Tesla has sold every car that they made for the US. And has orders for most of next years production. What other car company can say that? Interestingly, Ford has backorders for it's EV pickup, also. And Tesla's hold their value far better than any other car made.
Based solely on the outstanding 5-year resale-value numbers of the 2021 Tesla Model X, you can’t draw any useful conclusions about the popularity of electric vehicles. You can, however, confidently assert that the way the Model X holds on to its value over time reinforces the trend towards SUVs taking over the world.
With seating for up to seven, Tesla’s 3-row pure-electric SUV starts off steep — at $80,000 — with no federal tax incentives or Tesla free-charging incentives offered to ease that pain. Nevertheless, KBB predicts that after five years, you’ll still be able to sell your Model X for 47.3% of what you paid for it. That’s a generous percentage for any vehicle, much less an electric SUV with “Falcon Wing” (gullwing, really) rear doors.
Tesla offers the 2021 Model X in two versions, both using front and rear motors for all-wheel drive. For $88,490, the 670-horsepower Long Range model travels 360 miles on a full charge. Its two motors provide 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds. Using three motors, the Plaid model — starting at $118,490 — gets you a range of 340 miles, but it’s also good for 1,020 horsepower and a 0-60 sprint of close to insane: 2.5 seconds. Charge times vary, but using Tesla’s Supercharger network, you can add 175 miles in 15 minutes.
