Tesla car hood release switch is positioned on the lower panel of the driver's side. Below is extended information about Tesla engines: Power specifications: The Model X features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, with the high-end P90D model delivering 259 horsepower from the front motor and 503 horsepower from the rear motor. It achieves a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, and offers a range of approximately 402 km (250 miles). The standard 90D variant provides a 413 km (257 miles) range, completes 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.9 seconds, and shares the same top speed of 250 km/h. Range details: When fully charged, the Model X with 60 kWh battery delivers 225 miles (362 km) range, while the mid-tier 85 kWh version (non-performance) achieves 295 miles (474 km) range.
Tesla owners know that it's different from conventional gasoline cars, as it doesn't have a traditional engine that makes roaring sounds. Since Tesla is a pure electric vehicle, it uses high-efficiency electric motors. The positioning of the electric motor is ingeniously designed, typically located on the chassis. For example, in front-engine rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive models, the motors are installed near the front and rear axles, which helps balance the vehicle's weight and improves handling stability. When I drive my Model 3, I feel the instant power response, thanks to the motor directly driving the wheels, eliminating the need for intermediate transmission systems. The battery pack is also embedded in the bottom of the chassis, providing ample energy. This layout makes the cabin more spacious and enhances maneuverability when parking or turning.
