- Today I woke up and found that it had snowed over night. So I decided to make a video on how my 2022 Tesla Model X handles it. I also compared the Tesla Model X and Tesla Model Y front drivers windows to determine if either have double paned glass. I hope you enjoy!

WOW! So glad I no longer need to drive in snow, but thanks for another great vide demonstration of how the Model X handles in snow! Glad to see there was very little slippage. 👍
Lucky you. I hope at some point I can live somewhere warm. I’m not a big fan of the snow. And I hate the cold! Thanks for watching!
Hey Man having lots of fun with your videos from Germany. We are waiting for our Model X unfortunately it will arrive only in the 2nd half of 2022. In the meantime we enjoy with your footage. Please keep us posted with the home link topic
Hello to you in Germany! The X is worth the wait. Thanks so much for the positive feed back and for watching! I'll keep posting!
Great video. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks you for the compliment and for watching! Ill keep posting of you keep watching. :-)
Great video, hope you keep it up.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I’ll keep posting!
Good video!
thanks very much
Thank you for watching!
I just heard from you the Model X Plaid. It's so awesome. Nice video. Keep it up
Tesla Plaid is supposed be a beast. Thank you for the comment!
Thanks for answering the question related to double paint(glass)
Im glad I could help you. Hopefully if anyone else was wondering there the answer! Thanks so much for watching!
What do you think about the speaker system?
I live in Sweden so this winter test is perfect 👍 Keep up the good work !!!
Hello to you in Sweden! Ive always wanted to visit. The audio system in the X is as good or better than any car Ive ever owned. I wish I could play a sample for you but the camera audio doesn't do it justice. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
Great Video!! I'm on track to get my Model X Plaid in Feb..I wonder how the 22" wheels and tires will do in the snow. I'll probably not get to experience that here in Charlotte NC, we never get snow! Also my daily vehicle is a 4runner!
Thanks for the awesome compliment! The further you are from the snow the better. In my opinion. I don't know when you watch my videos if you ever noticed a 4 runner in the background. Thats also mine. Purchased new in 2003 and still kicking. I have to park it on the side now because we don't have enough room in garage. That car will run forever if you take care of it. Thanks for watching and good luck with plaid!
I have to say, you had great results with all-weather tires. Imagine if you had WINTER tires with a siped tread! Where I live in North Idaho, I would definitely go with winter tires on a Model X, which I hope to get. All-weather tires were described to me like a pair of sneakers - a compromise for everything. Sneakers are not as good as snow boots in the winter, and they are not as good as a pair of sandals at the beach in the summer. I would go with summer tires and winter tires. But your demo of the handling in snow was terrific! Thanks for your video.
Very true. Im very surprised at how well the Model Y handled the snow with the low profile summer tires. Not as well as the X but still pretty good. Thanks for watching!
Do a content about range loss in cold weather!
You’d be helping alot of people who are living up north
Ill have to do some research before I tackle that one but ill try. Thanks for watching!
+1 from Sweden
Great video thank you! My X has pirelli tires, did you request for the ones you currently have when you bought the X? Those potholes would have killed my tires, glad you made it through.
Thanks for the great compliment. The tires are stock tires. I think they're Michelin but Id have to check,
Excellent video! Out of curiosity, have you tried the autopilot mode yet? The auto lane change feature doesn’t seem to work for me despite having the FSD package.
I haven't but I'm planning on attempting to do a video on that exact subject. Thanks for the positive comment and for watching!
Could you do cabin noise analysis versus your Model Y? I have a 2020 MXLR+ and it's noisy on the highways. Wondering if the 2022 is much better due to ANC and thicker glass
Yes Im working on that video. I can tell you without using a sound meter and just daily driving in the X it is much quieter than the Y. Ill post that video soon. Thanks for watching!
Dude gotta put it in off road mode for snow. Works like a charm.
Holy cow! You're right! I didn't think that one out too well. I woke up and saw the snow and ran out to do the video. If we get some more snow ill do that again with off road mode. Thanks so much for that great pointer and thanks for watching!
This must be a newer Tesla thing . My 2017 does not have a off-road mode that I can find.
Hi there mate, love your videos about the x. I'm torn between the x long range and the s long range. I want to go on many long road trips.
Could you do a video on all things to do with the falcon doors in the real world. Many thanks
Greetings! As soon as the weather struts to cooperate a little I'll make another video. I do have a video in the channel that shows what's happens when you open the falcon wing during a snow storm. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Thanks for the video. Can you do the model y in the snow? I am getting mine in a few weeks and we live in the same area.
You read my mind! Ill be posting that video REALLY soon! Thanks for the suggestion and the comment!
Another Great video! About to change my order from S to X after seeing this and living in the Northeast- Do you have a referral code? The S is much better looking vehicle though.. 🙂
They're beautiful cars. I really like sitting higher X and the extra room. Plus those dog gone falcon wing doors! They're awesome to see operate. The weather up here can be brutal but if you decide to get the S some good snow tires can handle anything.Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!
Snow? Here in Western Australia my Tesla 3 air con is on full cold as outside it is 35C.
Im jealous! We can use some of that heat here. I hope you're enjoying your Model 3 and thanks for watching!
How do you see the control & reliability over Model Y? I'm still in dilemma between Y & X, living in Toronto, Canada area.
I’m not sure about the reliability yet since I’ve only had it a short time. I am really enjoying driving it. The falcon wing doors are the coolest feature. You can’t go wrong with either choice. It might depend on how much interior space you need. Thanks for the great question and thanks for watching!
noisy wipers, hope they fix this till im getting mine in june 🤓 hoping for higher suspensions too and 4680 if possible
Quieter wipers are always better. You've got a big wish list. Hope you get it. :-)
Thank for watching!
So to answer question you had in your video, four-wheel-drive is usually in reference to dumb systems that just split the power evenly across four wheels, sometimes they have an open differential, sometimes a closed, especially depending on how old you’re talking about it’s of very vague and can encompass a lot of things, but if you see 4 Wheel Dr. it’s never an intelligent system. All-wheel-drive is intelligent systems that specifically give you power to the wheels that have traction, some do it better than others, but they all usually have some component of intelligence system that can individually control how much power each wheel is getting. Tesla uses an open differential with torque vectoring using the brakes, so if the left wheel is spinning then it’ll close the brakes on that side so that will stop spinning and the differential sends power to the right wheel. That’s an oversimplification but a pretty good basic explanation of how it works.
Thats an awesome explanation! Thanks for that. I didn't realize what separated the two.
Thank you great video I am very close to trade my model Y.
Im with you. I might do the same soon. Thanks for watching!
The MODEL X 2022 installed the 4680 battery? THANKS!
If thats the newest battery then yes. It can use the v3 super chargers. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Model Y could totally handle this snow. I drove my Model Y SR out today as well and handled it without issue.
I have something Im working on as I type this. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
same took mine to the snow last week and I was surprised how well it did for rwd only. Still can't wait for my MX to arrive its over a year wait o_o.
@@albertoleon4754 This wait times for new Model X's is out of control. I hope you get it soon!
Awd moves power to a tire if it slips and adjust power to all 4 tires especially in the rain, compare to 4wd it just sends all its power to all 4 tires
You are correct! I asked a friend of mine who knows more about the mechanics of cars than I do and he said exactly what you just stated. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I can’t wait to get mine on Feb, already pushed a month by Tesla- booked in June. When did you book yours?
Tesla did that exact same thing to me. They pushed me a year back. Worth the wait tho. Thanks for the comment!
They called me a day before New Years Eve to pick mine up but I was out of town. I ordered in June. They had to remove the vin from my order and put me back in the queue. I don’t get back until January 11th so hopefully I can get mine shortly after. Thanks for the awesome videos
@@jonathannguyen3620 Awe thats terrible. Im hopeful that as soon as you get back they'll have a fresh VIN for you. Thanks for watching and Ill keep posting! Safe travels.
@@jonathannguyen3620 What part or US are you in, also did you pay/finance before they called?
@@VikasChaudhary1 in Northern California. I wanted to ensure that there were no delays so I did all the financial stuff in November. Also have a trade in as well. A 2015 lexus nx200t. Was also approved online with Wells Fargo for 2.49
Did the home link come with the model X or you have to purchase it separately?
The Home Link came with the Model X but not the Model Y. Its an additional $300 for the Model Y and you have to have the Tesla service center or mobile service install it in your Tesla. Thanks for watching!
Also, the model X is over 1500 pounds more than the Y. People have driven the model y performance in snow up to 6 inches, but I would recommend winter tires if you drive it in a lot of snow
Good point. I didn't think about the weight difference. I concur the winter tires. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I always fold mirrors first …. Easy on the 2017, physical button
I have to get better at folding the mirrors.
@@teslaownersperspective1968 you can set it to fold at location. Btw I did hit my mirrors once,it’s $1100 fix :(
@@offeraviad Ouch! Ill be folding those mirrors even time I park in the garage, park, on the street etc...lol
All cars built after July, 2021 have double pane windows on the front 2 doors only. Also, your model y being the performance addition have summer tires.
I didn't know that about the windows. I did know that my Performance has summer tires.
@@teslaownersperspective1968 yes, they are summer staggered tires with 275 in the back and 255 in the front. They are sticky tires for performance. But as I said, the one’s coming now, in the last couple of weeks, comes with all season Michelins, instead of the pirrellis
@@tmorcos21 I knew they were staggered because I wasn't able to rotate them. Good point.
@@teslaownersperspective1968 you can rotate the tires from right to left, that’s all
@@tmorcos21 Ya that what I did. Tires are still holding up!
Battery consumption high in cold ?
Hi Keelo. Battery range isn't great in cold windy weather conditions. The percentage drops quick.
Any luck on all weather mat search?
Nope. I searched again yesterday. Tesmania's website says coming soon. Weather techs search engine doesn't go beyond 2021. The mats that came with the X are terrible. Especially with snow. Ill check daily till I find some.
2:24 I can never say rear wheel either lol
HA! Its a tongue twister.
I have another question for you, now that you have driven your X in lots of snow. I am seriously considering the Model X because I need an all-wheel-drive vehicle and I want an EV (and a Tesla with FSD). BUT... we live in North Idaho, lots of snow, and we have a house that has a LONG and STEEP driveway. Sometimes even after using a snowblower the driveway ices up and can be TOO SLICK for most vehicles to drive on. The slope of our driveway is like a steep street in San Francisco. So what do you think?? Do you think a Model X with hard-core dedicated winter tires (like Nokian Hakapelitta R3) and all-wheel drive could handle our long steep driveway without slipping and going into pinball mode, sliding down sideways and banging into walls on either side? If you ever make a video of your Model X in the snow on a VERY STEEP road, I would sure like to see it!!! Thanks again!
That a good question. What you're describing sounds like something not too many vehicles can handle. If driving in what's depicted in the video is near what you have to deal with then yes it can handle. I have not driven the X in any steep roads covered in ice. We might be getting snow again this weekend. If we do I'll look around and try to find something more compatible with what you're dealing. Hopefully that answers your question.
@@teslaownersperspective1968 - Thanks so much! I’ll be watching! Hopefully you have some steep roads around there!
@@flyshacker I'll do my best. :-)
It is ALL about the tires. Way less to do with the car. Put some winter tires on that thing and it is night and day difference.
Yeah
Those tires should improve winter and rain driving. Thanks for watching!
Could you please show the key in the next video
I demonstrated it a different video. Maybe Ill do an update video.
How is the active noise cancellation?
I don't even hear the noise cancelling. The I received the noise cancelling update and it simply stated that I didn't have to do anything. The noise cancelling speakers would engage when necessary. Im going to do a cabin sound test when the snow lets up. Thanks for watching!
@@teslaownersperspective1968 Mercedes’ has had noise cancellation in their s class and maybach for years now, can you try it and compare with Tesla!? Please. Many other cars like Honda/Acura have it too
@@alanmay7929 I had never heard of noise cancelling in a car till I saw that the X received the update with the noise . canceling. IIf can get my hands on a MercedesI Ill do a comparison. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
model s/x are permanent AWD,
model 3/Y are RWD most the time, unless slip or hard acceleration
Ok that a good to know. Thanks!
i don’t think it’s safe hanging a flammable flag above the electric sockets. nice as it is 💪🇺🇸 keep making these cool videos thanks 🙏
You're right. Safety first!
Thanks for watching!
Nice flag in the garage!
Thank You!
Is there a way to disable traction control in the Model X so you can do donuts in the snow? Lol!
Hmmmmm....I don't know that one. If I get a chance tonight Ill go take a look. Thats a great question. Thanks for watching!
Cool Thanks!
@@fees75 Absolutely!
Unfortunately I haven't been able to do it in two years if owning mine and I've REALLY tried. Without track mode like the model 3 performance with track mode I doubt it's possible. It actually cuts the power through the four wheels independently. No donughts possible.
@@M4532v I haven't had a chance today to try that but I will try it and post it. Thanks for the comment!
FYI, the new Model T performance are coming with Michelin all weather tires
Even the Performance model Y?
@@teslaownersperspective1968 yes. You can buy them from Tesla. I am thinking that when I replace my tires, I will put 295’s in the back and 275’’s in the front. This will also help in preventing the rims from being exposed. Right now the tires are stretched out on the wheels as you can see
@@tmorcos21 Never would've that of that. Im not too savy when it comes to all the ins and outs.
@@teslaownersperspective1968 No problem. I am a Tesla investor and I just try to keep up with all the latest updates. Did you see how Tesla kicked butt in sales for the last quarter. They outsold expectations by over 40000 cars
You should warm the car up before you start videos.
Using the app takes only a few minutes even in the cold to condition vehicle. And the app will tell you when it’s at temp.
One of the great things about a Tesla is I don’t have to wear a coat in the vehicle anymore.
I literally walk up to car and remove my coat before I get in. And I use a parking lot.
The app is one of the best things about a Tesla.
You're right. I was just in a hurry to start recording the video before neighbors cars started to disturb the snow. Ive done that with my Model Y in the past. Its a great feature. Great comment. Thanks!
I kind of disagree about your comment regarding SUVs, especially when it comes to Tesla, if you don’t need the vertical cabin space or extra seating, there’s really no reason to get a model X over S, they both literally have identical drivetrains and ride heights, The same goes for most vehicles nowadays. Snow performance is pretty good, as long as cars have good enough ground clearance, which luxury vehicles with air suspension are always great with. Personally I drive a model three and while I was worried about snow performance and thought about getting a model Y, I would be getting a significant range hit and acceleration hit, plus I really didn’t need the extra space and the inch of ground clearance wasn’t making much of a difference, as long as I do some research and buy good all seasons it’ll have a 99% the same performance as a Y.
Hi Volts. I totally understand where you're coming from. I think I just like the SUV overall over a sedan. After owning the Y and now the X i ca say with certainty that anyone Tesla you choose will be an outstanding vehicle in any weather condition. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Ugh. The thin blue line flag just kills me. Not saying I disagree with cops life mattering, but the situation in which it got co-opted - on the heels of police abuse and murder (BLM) just causes disdain from me, even worse was when cops were also wearing shirts with “I can’t breathe” while waiving this flag was just plain Evil.
Not saying that’s your intent. I know it was created in 2019 for cops killed on line of duty predating 2020 issues, but can’t help that it causes me distress due to aforementioned co-opting
I understand what you're saying. I don't condone abuse of any kind. Not the signal I'm trying to sending. I do appreciate your feed back and for watching!
Hey no worries. I do like your videos, quite informative and helped us configure and order our model x.
@@p1ca550 Please let know you receive your X and thank you so much for watching!
