The Model X SUV receives higher prices across the United States and Canadian regions due to a $5,000 and a CA$7,000 increase respectively. But fortunately, every purchased Model X now includes free Supercharging and premium connectivity benefits for all time and this change has also led to price increases in the US and Canada. Tesla has also temporarily restricted the availability of Model X in specific European markets which suggests the company may pursue major strategic alterations.
Price Hikes in the U.S. and Canada
The latest price adjustments affect both Model X variants: the standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and the high-performance Plaid version.
Model X AWD: Now costs $84,990 in the U.S. (up from $79,990) and CA$121,990 in Canada (up from CA$114,990).
Model X Plaid: Now priced at $99,990 in the U.S. (up from $94,990) and CA$142,990 in Canada (up from CA$135,990).
The price rise happens at a time when Tesla has implemented various price adjustments throughout their model range over the past twelve months. The new price increase from Tesla includes free lifetime Supercharging as an incentive which the company had eliminated in 2017.

The Return of Free Lifetime Supercharging
Lifetime Supercharging has been reintroduced by Tesla as an essential feature that attracted Model S and Model X buyers in the beginning. The company most likely restored free Supercharging because the Model X sells at a lower rate than the accessible Model Y.
The price rise in Supercharging fees during recent years makes Tesla’s promise of perpetual free use through its network highly important for its dedicated customers. Throughout the vehicle’s life cycle, a driver can save thousands of dollars through the cost savings from free lifetime network access.
Tesla customers get premium connectivity services without any additional fees in their package. The package includes satellite view maps along with live traffic updates and in-car streaming capabilities for Netflix and YouTube that usually demand monthly payments.
Model X Availability Changes in Europe
Some European customers no longer have access to purchase the Model X as Tesla continues to raise prices for its products solely in North America. The company has yet to provide reasons yet analysts propose the following potential causes for the change.
1. The company shows signs of directing its vehicle manufacturing toward satisfying greater demand in U.S. and Canadian markets because of promotional advantages for electric cars including subsidies and charging services.
2. Some sources believe Tesla is developing an enhanced version of the Model X which might feature original hardware elements and different design aspects.
3. The company faces occasional regulatory obstacles when trying to meet safety and emissions regulations in particular European market sectors. The company might have used this factor as a reason to stop their product sales.
What’s Tesla Planning?
New pricing strategies and policy changes implemented by Tesla suggest the company may be preparing to unveil major developments in its operations. The return of free Supercharging and the European sales restrictions signal manufacturing or product development modifications by Tesla.
The company plans to announce new developments in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) functionality at the same time as potential changes to its product lineup for emerging technology. The next-generation Model X which Tesla plans to release might combine enhanced Autopilot hardware with design refinements along with improved efficiency performance.
