The guide’s separate motor maximum ratings are not added together as combined output. Exact EV Database European listings give 245 kW (60D/75D), 311 kW (90D/100D), 345 kW (P90D) and 397 kW (P90D Ludicrous), converted to bhp. P100D power is omitted because that database marks 500 kW as estimated.

Range detail
Range detail	WLTP 321–374 miles (xDrive45, depending on trim), 370–426 miles (xDrive60), 321–365 miles (M70)	These pre-Raven versions have NEDC or EPA ratings, rather than WLTP. EV Database’s European NEDC figures include 259 miles (75D), 304 miles (90D), 351 miles (100D) and 337 miles (P100D). They are not entered in the WLTP fields. The 2019 Standard Range, Long Range and later Performance versions belong to the separate Raven generation.

Charging	Battery capacity 94.8 kWh (xDrive45), 109.1 kWh (xDrive60) or 108.9 kWh (M70) as BMW UK lists it; DC up to 175 or 195 kW, 10–80% in 34–35 minutes; AC 11 kW or 22 kW	Exact EV Database European listings: up to 120 kW DC for 60D/75D/90D/P90D and P90D Ludicrous, or 145 kW for 100D/P100D. AC ratings are 11 kW for 60D/90D/P90D/P90D Ludicrous, and 16.5 kW for the listed 75D/100D/P100D versions. These equipment-dependent ratings are not one universal original specification. The 60D used a software-limited 75 kWh pack (EV Database). Battery badge capacities are nominal, and estimated usable values are omitted.

A separate 187-litre front boot is listed. The 357-litre area behind the third row is included in those rear totals. Maximum folded/forward figures are not entered as all-seats-up boot capacity. Early six-seat individual middle-row chairs slide and tilt but do not fold flat, as tested by Car and Driver.
Towing
Towing	2,500 kg braked	Up to 2,250 kg when equipped with the towing package and within gross-weight limits, per the European guide. Its specified 19-inch winter tyres are required if towing on that wheel size; passenger and luggage loads can reduce available capacity.

Main 2,352 kg kerb weight is the guide’s lightest 60D/75D rating with fluids, without occupants or cargo; 90D is 2,389 kg, P90D 2,439 kg, 100D 2,459 kg and P100D 2,487 kg, varying with equipment.
Release and generation details
Release and generation details	–	Tesla’s October 2015 delivery report confirms the first customer handovers in Q3 2015; contemporaneous Fortune coverage places those handovers on 29 September. Main date retains September precision. European battery/motor versions followed later; EV Database’s October 2016 or January 2017 order dates are not treated as this family’s first delivery. Six- and seven-seat layouts are options alongside the five-seat version. The 2019 Raven generation changes the front motor and damping and is documented separately.
