I was not an EV fan until my daughter got a Tesla. That thing is amazing. It's just a whole different experience. We drove through fast, heavy traffic last night. She set the destination and turned on the auto pilot. The car weaved it's way through traffic, took the right exit, got us there with a lot less stress than usual. I'm in love.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Guess what. I'm giving my 2007 Honda Pilot to my college-bound grandson and buying a Model Y. I drove it today and now I'll never be happy again until I get my new car.
Our 2019 100D (Pre Raven) has been amazing for past 4 yrs, put 50k on it. Just needed a 12V after 44months (warranty) and tires around 45k, otherwise has been SOLID! Now just need to sell it. Squeezed in a $79,990 “Tax Edition” Model X right before end of 2023. So far the 2023 has been awesome, none of the issues you described. Great video!
We have a 2022 Model X Plaid and have a little over 29k miles on it (Took delivery on September of 2022). Home is off grid (100% solar) we have saved literally thousands on gas. So far after 1.5 years of ownership we have saved tons of cash in comparison. Have had Tesla EVs for 5 years and have a total savings of over $35k in saving for gas between the two (based on how much we drive it). Fortunately, have not had any issues with any of the teslas in the past 5 years and battery degradation has been miraculously 0 for both cars... Model 3 had some paint issues (Which tesla fixed), Y was perfect (no issues at all) and the Model X we had was just a falcon wing door alignment but that's it. Most maintenance we have had so far has just been Tires.
I traded my X to take advantage of transferring FSD to the new car. Love the new X! It Supercharges unbelievably fast! Just finished a 2000 mile road trip, and it worked great! Pro tip: when I traded, I configured my new X, got a price, but then checked to see if there were any “inventory” cars available. And there was! I was able to find one with EXACTLY the configuration I wanted (color, wheels, 5 seats, round steering wheel) for $10,000 less than ordering one, plus it was available immediately!
@@Trust_but_Verify I don’t know if they would ship the car. I was lucky that mine just happened to be local. Way back in 2013, when I bought my first Tesla, they did ship the car from out of State.
@@RudyBloor This was right after the Earnings Call in August. They announced the most recent price drop after I had taken delivery. But, the principle still applies: always check to see if there is an Inventory car available for a lower price and/or quicker delivery. Mine was brand new: 30 miles. I’ve had zero issues.
@@adairmartin thank you for letting me know. ive been toying with the idea of a model X since june and saw some discounts back then. havent seen anything discounted after the drop aside from specs with the ridiculously overpriced 22s my build is set to be here within a week, so im glad to hear you havent been having issues. hoping its perfect when i get it so i dont have to reject it and miss out on fsd transfer. my 3 had tons of problems and everyone on the internet always talks about problems on the X
I have a 2020 Model X, 7 Seater, Long Range with 22” wheels. I have less problems than I expected. Here are the issues that were fixed - all under warranty: 1) MCU SD card failed twice, preventing software updates; 2) Ball joints developed vibration during acceleration; 3) 12v batterie failed twice. I have had zero issues with squeaks nor any issues with Falcon Wing doors. That said, I never open them inside the garage out of an abundance of caution. I didn’t have any debris in my paint but there were swirls which I had removed when I had the car ceramic coated. My biggest complaint is the road noise. It is significant at highway speeds. BTW I am still on original tires. I expect they will need changing at 50k. Would I buy another Model X? Yes, that’s how much I love it.
I’ve had my model x for 5 yrs now and i’ve had no problem with the falcon wing doors opening into something. I have had no seat squeaks or rattles but i had a bunch of paint defects on the hood which Tesla fixed for me. I have 76000 miles now and when i got mine i received lifetime free supercharging and i also charge at work for free. I have to disagree with the cost of maintenance, i’ve had 0 issues with the falcon wing doors and still don’t need brakes.
the great thing about EV's is the lack of use of the mechanical brakes. The regen braking is really good and means you almost never touch the real brakes on the car.
I really appreciate your videos! The camera work and narration are among the best of these types of channels. With the huge price drop, I have ordered a Model X. I've had a M3 and MY (my current car). Each has had a few minor issues. However, they have never compromised the safety of the car or left me stranded. I've had that experience with new gas powered vehicles! I only would consider a Tesla because of the superior charging experience and the incredible software. I am renting FSD. While expensive, I enjoy the heck out of using it everywhere. Keep up the great work!
Great video. The MX is tempting since the price reduction. My MS driver seat also used to squeak. I bought Lithium Grease off Amzn, removed the head rest, and greased up the back plate all around. Hasn't squeaked since. Also the seat belt latch can rub on the seat, you can put foam or grease between the latch and seat to solve that issue.
That was the BEST video! Exactly what I wanted to hear about. Pros, cons, all your details about cost for electricity, etc. Very well thought out and produced!!! Thank you.
Our September 2022 MXLR has had many issues to a point that we submitted a buyback request. Aside from all the issues we had, it is a great car. We love road trips with it. Only thing I would say is, don't expect to have a problem-free Model X.
@@aleshka4712yes they gave 100% back plus registration renewal. In our case it was fairly easy. Our service records provided enough “evidence”. I have many videos on my channel going through the process. We took delivery of X Plaid to replace it Tesla is buying back our 2022 Model X Long Range ua-cam.com/video/0gdxEpKZWeE/v-deo.html
Love this Model X Refresh (2022). Quite a few small issues, but quickly solved by the service center. Fantastic for long road trips, especially with FSD. 23K miles now.
We got our X the same week you got yours. We are just returning from Road Trip from Pennsylvania to Florida to Pennsylvania. Best Road Trip car ever. As you point out charges quickly, preforms superbly. Very comfortable. None of your issues yet. Best car I’ve ever had. I have a Might as well, like the rest of the world I’m waiting on the cybertruck. The X vs. Y is easy. If you can easily afford to have so much money tied up buy the X. I like to say the Y is 2/3 the car of the X at 1/2 the price. If you get a Y get the speed boost. :)
We sold our 2017 Model X 100D last year… absolutely loved that car. Bought a Model Y Performance due to the prices of a new Model X. However, while we love the Model Y and it is the best in its segment in terms of price, space and overall package, it is a big downgrade if you have gotten used to all the extras you get in a Model X. Miss the screen in front of the driver, miss the bigger seats, miss the falcon doors (amazing in tight parking spaces with kids or stuff in the back), miss the regular electric doors in the front (I still put my foot on the brake a year later expecting my door to close 😢), and we miss the extra space. We might have to save up for a new Model X in a couple of years, nothing in the electric market beats the overall package you get for that price imo.
May I ask why you sold it? I’m looking around at used 2016-18 Model X’s since the price gap for newer ones are too much. Should I go ahead and buy one? I currently have a Mazda CX9. The falcon doors and space is what is attracting me but I heard Teslas battery doesn’t do well in the winter. Just scared of going away from gas.
Hi mate, do you know if it's possible to improve the 0-60 acceleration of a Model X from 3.8 sec down closer to 3 sec? If so, what would need to be done to it?
I have a 2018 Model X with currently 222,000 relatively problem free miles. I have the 22in wheels, but my tires only had to be replaced at around 70k miles. Never had issues with the Falcon doors. At 190k I had to replace bushings on the front driver side suspension. That's about it. Unfortunately, while on the freeway, a truck's wheel came off and caused a fair amount of damage. Due to the high mileage, my insurance declared the car totalled. I'll be getting another Model x, hopefully that lasts over 200 thousand miles as well. Model x is well worth the money for performance and flexing 😁
We are moving from a '19 Cayenne to a newly ordered MXP. We paid $94k for the Cayenne and will pay the same for the MXP. I chuckled when you talked about service wait times because we waited over a year for our dealer to replace our driver's seat. I have a M3P and while that thing is bullet proof, I'm holding my breath on the X but we are super excited!! Oh and great video by the way! Your X looks great!!
Just got my X a couple of weeks ago (also have a Y). No delivery issues (went through everything twice over). Paint is perfect (fortunately). Just returned from ky first road trip with it and absolutely love it. Space is awesome (previously owned a Dodge Durango RT). Plan on keep this X for a long time. Love my Y as well, but needed the space ... and oooohhh the space it has (I have a 5 seater simply because of the added space/fully folding back seats).
@@Trust_but_Verify don’t know about the radar on HW4. There are no parking sensors, that’s totally vision. While it’s getting better, it’s not as good as my old X with HW3. And the self opening front doo still doesn’t open all the way yet.
I had pre-ordered a Fisker Ocean Extreme and have been waiting on that vehicle for about a year. I had recently gotten the notice that the vehicle was moving to production to be built when I learned that the Model X had been reduced to the point where it qualified for the tax credit. I ended up deciding to forfeit my $1,000 USD deposit in the Fisker and decided to go with the Model X instead because of the insane value that it brings at the reduced price point with the 7.5k tax credit. Your videos helped me make the decision. Thanks for the content!
@jillshaub5093 Yes, in hindsight it was the right choice with everything going on with Fisker. Other than some window alignment issues which Tesla already serviced, the car has been awesome.
The only color that is not extra is the stealth grey. You can upgrade to the white interior , and as long as you keep it to the 5 seater version, you still can qualify for the $7,500. The solid black exterior is extra and it shows scratches extremely easily.
No paint issues with my October 2022 Austin made Model Y. However I paid $9,000 more than the current price for the same car. Changes I would like see in the Model Y will probably be addressed in the Juniper. I would like 430 miles of range though.
can u tell me which rear entertainment screen is best and easiest to install myself. I just need UA-cam and Netflix for 3 and 5 year old and can it be setup from the front screen thank you
So the either a smaller one or the one that is like a floating screen sticking out a bit. Those both use the existing fan vents in the back, which will prevent you from losing a lot of the ability to direct air in the back.
Enjoy the video. Wondering what are your thoughts now that the Cyber Truck is out and the features it bring would Tesla add those features to the Model X Thanks
Good video! Sold my model 3 and buying a new Model S. This time around, I’m leasing. For me it makes more sense because of all the depreciation and new tech that becomes available over time. In 4 years I give it back and it becomes not my problem. 😉
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thanks. When I ordered it said “September / October delivery” but the next day they switched it to “October / November”. Going to be a long wait. 😅
@@MisterChibsYou know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Great video. I pulled the trigger on base MX 5 seater ultra red. We will qualify for the tax credit. We did a test drive after booking and it was amazing how this car drives & Tesla technology. Didnt like the yoke steering though. Our current vehicles are Audi Q7 & BMW 3 both are at replacement age. Just fingers crossed on ours interms of body panel gaps, paint issues & FWD alingments. This is our first EV and I have free charging at work. Hope this works out.current EDD is Sept 28-Nov 2nd. Excited.
Yeah... once they change the model X in 2025 the older ones will be heavily discounted just all the model y. They're practically giving those cars away 😂😂😂😂
I rented a model X plaid on turo for a road trip. I loved the experience however hearing the falcon wing doors squeaking and rattling every time you go over a bump seems like a big miss. And the driver display would randomly just shut off for no reason and there was nothing you could do to get it back on other than hope. At these price points they need to sort these things out.
Good review. I love my new X. I bought mine 3 weeks before the drop. In regards to the horn don't forget if you are in a hurry all you have to do is grab a hold of the right horizontal wing of the the yoke and the horn will honk.
I’ve owned a Model S (leased) which I gave back for a Model X (pre-Raven) in 2018. I love my Tesla, but I wouldn’t do the Model X again simply because of the gull wing doors. They are cool and they get attention, but they are also a real pain. I’ve lived in Tampa, Orlando, and Nashville and while I’m not comparing Apples to Apples the Orlando Service Center is hands down the worst service center I’ve been to from a customer perspective. I’ve had a lot of issues with my Model X from delivery paint issues to wrong configuration. I’ve been locked out of the vehicle twice because the 12 v battery died with no warning. I had the HV battery fail and needed replacement in the middle of the pandemic which took 3 months. It also took more effort than it should have to get Tesla to make it right. All that said though I’d still pick a Tesla every day of the week. The service side needs work, but in some centers you would never know this is an issue such as Nashville (at least in my experience). If you are in Orlando it is a huge issue. They can fix those things though and I view them as a temporary inconvenience. I do worry about all these companies adopting the Tesla chargers and Superchargers getting congested, but that really doesn’t affect me too much since 90% of my charging is at home. But as I said, I can’t imagine my next car not being a Tesla.
I have pretty much the exact Model X and I picked it up on 3/31/23, WOW. The only real difference is I have the 5 seat version, which I wanted because I have even more trunk room and leg room in back seat. So I can carry 4 golfers and bags very easy. I also don’t have any rattles or other issues with strange warnings. I did just notice that a front sensor is missing, and the trim on front passenger side wheel has come loose, but that is probably from car wash or something like that. Service is very fast where I live and didn’t even have to wait a week.
PS. I love the yoke. It is way more comfortable, especially on long highway drives, and I used to ride a motorcycle so the turn signal buttons were easy for me to get used to. I do struggle with the horn button as you do, but other than that I love the yoke and no stalks….
Thank you for your honest opinion. Your video convinced me not to get 1. It is not worth the hassle and money even though it's a great deal compared to 2 weeks ago. Even with a tax rebate, it is still an expensive car. I always felt Falcon wings felt gimmicky with a cool-looking factor. It's a great door in concept if it works.
Did they fix the Camera issue when getting into the car, i have that same issue on my 2023 MYP.. Also happens on autopilot at night.. different warnings about the cameras.. but doesn't do it on FSD..
The Y P is quiet without squeaks. Great handling. Easier to drive park and garage. Good room and practicality. I also have an X. For up to 4 passengers Y is fine-rear seat backs recline. X- better ride and room. ventilated seats. more premium.
A selling point for me is the speedometer. The removal of the signal stalks ( and other buttons we are all used to) represents a no go, as much as the yolk did. Can only imagine the time Hertz has spent teaching people to operate these cars just to get them out of the lot. Sure I can learn, and I may be able to teach my wife, but as a senior, .... why? Do not have the interest, spent all my energy over the years figuring out DOS and dip switch settings and generations of printer and video and phone charging cables. Progress I had no choice but to follow. But, I can still get an EV I can get into that have the controls that have worked well for many decades (while trying to remember not to put gas in it). Difference for the sake of being different is a sales gimmick that probably best works on the young. Big Tesla fan for all the other reasons though.
I'm on the fence right now. Took a Model X home for the weekend to try it out. Overall, I LOVED IT!!!! But, the drivers side falcon door wouldn't close all the way, (had to close it from the display in the drivers seat) and there was a rattle in the back seat. Of course I'm thankful for the price reductions, but I'm nervous about spending this much and being disappointed. Your review was really good. Thank you. I was very concerned about what you said regarding the paint. What did Tesla do for you?
They didn't do anything for me on the paint. My option was to leave it as it is or have it repainted. I am not going to go down a route that includes repainting anything
Do you know if tesla offers an acceleration boost for the model X as they do for the 3 and Y? Just thinking it's a little way to get closer to plaid speeds without the higher price tag.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy That’s freaking awesome. We live in St. Louis and once our oldest finishes high school we will be making our way to Orlando as well. We frequently go to Disney and on cruises. Happy for you Bro! ✌🏾
My 2021 Model 3 LR had both its front seats squeaked horribly. The passenger one ended up being replaced as it was broken from the factory and the drivers seat was fixed in service appointments, but it took 3 appointments to get fixed. Nothing is more frustrating than a squeaky seat!
coming from a model y i dont think i can get used to the large window...i can see the reflection on the street lines in the side of the windshield and the tint seems to cross too low on the windshield...
Thanks so much for this video. I finally to possession of my MX Plaid. It is an amazing machine. I haven’t had any of these issues. And fingers crossed I do not. But thanks so much for being honest and showing the good the bad and the ugly. Very informative.
Big question, is additional $ for X really worth it versus the Y. I’m a taller person and X feels more comfortable, but the Y would work. Just hard swallowing the extra $. If that gap narrows even more, than I’d go X
As a 5+ year Model 3 driver, YES! 100% I'm 6' 2" (215lbs) and was blown away by my new X test drive and ordered on on 9/4 after test driving some competition including the Y, Cadillac Lyriq, Fisker Ocean and Polestar 2.
it will if you dont set the height. To do so, open the hatch and stop it, then manually open it to the desired height. Press and hold the open button until you hear a beep. Now your hatch will open at that height every time.
I only did well with my first Tesla's 2013 S P85. I found a buyer and got most my list price back after 2 years. Every other one had huge depreciation.
Does 3 row leg room is same as Model Y? Planning to upgrade to X but my main question is about 3 Rd row sitting. By paying 90k we should be getting enough leg room than Model Y 7 seater
I loved this video, especially with the comparison between the Model X and comparable ICE vehicle in size. One factor you didn't cover is that the Audi Q7 would've traveled 9,000 miles a lot faster, with a lot less headache, getting a real 550 miles of range and taking 10 minutes to fill up.
But remember that’s 10 minutes to fill up every time. The Tesla only takes you waiting when you are road tripping. I plug in the garage, never go to the gas station to fill ip
Bought my X 7 seat, 22s, 2 weeks before the price drop. A $10k drop for me. Hurts but damn the vehicle is great. Even after my service appointment issues being fixed. Added all around tint this week. Wrap coming at the end of the month. Love the yoke
We had a 3 and a 7 seater Y- with fsd transfer, traded in our 3 for a plaid X. If your going to get 6 seats anyways, consider the plaid. The X is definitely larger and more comfortable than our Y. While our Y has served us well with the 7 seats, getting back there takes some gymnastics. The frunk and trunk are much larger in the X and the falcon wing doors are a must (ok - really really nice to have) if you have kids in getting them in and out. Also love the fact that I can control the back screen from the front when in park. Sound system is great. Only thing I’ve disliked this far is the self presenting doors. Always opens when I walk pass - and sometimes it won’t close so had to turn that feature odd. Acceleration is great as expected but haven’t had a chance to really launch it yet. Some things to consider is that it will eat up the rear tire’s quickly due to the camber - I’ve ordered some aftermarket adjustments to lessen the camber to avoid having to replace the rear tires due to uneven wear.
The fronts will wear hard too FYI. What aftermarket part did you put on to reduce the camber? I've chewed up one set of tires in my 2020 performance after 25k miles, but it was all on the inside edge, the rest of the tread was fine.
I’d also be interested to know as well as I am picking up a LRMX tomorrow with 20” wheels. I don’t plan on launching it much though. Ideally I’d like to not have to get new tires every 20k miles
@@jonathansage2147 - I ordered the macsboost for the 2021+ refreshed S/X (palladium) which should arrive in a couple of days - believe the are shims so much cheaper than full camber arms that are available from macsboost or unplugged performance
I just love driving our MXP. Drove SF to LA twice and still want to drive it 😅. Bought ours same time between price drops but with 6 seats for $3500 more got the Plaid. Love the yoke because you can hang your hands on it. You have to practice using turn signals. We upgraded from 2018 M3 because it’s noisy and the X feels twice as good. Falcon doors are awesome just needs coordinated announces opening and closing. We keep cars over 100k and way after warranty so fyi we found out one headlight is $2400 😳. No other issues except range is 70% but charging is pleasant. Looking into rear camber arms.
@@BeardedTeslaGuyappreciate the response. Are the 22s more prone to have issues and blow outs? The other day at the Tesla center while discussing tire options, the staff mentioned the issues have shifted from falcon doors to the 22s.
What do I do? I have a 2023 X with none of the issues you've mentioned on your X. And that's my point, your issues and constant complaining is about your vehicle, not every X that is produced. I would suggest at this point you request a buyback. The fit and finish on mine is flawless, wing doors lock and load without any issues, no squeaks in the seats. I honestly feel left out of the constant negativity about a vehicle that I feel is one of the finest on the road today. Suggestion, somehow unload your X lemon and keep the Y, and may I say, happy trails to you.
lol, I have NEVER been inside of a Model X that was flawless. This isn't just B*ing and complaining, this is educating people on what to be prepared for so they aren't disappointed. Imagine if I made a fake video praising its perfection. What do you think would happen when the "masses" go to take delivery and there are issues just like this? They'd be pissed and I would have no credibility, kind of like you with your statement. I dont think you are lying about your car being flawless,i have just never seen one before, and even you suggest you feel left out of all these people having issues. hint, its not that everyone else is wrong and you alone are right... By the way, and this one is hard for some people to understand, IT IS OK TO BE CRITICAL OF SOMETHING AND LIKE IT...the 2 are not mutually exclusive.
We are looking at the Model X because of the Falcon doors. I am my mothers Caregiver and she is wheelchair bound and I use a lift to get her into our Model Y. It is difficult because I have to watch out with the opening of the car and not hit her head and then once I clear her head her bottom hits the seat so have to raise her a little to get her over the seat. In the Model X the Falcon doors eliminates that problem because I can lift her up high enough to clear the seat and not worry about hitting her head. So I do think it is worth it. It's the only car that makes it so much easier to get her into.
I currently have a 2022 Y that I pretty much paid for almost the same amount that this X is currently at. I don't quality for the rebate but I was thinking of actually trading my Y for the X. I figured if I'm paying this much on my Y, I might as well upgrade and pay pretty much the same thing. I haven't worked out the total numbers yet or the entire process of the trade-in but let me know your thoughts if this is even a good idea.
What does that do for Gap Insurance. I think my credit union said they would only cover like 30% negative equity when we totaled our MY last year. We are planning to get an X for Christmas. Of our M3 and MY will hold. Only Tesla people ❤
We dont have anything like that on the bill. The only other line item is a $16 connect fee, which may be what you are talking about, but I have to pay that flat fee with or without an EV so it's irrelevant.
Do you think there is going to be a new model X at the end of 2023? I am thinking of getting a model X Plaid with the new price drop but am really troubled with the idea of getting one and after a few months there will be a new model.
More likely to cancel the X and S than come out with a new version. It’s an ever shrinking part of their business and nothing but a hassle for them, especially with the much lower profits with huge price cuts.
They won't have a new model any time soon, they just got the HW4 refresh. The focus will be to start model 3 refresh in the US and ramp up Cyber truck.
Me, personally, I would stay with the X. My son has a Y, and it’s great. But the new X has better suspension, two screens, better sound system, more range, faster Supercharging, more interior room, and vented seats.
Model Y is still the best overall EV on the road today, so yes, in a heart beat and it is still my preferred car when I need to go somewhere. I usually drive the Y.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I actually need the additional carrying capacity of the X from time to time. I have the 5 seater, and I like being able to fold down the rear seats to have a large flat cargo area. But then, when I have something extra tall to carry, it’s also nice to be able to remove the false floor! I don’t think that can be done in the Y.
I’ve owned 3 Y’s have friends that have S and X all different experiences pro and cons with all. But the Y wins it for me. The model 3 is to low I feel like I’m sitting in a corvette not a fan. Love the speed of the 3.
A friend bought the MX soon after its first version was released and he still enjoys it. I don't know his repair experience but those early ones may have had more than today's issues. I decided on the MY and received it in March 2022 and it has performed very well. With the all season Michelin tires, it has handled Colorado winters, torrential rain, high winds and summer heat absolutely flawlessly. I don't need the extra room in the MX and am also glad I skipped the falcon doors for their complexity. I would not choose the MX even with today's HW4 as I still don't need those extra features. The cost is still not worth the issues to my mind so overall, if I were to trade in the MY, I would choose the refreshed MY once it is released especially with HW4 once it has matured a couple years.
Have you looked into seat covers that would work with the 2023 Model X so they don't interfere with the cooling and heating. Can you set the suspension so it stays on one setting.I agree with you about the horn on the steering wheel. Don't know why they did that. The signals are a little awkward but got used to it pretty quickly. After I noticed there was a little lifted line between the signals it was easier to tap the correct direction.
Wow, that consumption is high. I have a 2022 Model X Plaid and I average 271 wh/mile over 22k miles and that includes over 20 drag strip 9 second runs.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I drive a lot early morning (probably 70% of my miles) and I just run the fan, not the AC. That saves a lot of electrons.. My commute usually averages 240 wh/mile as traffic is often backed up and without AC, that means I'm running super efficient.. On a 80 mph road trip with AC, I get 350 - 370 wh/mile but I don't do a lot of road trips. I do 1 pedal driving as well. No need to drive aggressive in day to day driving. Aggressive only when I'm racing down in Mexico 😀or at the track.
With the desperation pants-dropping price reductions, Model S and X production has become the lowest priority for Tesla. You will feel like a second class citizen when you go for service. They make their current money on 3 and Y and the future money is going to be Cybertruck. As an X and S owner, you are like an ex-employee that was pushed out of a big company after being a loyal and hard working employee because they deemed you too old to still be useful and worth your salary.
because they sold out their remaining production capacity for the quarter. Demand is higher than they can produce so delivery estimates get pushed out.
I think this could be the best price to get it. Now, they might have the 2024 models in the future. Problem is not able to add option and get the 7500 credit :(. I will wait until the last week of this quarter and see if they will drop even more. Plus referral program cut to 500 bucks
always possible, but know that the Model X, surprisingly, is the only Tesla with an extended lead time right now. So demand is pretty high for production.
I'm in the market for a Model X and while the Long Range is plenty for my needs, at $79k it's still a leap because I'm sick of car payments and would pay cash. I'm glad you haven't had that many issues overall and I'm looking to spec our Model X the same way you've had yours built to. Great video Justin! Appreciate it.
@@a.ctlyzer, Ironically, we’ve had our gently used 2023 Model X Plaid with 2,300 miles, Ultra Red Paint with white interior, a yoke and FSD for exactly a week. $97k .
ICE cars don't average the official mileage estimate in reality due to severe losses when braking, idling, coasting, idling, on start-up, etc. You can accurately compare if you follow the same procedure; i.e. total actual cost of gas divided by actual miles driven compared against cost of electrical power divided by miles driven. Big difference.
I have 2014 s 85 free supercharger for life Tesla just texted me that i can transfer it to any new car. As long as the new car is under my name ill have free supercharger. You think i should get the X?
Planning, planning, planning..... Just ordered my MX. This will be my 4th EV in the garage. First was a CODA, then a Model 3 and a Bimmer i3, the MX will be next. Do I expect the MX as trouble-free as the first 3? Absolutely not! I know there will be more trips to the service center. That is price to pay when an wife and I want a big, comfortable, and luxury EV for travel (we are both retired). Electricity cost for us? Zero! We installed oversized solar panels on our roof big enough to support TWO EV's - my son's Model 3 and my Bimmer i3. Now he runs away with his new wife, my monthly electricity bill is negative. I don't expect that to change with the MX. What electricity cost?
I was not an EV fan until my daughter got a Tesla. That thing is amazing. It's just a whole different experience. We drove through fast, heavy traffic last night. She set the destination and turned on the auto pilot. The car weaved it's way through traffic, took the right exit, got us there with a lot less stress than usual. I'm in love.
seriously, if I gave someone a Model Y and a charger in their garage for a month, they wouldn't give it back
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Guess what. I'm giving my 2007 Honda Pilot to my college-bound grandson and buying a Model Y. I drove it today and now I'll never be happy again until I get my new car.
I’m assuming you r 65+
Our 2019 100D (Pre Raven) has been amazing for past 4 yrs, put 50k on it. Just needed a 12V after 44months (warranty) and tires around 45k, otherwise has been SOLID! Now just need to sell it.
Squeezed in a $79,990 “Tax Edition” Model X right before end of 2023. So far the 2023 has been awesome, none of the issues you described. Great video!
Thank you for being honest and providing us with a real non sugar coated review.
of course!

We have a 2022 Model X Plaid and have a little over 29k miles on it (Took delivery on September of 2022). Home is off grid (100% solar) we have saved literally thousands on gas. So far after 1.5 years of ownership we have saved tons of cash in comparison. Have had Tesla EVs for 5 years and have a total savings of over $35k in saving for gas between the two (based on how much we drive it). Fortunately, have not had any issues with any of the teslas in the past 5 years and battery degradation has been miraculously 0 for both cars... Model 3 had some paint issues (Which tesla fixed), Y was perfect (no issues at all) and the Model X we had was just a falcon wing door alignment but that's it. Most maintenance we have had so far has just been Tires.
I traded my X to take advantage of transferring FSD to the new car. Love the new X! It Supercharges unbelievably fast! Just finished a 2000 mile road trip, and it worked great!
Pro tip: when I traded, I configured my new X, got a price, but then checked to see if there were any “inventory” cars available. And there was! I was able to find one with EXACTLY the configuration I wanted (color, wheels, 5 seats, round steering wheel) for $10,000 less than ordering one, plus it was available immediately!
Does the inventory car needs to be in the same state as you? Or would they transfer the car to your Tesla service center?
was this after the price drop?
@@Trust_but_Verify I don’t know if they would ship the car. I was lucky that mine just happened to be local. Way back in 2013, when I bought my first Tesla, they did ship the car from out of State.
@@RudyBloor This was right after the Earnings Call in August. They announced the most recent price drop after I had taken delivery. But, the principle still applies: always check to see if there is an Inventory car available for a lower price and/or quicker delivery. Mine was brand new: 30 miles. I’ve had zero issues.
@@adairmartin thank you for letting me know. ive been toying with the idea of a model X since june and saw some discounts back then. havent seen anything discounted after the drop aside from specs with the ridiculously overpriced 22s
my build is set to be here within a week, so im glad to hear you havent been having issues. hoping its perfect when i get it so i dont have to reject it and miss out on fsd transfer. my 3 had tons of problems and everyone on the internet always talks about problems on the X
I have a 2020 Model X, 7 Seater, Long Range with 22” wheels. I have less problems than I expected. Here are the issues that were fixed - all under warranty: 1) MCU SD card failed twice, preventing software updates; 2) Ball joints developed vibration during acceleration; 3) 12v batterie failed twice. I have had zero issues with squeaks nor any issues with Falcon Wing doors. That said, I never open them inside the garage out of an abundance of caution. I didn’t have any debris in my paint but there were swirls which I had removed when I had the car ceramic coated. My biggest complaint is the road noise. It is significant at highway speeds. BTW I am still on original tires. I expect they will need changing at 50k. Would I buy another Model X? Yes, that’s how much I love it.
Yea, I have been relatively trouble free to this point also. Has pleasantly surprised me
I’ve had my model x for 5 yrs now and i’ve had no problem with the falcon wing doors opening into something. I have had no seat squeaks or rattles but i had a bunch of paint defects on the hood which Tesla fixed for me. I have 76000 miles now and when i got mine i received lifetime free supercharging and i also charge at work for free. I have to disagree with the cost of maintenance, i’ve had 0 issues with the falcon wing doors and still don’t need brakes.
the great thing about EV's is the lack of use of the mechanical brakes. The regen braking is really good and means you almost never touch the real brakes on the car.
Have you had any issues with the half shaft issues and the dreaded shudder? What ride height do you keep your X at mostly?
I really appreciate your videos! The camera work and narration are among the best of these types of channels. With the huge price drop, I have ordered a Model X. I've had a M3 and MY (my current car). Each has had a few minor issues. However, they have never compromised the safety of the car or left me stranded. I've had that experience with new gas powered vehicles! I only would consider a Tesla because of the superior charging experience and the incredible software. I am renting FSD. While expensive, I enjoy the heck out of using it everywhere. Keep up the great work!
very nice to hear, I am glad you are enjoying the content!
You know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Great video. The MX is tempting since the price reduction. My MS driver seat also used to squeak. I bought Lithium Grease off Amzn, removed the head rest, and greased up the back plate all around. Hasn't squeaked since. Also the seat belt latch can rub on the seat, you can put foam or grease between the latch and seat to solve that issue.
I seriously thought about just addressing it myself, but then I decided I want Tesla to fix it, not me.
That was the BEST video! Exactly what I wanted to hear about. Pros, cons, all your details about cost for electricity, etc. Very well thought out and produced!!! Thank you.
So glad to hear! Appreciate you!

Our September 2022 MXLR has had many issues to a point that we submitted a buyback request. Aside from all the issues we had, it is a great car. We love road trips with it. Only thing I would say is, don't expect to have a problem-free Model X.
Yep, its going to come with some "baggage" compared to the good ol' reliable Y/3
People say the same about Mercedes benz
Where you able to get a buyback from Tesla? Was it hard?
@@aleshka4712yes they gave 100% back plus registration renewal. In our case it was fairly easy. Our service records provided enough “evidence”. I have many videos on my channel going through the process. We took delivery of X Plaid to replace it
Tesla is buying back our 2022 Model X Long Range
ua-cam.com/video/0gdxEpKZWeE/v-deo.html
@@setiset516I can attest to that…
Love this Model X Refresh (2022). Quite a few small issues, but quickly solved by the service center. Fantastic for long road trips, especially with FSD. 23K miles now.
Indeed
We got our X the same week you got yours. We are just returning from Road Trip from Pennsylvania to Florida to Pennsylvania. Best Road Trip car ever. As you point out charges quickly, preforms superbly. Very comfortable. None of your issues yet. Best car I’ve ever had. I have a Might as well, like the rest of the world I’m waiting on the cybertruck. The X vs. Y is easy. If you can easily afford to have so much money tied up buy the X. I like to say the Y is 2/3 the car of the X at 1/2 the price. If you get a Y get the speed boost. :)
thats a good way of saying it
We sold our 2017 Model X 100D last year… absolutely loved that car. Bought a Model Y Performance due to the prices of a new Model X. However, while we love the Model Y and it is the best in its segment in terms of price, space and overall package, it is a big downgrade if you have gotten used to all the extras you get in a Model X. Miss the screen in front of the driver, miss the bigger seats, miss the falcon doors (amazing in tight parking spaces with kids or stuff in the back), miss the regular electric doors in the front (I still put my foot on the brake a year later expecting my door to close 😢), and we miss the extra space. We might have to save up for a new Model X in a couple of years, nothing in the electric market beats the overall package you get for that price imo.
May I ask why you sold it?
I’m looking around at used 2016-18 Model X’s since the price gap for newer ones are too much. Should I go ahead and buy one? I currently have a Mazda CX9.
The falcon doors and space is what is attracting me but I heard Teslas battery doesn’t do well in the winter. Just scared of going away from gas.
Hi mate, do you know if it's possible to improve the 0-60 acceleration of a Model X from 3.8 sec down closer to 3 sec?
If so, what would need to be done to it?
Do you think they'll allow 6 seated options to qualify for the federal credit for before the year ends?
maybe? They'd have to either make the 6 seat a free option, or lower the price of the car a lot, or a mixture of both.
I have a 2018 Model X with currently 222,000 relatively problem free miles. I have the 22in wheels, but my tires only had to be replaced at around 70k miles. Never had issues with the Falcon doors. At 190k I had to replace bushings on the front driver side suspension. That's about it. Unfortunately, while on the freeway, a truck's wheel came off and caused a fair amount of damage. Due to the high mileage, my insurance declared the car totalled. I'll be getting another Model x, hopefully that lasts over 200 thousand miles as well. Model x is well worth the money for performance and flexing 😁
We are moving from a '19 Cayenne to a newly ordered MXP. We paid $94k for the Cayenne and will pay the same for the MXP. I chuckled when you talked about service wait times because we waited over a year for our dealer to replace our driver's seat. I have a M3P and while that thing is bullet proof, I'm holding my breath on the X but we are super excited!!
Oh and great video by the way! Your X looks great!!
so awesome, congrats on the FASTEST SUV IN THE WORLD!!!!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy🤪🤪😂
Thanks for your honesty in this video.
Thanks for watching!
Just got my X a couple of weeks ago (also have a Y). No delivery issues (went through everything twice over). Paint is perfect (fortunately). Just returned from ky first road trip with it and absolutely love it. Space is awesome (previously owned a Dodge Durango RT). Plan on keep this X for a long time.
Love my Y as well, but needed the space ... and oooohhh the space it has (I have a 5 seater simply because of the added space/fully folding back seats).
Does the radar in Model X do anything?
Did your X comes with matrix headlight?
@@Trust_but_Verify don’t know about the radar on HW4. There are no parking sensors, that’s totally vision. While it’s getting better, it’s not as good as my old X with HW3. And the self opening front doo still doesn’t open all the way yet.
@@nongbautista yes
sounds about right. This thing is a road trip machine!
I had pre-ordered a Fisker Ocean Extreme and have been waiting on that vehicle for about a year. I had recently gotten the notice that the vehicle was moving to production to be built when I learned that the Model X had been reduced to the point where it qualified for the tax credit. I ended up deciding to forfeit my $1,000 USD deposit in the Fisker and decided to go with the Model X instead because of the insane value that it brings at the reduced price point with the 7.5k tax credit. Your videos helped me make the decision. Thanks for the content!
Beautiful car
Did you buy the MX?
@jillshaub5093 Yes, in hindsight it was the right choice with everything going on with Fisker. Other than some window alignment issues which Tesla already serviced, the car has been awesome.
Wow! You dodged a real bullet there.
Got my Model X in Feb 2024. I was able to transfer FSD and unlimited free supercharging from my model S. I love the X!!!
The only color that is not extra is the stealth grey. You can upgrade to the white interior , and as long as you keep it to the 5 seater version, you still can qualify for the $7,500. The solid black exterior is extra and it shows scratches extremely easily.
Hi, Can you make an updated video about the model X with the Current price? Is it worth it?
Coming soon
No paint issues with my October 2022 Austin made Model Y. However I paid $9,000 more than the current price for the same car.
Changes I would like see in the Model Y will probably be addressed in the Juniper. I would like 430 miles of range though.
over 400 miles range in a Y would be amazing.
Take it to a detailer. They all have something
This is an awesome 6-month rundown! 👍
cheers!
How does the yoke steering handle in snow and ice?
can u tell me which rear entertainment screen is best and easiest to install myself. I just need UA-cam and Netflix for 3 and 5 year old and can it be setup from the front screen thank you
So the either a smaller one or the one that is like a floating screen sticking out a bit. Those both use the existing fan vents in the back, which will prevent you from losing a lot of the ability to direct air in the back.
Enjoy the video. Wondering what are your thoughts now that the Cyber Truck is out and the features it bring would Tesla add those features to the Model X
Thanks
I am sure there are some thoughts on next gen X, but probably so far down the priority list to be honest
Terrific video man!
Good video! Sold my model 3 and buying a new Model S. This time around, I’m leasing. For me it makes more sense because of all the depreciation and new tech that becomes available over time. In 4 years I give it back and it becomes not my problem. 😉
Congrats!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thanks. When I ordered it said “September / October delivery” but the next day they switched it to “October / November”. Going to be a long wait. 😅

Great video. I pulled the trigger on base MX 5 seater ultra red. We will qualify for the tax credit. We did a test drive after booking and it was amazing how this car drives & Tesla technology. Didnt like the yoke steering though. Our current vehicles are Audi Q7 & BMW 3 both are at replacement age. Just fingers crossed on ours interms of body panel gaps, paint issues & FWD alingments. This is our first EV and I have free charging at work. Hope this works out.current EDD is Sept 28-Nov 2nd. Excited.
Such an amazing car to be your first EV!
Why the X? The model y makes more sense for 20 k less
I am holding off until Jan to order an X, hoping they drop the price to move some during 1st quarter.
Always possible

@@a.ctlyzerI'm intrigued do tell?
Yeah... once they change the model X in 2025 the older ones will be heavily discounted just all the model y. They're practically giving those cars away 😂😂😂😂
I rented a model X plaid on turo for a road trip. I loved the experience however hearing the falcon wing doors squeaking and rattling every time you go over a bump seems like a big miss. And the driver display would randomly just shut off for no reason and there was nothing you could do to get it back on other than hope. At these price points they need to sort these things out.
Good review. I love my new X. I bought mine 3 weeks before the drop. In regards to the horn don't forget if you are in a hurry all you have to do is grab a hold of the right horizontal wing of the the yoke and the horn will honk.
And half the time, you’ll also scare the other drivers with your wipers flapping on a dry day 😂
good tip
I’ve owned a Model S (leased) which I gave back for a Model X (pre-Raven) in 2018. I love my Tesla, but I wouldn’t do the Model X again simply because of the gull wing doors. They are cool and they get attention, but they are also a real pain. I’ve lived in Tampa, Orlando, and Nashville and while I’m not comparing Apples to Apples the Orlando Service Center is hands down the worst service center I’ve been to from a customer perspective.
I’ve had a lot of issues with my Model X from delivery paint issues to wrong configuration. I’ve been locked out of the vehicle twice because the 12 v battery died with no warning. I had the HV battery fail and needed replacement in the middle of the pandemic which took 3 months. It also took more effort than it should have to get Tesla to make it right.
All that said though I’d still pick a Tesla every day of the week. The service side needs work, but in some centers you would never know this is an issue such as Nashville (at least in my experience). If you are in Orlando it is a huge issue. They can fix those things though and I view them as a temporary inconvenience. I do worry about all these companies adopting the Tesla chargers and Superchargers getting congested, but that really doesn’t affect me too much since 90% of my charging is at home.
But as I said, I can’t imagine my next car not being a Tesla.
Did your lease on the Model S expire or did you break the lease early?
Thank you for the video. Just ordered one for myself.
congrats!
I have pretty much the exact Model X and I picked it up on 3/31/23, WOW. The only real difference is I have the 5 seat version, which I wanted because I have even more trunk room and leg room in back seat. So I can carry 4 golfers and bags very easy. I also don’t have any rattles or other issues with strange warnings. I did just notice that a front sensor is missing, and the trim on front passenger side wheel has come loose, but that is probably from car wash or something like that. Service is very fast where I live and didn’t even have to wait a week.
PS. I love the yoke. It is way more comfortable, especially on long highway drives, and I used to ride a motorcycle so the turn signal buttons were easy for me to get used to. I do struggle with the horn button as you do, but other than that I love the yoke and no stalks….
Nice congrats
Thank you for your honest opinion. Your video convinced me not to get 1. It is not worth the hassle and money even though it's a great deal compared to 2 weeks ago. Even with a tax rebate, it is still an expensive car. I always felt Falcon wings felt gimmicky with a cool-looking factor. It's a great door in concept if it works.
no right or wrong answer on this one. Good to always make an educated decision and move forward with it
You know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
This is very helpful. We are currently debating this decision right now 😬
just do it already...justify it by saying to yourself you can make some new fresh videos on it.
Did they fix the Camera issue when getting into the car, i have that same issue on my 2023 MYP.. Also happens on autopilot at night.. different warnings about the cameras.. but doesn't do it on FSD..
The Y P is quiet without squeaks. Great handling. Easier to drive park and garage. Good room and practicality. I also have an X. For up to 4 passengers Y is fine-rear seat backs recline.
X- better ride and room. ventilated seats. more premium.
Yep
how is the road noise compared from the Y to the X? I feel like I can hear everything in my Y.
X is for sure quieter than the Y
Rear tires won't last 20k miles. You must buy $2K adjustable camber arms and pay $? for installation and alignment. Does fix the problem.
Hey, I had an aftermarket turn signal stalk system on my Jeep, might that be an option from somebody on stalk-less Teslas?
I am sure some company will introduce that, they've already have aftermarket dash for Model 3/Y.
Pretty sure S3XY buttons is working on one right now!
Would love to see a comparison between this and the Rivian R1S.
shhhh....coming soon!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy woohoo!
What happened when start raining if you open back door ?????
A selling point for me is the speedometer. The removal of the signal stalks ( and other buttons we are all used to) represents a no go, as much as the yolk did. Can only imagine the time Hertz has spent teaching people to operate these cars just to get them out of the lot. Sure I can learn, and I may be able to teach my wife, but as a senior, .... why? Do not have the interest, spent all my energy over the years figuring out DOS and dip switch settings and generations of printer and video and phone charging cables. Progress I had no choice but to follow. But, I can still get an EV I can get into that have the controls that have worked well for many decades (while trying to remember not to put gas in it). Difference for the sake of being different is a sales gimmick that probably best works on the young. Big Tesla fan for all the other reasons though.
I'm on the fence right now. Took a Model X home for the weekend to try it out. Overall, I LOVED IT!!!! But, the drivers side falcon door wouldn't close all the way, (had to close it from the display in the drivers seat) and there was a rattle in the back seat. Of course I'm thankful for the price reductions, but I'm nervous about spending this much and being disappointed. Your review was really good. Thank you. I was very concerned about what you said regarding the paint. What did Tesla do for you?
They didn't do anything for me on the paint. My option was to leave it as it is or have it repainted. I am not going to go down a route that includes repainting anything
Do you know if tesla offers an acceleration boost for the model X as they do for the 3 and Y? Just thinking it's a little way to get closer to plaid speeds without the higher price tag.
First and ONLY honest and really valuable review of TMX!!!

@@BeardedTeslaGuy I mean it.

My 2021 Model 3 LR had both its front seats squeaked horribly. The passenger one ended up being replaced as it was broken from the factory and the drivers seat was fixed in service appointments, but it took 3 appointments to get fixed. Nothing is more frustrating than a squeaky seat!
I can't stand squeaks and rattles in cars...
liked the honest review one of your better videos
thanks a bunch!
coming from a model y i dont think i can get used to the large window...i can see the reflection on the street lines in the side of the windshield and the tint seems to cross too low on the windshield...
Thanks so much for this video. I finally to possession of my MX Plaid. It is an amazing machine. I haven’t had any of these issues. And fingers crossed I do not. But thanks so much for being honest and showing the good the bad and the ugly. Very informative.
Big question, is additional $ for X really worth it versus the Y. I’m a taller person and X feels more comfortable, but the Y would work. Just hard swallowing the extra $. If that gap narrows even more, than I’d go X
Y vs X video is coming soon!
As a 5+ year Model 3 driver, YES! 100%
I'm 6' 2" (215lbs) and was blown away by my new X test drive and ordered on on 9/4 after test driving some competition including the Y, Cadillac Lyriq, Fisker Ocean and Polestar 2.
Are you going to go back to MYLR after having several issues with your Model X?
I still have my Model Y, and have no plans to get rid of it. Still my favorite Tesla.
Also noticed model Y hatch will open right into your garage door.
it will if you dont set the height. To do so, open the hatch and stop it, then manually open it to the desired height. Press and hold the open button until you hear a beep. Now your hatch will open at that height every time.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy best solution is purchase X3
I test drove a model x and was really annoyed by the gears now being on the screen. Is there a way to control them in the steering wheel?
I only did well with my first Tesla's 2013 S P85. I found a buyer and got most my list price back after 2 years. Every other one had huge depreciation.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Does 3 row leg room is same as Model Y?
Planning to upgrade to X but my main question is about 3 Rd row sitting. By paying 90k we should be getting enough leg room than Model Y 7 seater
How could you have avoided the wing does hitting your roof?
I am so lusting after model X now....been doing that for 6 months now. We are driving a 2021 model Y so it isn't so bad but....those falcon doors!!!!!
these things are pretty sweet but the Y is still the best overall EV today.
Don't test drive an X then!... I did and bought one days later as a 5+ year Model 3 owner (two different trims) :)
You know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
I loved this video, especially with the comparison between the Model X and comparable ICE vehicle in size. One factor you didn't cover is that the Audi Q7 would've traveled 9,000 miles a lot faster, with a lot less headache, getting a real 550 miles of range and taking 10 minutes to fill up.
But remember that’s 10 minutes to fill up every time. The Tesla only takes you waiting when you are road tripping. I plug in the garage, never go to the gas station to fill ip
Bought my X 7 seat, 22s, 2 weeks before the price drop. A $10k drop for me. Hurts but damn the vehicle is great. Even after my service appointment issues being fixed. Added all around tint this week. Wrap coming at the end of the month. Love the yoke
Nice, still waiting on tint over here
6-7 more years. It will depreciate another 40-50k in value.
We had a 3 and a 7 seater Y- with fsd transfer, traded in our 3 for a plaid X. If your going to get 6 seats anyways, consider the plaid. The X is definitely larger and more comfortable than our Y. While our Y has served us well with the 7 seats, getting back there takes some gymnastics. The frunk and trunk are much larger in the X and the falcon wing doors are a must (ok - really really nice to have) if you have kids in getting them in and out. Also love the fact that I can control the back screen from the front when in park. Sound system is great. Only thing I’ve disliked this far is the self presenting doors. Always opens when I walk pass - and sometimes it won’t close so had to turn that feature odd. Acceleration is great as expected but haven’t had a chance to really launch it yet. Some things to consider is that it will eat up the rear tire’s quickly due to the camber - I’ve ordered some aftermarket adjustments to lessen the camber to avoid having to replace the rear tires due to uneven wear.
The fronts will wear hard too FYI. What aftermarket part did you put on to reduce the camber? I've chewed up one set of tires in my 2020 performance after 25k miles, but it was all on the inside edge, the rest of the tread was fine.
I’d also be interested to know as well as I am picking up a LRMX tomorrow with 20” wheels. I don’t plan on launching it much though. Ideally I’d like to not have to get new tires every 20k miles
The Model X, without its funky issues (and falcon doors just in my opinion) is an AMAZING family car!
@@jonathansage2147 - I ordered the macsboost for the 2021+ refreshed S/X (palladium) which should arrive in a couple of days - believe the are shims so much cheaper than full camber arms that are available from macsboost or unplugged performance
MXP for me with 20 inch wheels. Hopefully I can do a square set up
Great video and review. Worth the $ for sure at 79K for those who want the X!

First, honest review. Thanks man.
Cheers
I just love driving our MXP. Drove SF to LA twice and still want to drive it 😅.
Bought ours same time between price drops but with 6 seats for $3500 more got the Plaid. Love the yoke because you can hang your hands on it. You have to practice using turn signals. We upgraded from 2018 M3 because it’s noisy and the X feels twice as good. Falcon doors are awesome just needs coordinated announces opening and closing. We keep cars over 100k and way after warranty so fyi we found out one headlight is $2400 😳. No other issues except range is 70% but charging is pleasant. Looking into rear camber arms.
Its such a great riding car truly

20 vs 22 inch wheels….what’s the real world difference in the range? Is the range on the 22s really bad or is it only 13 miles as advertised?
Not that much difference real world
@@BeardedTeslaGuyappreciate the response.
Are the 22s more prone to have issues and blow outs?
The other day at the Tesla center while discussing tire options, the staff mentioned the issues have shifted from falcon doors to the 22s.
What do I do? I have a 2023 X with none of the issues you've mentioned on your X. And that's my point, your issues and constant complaining is about your vehicle, not every X that is produced. I would suggest at this point you request a buyback. The fit and finish on mine is flawless, wing doors lock and load without any issues, no squeaks in the seats. I honestly feel left out of the constant negativity about a vehicle that I feel is one of the finest on the road today. Suggestion, somehow unload your X lemon and keep the Y, and may I say, happy trails to you.
lol, I have NEVER been inside of a Model X that was flawless. This isn't just B*ing and complaining, this is educating people on what to be prepared for so they aren't disappointed. Imagine if I made a fake video praising its perfection. What do you think would happen when the "masses" go to take delivery and there are issues just like this? They'd be pissed and I would have no credibility, kind of like you with your statement. I dont think you are lying about your car being flawless,i have just never seen one before, and even you suggest you feel left out of all these people having issues. hint, its not that everyone else is wrong and you alone are right...
By the way, and this one is hard for some people to understand, IT IS OK TO BE CRITICAL OF SOMETHING AND LIKE IT...the 2 are not mutually exclusive.
Bs! Something interior squeaks or creeks when pressed on
We are looking at the Model X because of the Falcon doors. I am my mothers Caregiver and she is wheelchair bound and I use a lift to get her into our Model Y. It is difficult because I have to watch out with the opening of the car and not hit her head and then once I clear her head her bottom hits the seat so have to raise her a little to get her over the seat. In the Model X the Falcon doors eliminates that problem because I can lift her up high enough to clear the seat and not worry about hitting her head. So I do think it is worth it. It's the only car that makes it so much easier to get her into.
I wish there were more mobility Model X's out there because it really is an ideal platform for this.
You can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
@@a.ctlyzer Thank you. Where do you get the ref code?
@@kalanikaluhea5409 I did make a post on it
Sir what do you suggest instead of Tesla model X for sharing ride ..?
I currently have a 2022 Y that I pretty much paid for almost the same amount that this X is currently at. I don't quality for the rebate but I was thinking of actually trading my Y for the X. I figured if I'm paying this much on my Y, I might as well upgrade and pay pretty much the same thing. I haven't worked out the total numbers yet or the entire process of the trade-in but let me know your thoughts if this is even a good idea.
All up to you. I tried to share all the intimate details of X ownership vs a Y.
does your Model X have Hardware 4?
What does that do for Gap Insurance. I think my credit union said they would only cover like 30% negative equity when we totaled our MY last year. We are planning to get an X for Christmas. Of our M3 and MY will hold. Only Tesla people ❤
no clue on Gap coverage because I dont buy it on any of my cars.
Does that $.13/kw include the distribution fee everyone likes to leave out in their calculations?
We dont have anything like that on the bill. The only other line item is a $16 connect fee, which may be what you are talking about, but I have to pay that flat fee with or without an EV so it's irrelevant.
Do you think there is going to be a new model X at the end of 2023? I am thinking of getting a model X Plaid with the new price drop but am really troubled with the idea of getting one and after a few months there will be a new model.
More likely to cancel the X and S than come out with a new version. It’s an ever shrinking part of their business and nothing but a hassle for them, especially with the much lower profits with huge price cuts.
They won't have a new model any time soon, they just got the HW4 refresh. The focus will be to start model 3 refresh in the US and ramp up Cyber truck.
no, there's no work being done on a refresh to the X/S right now, and it takes quite some time to do a redesign.
After owning a Model X would you go to a Model Y?
Me, personally, I would stay with the X. My son has a Y, and it’s great. But the new X has better suspension, two screens, better sound system, more range, faster Supercharging, more interior room, and vented seats.
Model Y is still the best overall EV on the road today, so yes, in a heart beat and it is still my preferred car when I need to go somewhere. I usually drive the Y.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I actually need the additional carrying capacity of the X from time to time. I have the 5 seater, and I like being able to fold down the rear seats to have a large flat cargo area. But then, when I have something extra tall to carry, it’s also nice to be able to remove the false floor! I don’t think that can be done in the Y.
I’ve owned 3 Y’s have friends that have S and X all different experiences pro and cons with all. But the Y wins it for me. The model 3 is to low I feel like I’m sitting in a corvette not a fan. Love the speed of the 3.
A friend bought the MX soon after its first version was released and he still enjoys it. I don't know his repair experience but those early ones may have had more than today's issues. I decided on the MY and received it in March 2022 and it has performed very well. With the all season Michelin tires, it has handled Colorado winters, torrential rain, high winds and summer heat absolutely flawlessly. I don't need the extra room in the MX and am also glad I skipped the falcon doors for their complexity. I would not choose the MX even with today's HW4 as I still don't need those extra features. The cost is still not worth the issues to my mind so overall, if I were to trade in the MY, I would choose the refreshed MY once it is released especially with HW4 once it has matured a couple years.
Model Y is the best all around EV on the market today

@@a.ctlyzerfor a model y?
@@a.ctlyzer your link still work? How do I get it?
@@v3gas102 yes it does
Does anyone know if Tesla deleted the Key fob from the refresh Model X?
it does not come with a key fob, only the key cards
Superior video. Thanks for your honesty, yet surgical commentary.
Have you looked into seat covers that would work with the 2023 Model X so they don't interfere with the cooling and heating. Can you set the suspension so it stays on one setting.I agree with you about the horn on the steering wheel. Don't know why they did that. The signals are a little awkward but got used to it pretty quickly. After I noticed there was a little lifted line between the signals it was easier to tap the correct direction.
I have not
Wow, that consumption is high. I have a 2022 Model X Plaid and I average 271 wh/mile over 22k miles and that includes over 20 drag strip 9 second runs.
yea, our cars pretty much live on the highway though. My average speed is probably right at the top end of the cars out there for each of them.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I drive a lot early morning (probably 70% of my miles) and I just run the fan, not the AC. That saves a lot of electrons.. My commute usually averages 240 wh/mile as traffic is often backed up and without AC, that means I'm running super efficient.. On a 80 mph road trip with AC, I get 350 - 370 wh/mile but I don't do a lot of road trips. I do 1 pedal driving as well. No need to drive aggressive in day to day driving. Aggressive only when I'm racing down in Mexico 😀or at the track.
Thorough, I had to sub and like.
cheers
no home charging should I do it ?
I struggle with the horn button on my Model S as well. I don't understand the logic in that.
yea, the horn is really a problem.
Were they able to fix all the issues you had with the car ?
Any idea why delivery dates pushed out to Oct/Nov?
With the desperation pants-dropping price reductions, Model S and X production has become the lowest priority for Tesla. You will feel like a second class citizen when you go for service. They make their current money on 3 and Y and the future money is going to be Cybertruck. As an X and S owner, you are like an ex-employee that was pushed out of a big company after being a loyal and hard working employee because they deemed you too old to still be useful and worth your salary.
Normal as demand picks up....
because they sold out their remaining production capacity for the quarter. Demand is higher than they can produce so delivery estimates get pushed out.
How do you like the yoke steering wheel?
Do you think Tesla might actually discontinue the MX in favor of something with more sales volume?? or is there another refresh coming?
not for some time. But eventually, yea I can see either a new Model X or a new name for a replacement vehicle to the X
I think this could be the best price to get it. Now, they might have the 2024 models in the future. Problem is not able to add option and get the 7500 credit :(. I will wait until the last week of this quarter and see if they will drop even more. Plus referral program cut to 500 bucks
always possible, but know that the Model X, surprisingly, is the only Tesla with an extended lead time right now. So demand is pretty high for production.
Did they fix all the issues with your vehicle ?
I'm in the market for a Model X and while the Long Range is plenty for my needs, at $79k it's still a leap because I'm sick of car payments and would pay cash. I'm glad you haven't had that many issues overall and I'm looking to spec our Model X the same way you've had yours built to. Great video Justin! Appreciate it.

@@a.ctlyzer,
Ironically, we’ve had our gently used 2023 Model X Plaid with 2,300 miles, Ultra Red Paint with white interior, a yoke and FSD for exactly a week. $97k .
@@slyguyaction smooth
ICE cars don't average the official mileage estimate in reality due to severe losses when braking, idling, coasting, idling, on start-up, etc. You can accurately compare if you follow the same procedure; i.e. total actual cost of gas divided by actual miles driven compared against cost of electrical power divided by miles driven. Big difference.
I have 2014 s 85 free supercharger for life Tesla just texted me that i can transfer it to any new car. As long as the new car is under my name ill have free supercharger. You think i should get the X?
Planning, planning, planning..... Just ordered my MX. This will be my 4th EV in the garage. First was a CODA, then a Model 3 and a Bimmer i3, the MX will be next. Do I expect the MX as trouble-free as the first 3? Absolutely not! I know there will be more trips to the service center. That is price to pay when an wife and I want a big, comfortable, and luxury EV for travel (we are both retired). Electricity cost for us? Zero! We installed oversized solar panels on our roof big enough to support TWO EV's - my son's Model 3 and my Bimmer i3. Now he runs away with his new wife, my monthly electricity bill is negative. I don't expect that to change with the MX. What electricity cost?
Woohoo, Congrats!
