Model S Vs. Model X: Best Tesla Buy For Distance And Range?
Tesla produces some of the most recognizable and successful electric vehicles (EVs) in the market, but there is a substantial difference between the maximum range offered by its most expensive offerings – the Model S and Model X. To further complicate a potential purchase decision, those two vehicles are designed with specific buyers in mind. The Model S is a performance sedan intended to be an example of Tesla's flagship technology while the upcoming Roadster continues to face delays. The Model X, on the other hand, forfeits some performance in favor of more space for passengers and cargo.

Due to these conditions working in its favor, Tesla orders have doubled. That leaves a whole new category of electric vehicle buyers looking for a variety of features in a Tesla, from affordability to software to design.
