What it costs to fuel
Across its configurations, the 2019 Model X costs about $800 to $950 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $860. Over five years that is about $4,300 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.
