Tesla S/X
Tesla's original skateboard chassis, designed specifically for electric — battery flat in the floor, compact motors on the axles — shared by the Model S (2012) and Model X (2015). This is the platform that established the skateboard layout as the norm; almost every EV that came after adopted the idea. For a used-car buyer the two live questions are the battery condition (ask about remaining capacity) and the charging speed: early examples charge considerably slower than the later refresh and update cars.
Tesla S/X is the EV platform of Tesla, in production since 2012, with a 400V architecture. The Tesla S/X platform carries 2 models from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on Tesla S/X runs from 567 to 744 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
