The new 355-mile range beats out the current Edition 1’s 329 miles of range, so it’s a pretty decent step up. The SUV will then achieve an EPA-estimated 314 miles of range. These numbers are achieved with the 3X’s standard 22-inch tires and tri-motor setup. The Edition 1 comes with this off-road package explaining the range deficit. When the SUV debuts though, the off-road package will hurt range even more, with estimates falling to 298 miles.
The reason the Extreme Off-Road package is so detrimental to the range comes down to the 18-inch wheels and 35-inch Mud-Terrain tires. The rest of the package consists of underbody cameras, additional skidplates, and rocker protection, but we doubt this adds too much more weight to the vehicle’s already astronomical 9,000 lb curb weight; a number that will only increase with the SUV.
