Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the Tesla Model X registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (510 cars), engine power from 19 countries, kerb weight from 21 countries. Source: EEA COβ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).

Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.
