How we verifyKey specifications for the Tesla Model X (2016–2021) — dimensions, wheels and tires, cold tire pressures, and wheel-nut torque, from the Tesla owner manual. Power, weight and range vary by variant — check the label on your car’s door pillar for exact figures.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Thinking of different wheels or tyres? see how they change your Tesla Model X clearance and speedometer → Our wheel-offset & backspacing tool opens prefilled with this tyre's OEM fitment (20": front 265/45 R20, rear 275/45 R20 · 22": front 265/35 R22, rear 285/35 R22) so you can see the change in poke, clearance and speedometer error.
