, 90D and 90PD.

This is the model with the lowest performance in the family, which will have a starting price of 74,000 dollars, a price that is 9,000 dollars below the next one in the range, the 75D. In this model, the buyer will get a vehicle with a power output of 295 CV and a maximum torque of 441 Nm. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes place in 6 seconds, and it reaches a top speed of 225 km/h.

Less range with the same specifications

These specifications are identical to those offered by the Tesla Model X 75D, although there is one difference that sets it apart from the other. It is the range, which drops from 381 kilometres to 322 in the case of the new version. This reduction is not physical but is due to a modification of the software it is fitted with, so we could be looking at a Model X 75D in disguise.

The new Model X 60D arrives after a season in which the brand has been facing numerous criticisms due to accidents recorded with its autonomous driving systems. In addition, some data have been made public showing that the company is not going through a good time, despite its optimistic expectations.

Tesla is facing a difficult moment, but it knows how to convey optimism about its future.There have also been reports of problems with delivery dates for the cars sold, due to a shortage of sufficient units produced to meet demand. Despite this, the company’s image is still recognised as one of the most important in the United States and the most innovative in the automotive industry. Elon Musk has always been very positive, entrepreneurial and conveys an image of confidence that has an impact on sales.

Will Tesla really be the company that sets the pace for the industry, thanks to its proposals for electric and autonomous cars? Possibly, if they manage to solve the image problem they currently have, something of this may be seen, especially if they offer more affordable versions of the models they produce.
