2022 TESLA MODEL X LONG RANGE 70 MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

This review tests the 2022 Tesla Model X Long Range's highway efficiency against the BMW iX M60. The Model X, equipped with 20-inch wheels and a 100 kWh battery, achieved a real-world range of 331 miles at a constant 70 mph, consuming 281 Wh/mile. While this efficiency is impressive for a large SUV, it fell short of the BMW iX M60's 339-mile result in the same test, despite the iX having a larger battery and less efficient 22-inch wheels. The reviewer highlights Tesla's mastery of drivetrain efficiency but notes the iX offers a superior driving experience with a quieter cabin and smoother ride, albeit at a higher price point. The Model X's significant road noise and build quality concerns (panel gaps) are noted as drawbacks. Ultimately, while the Model X is highly efficient, the BMW iX managed to out-range it in this specific test, a surprising outcome given the Model X's reputation.
