With its innovative technologies, quick acceleration, and impressive electric driving range, the Tesla Model X is the gold standard for the electric SUV segment. Find out what we expect for the release date, price, specs, and features of the 2023 Tesla Model X.

When will the 2023 Tesla Model X be available?

The release date of the 2023 Tesla Model X — and all the new model year changes that come with it — will likely be in Fall 2022. However, the 2023 Model X won’t be available in the United States and international markets until much later as there’s a long wait time for customer deliveries of the 2022 Model X. With this in mind, deliveries of the 2023 Model X likely won’t be until early 2023 for the Plaid trim and mid-2023 for the more in-demand Base trim.

The Tesla Model X is built at Tesla’s plant in Fremont, California.

How much does the 2023 Tesla Model X cost?

Tesla didn’t yet provide the price information for the 2023 Model X electric SUV. However, the 2023 Model X will likely cost slightly more than the 2022 Model X. Currently, the starting price of the 2022 Model X is $120,990 for the Base trim and $138,990 for the Plaid trim. Unfortunately, the Model X, like other Tesla vehicles, is no longer eligible for the federal EV tax credit, which helps lower the purchase price of an electric car.
