Entry to the Tesla Model X club gets a bit cheaper with 60D

Tesla has opened the Falcon Wing door to Model X ownership a little bit wider, adding a 60 kWh model to the lineup. It doesn’t have the same long-legged range as more expensive models, but the 60D should help bolster sales of the expensive electric SUV.

Cutting the battery size means, as you might imagine, a cut in range. Tesla is claiming you’ll be able to cover 200 mi (322 km) on a full change, 37 mi (60 km) less than you’ll get from a 75D. Although there’s a small range sacrifice, there’s no performance loss associated with choosing the entry-level model.
