History
History of the Tesla Model X
The Model X is Tesla's large electric SUV, introduced in 2015. Derived from the Model S platform, it stands out with its vertical-opening rear doors known as 'Falcon Wing' doors and offers seating for up to seven. It targets families and buyers wanting space, versatility, and performance, with a very powerful tri-motor Plaid version. On the tire and wheel side, its weight and size call for large wheels (typically 20 to 22 inches) and high-load-index tires. In Quebec, a set of winter tires suited to these dimensions is crucial for traction on snow and the stability of a heavy vehicle; check the load index before buying.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Tesla utilisent généralement des roues de grand diamètre: 18, 19 ou 20 pouces pour les Model 3 et Model Y, jusqu'à 21 pouces sur certaines versions Performance, et formats encore plus grands sur Model S, Model X et Cybertruck. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) fréquent des Model 3 et Model Y est 5x114,3 mm. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, beaucoup de propriétaires optent pour un second jeu de roues d'hiver de plus petit diamètre afin de réduire le coût des pneus, protéger les jantes du calcium et préserver l'autonomie par temps froid. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte, l'indice de charge et l'entraxe selon le modèle et l'année avant l'achat.
