I got my Model X delivered Dec 30th to my home at 10:00pm. Probably the most exciting new car purchase I have ever made. It is fast, smooth, quiet, and comfortable. Its range is excellent. It is truly the future of transportation. I have had only minor issues, Tesla customer service is first class. Much better than my piece of crap BMW x5. That thing broke down all the time, and the service center locally was a pain to deal with. I am very happy with my purchase. 1 year later update. Awesome car. Some minor issues that Tesla swiftly took care of. Best customer service on the planet. I am still happy with my vehicle. Smooth, quiet, fast, looks great, feels great.

Breaking is not only breaking but it is also recharging the battery. And you really don't have to break. You just take your foot off the gas. It almost stopped by itself. But it's so fluid you really don't even notice it. Getting in and out was great for my parents who are older as the doors just lift up and all they had to do for swing their feet out. It was a little bit more of a drama or get it out of the third row but not too much hassle as the seat aisle is very large. I am in love with a car display option for GPS. My parents could see all of the information from the second row. There were no questions as to if I knew where I was going. So in love with his car!

If you have children, this is the best, safety, SUV around. Third row access is easy thanks to the Falcon wings, while middle row child seats can be accessed without hitting your head on the roof, or killing your back while hunching over. Add solar on your house and you can power it with sunshine. Amazing. Update 6 months later - had a great 3,000 mile road trip. There's nothing this vehicle can't do. My husband and I fight over who gets to drive it. Update 4 years later - over 60,000 miles on it. Husband got himself a Model 3. X is perfect, minor sensory tweaks by service required for "Wings". Still loving it! Update - traded in for smaller Tesla Model Y. Still highly recommend if someone needs a large SUV.

The Model X is a crossover with motorized hatchback and up to three rows of seats, seven in all, built on the frame of the Model S sedan. It is about 2" longer and 10" higher than the Model S. It inherits the battery-powered drive units from the Model S with three all-wheel-drive configurations: 75D, 90D, and P100D. The number indicates the kilowatt hour energy capacity rating of the big battery pack, the D stands for dual motors and the P indicates the super fast performance model. Like the Model S the X is very quick 0-60, leaving all other comparable SUVs far behind. I have the seven seat, 90D option. With the two third row seats folded flat there is a reasonable amount of storage space. There would be more had the second row seats been designed to fold, which they now do in newer versions. The controls and Autopilot systems are inherited based on Mobileye Corp. software work quite well, but because Tesla broke up with Mobileye, will probably never be improved. Because of its height the X is much easier to get in and out of than the S, especially the second row via the iconic Falcon Wing Doors. The third row has limited legroom, okay for small kids. The self-presenting front doors and spectacular rear doors have sensors to minimize the chance of banging into people or objects. The autopilot software features in current and recent models was developed by Tesla. With 9 cameras, a radar system, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a far more powerful computer than I have, current models promise full self driving capability features as a future option. The windshield rises overhead to provide a spectacular vista for the driver. The rear view mirror in my car is somewhat blocked by the second row middle seat head rest. This is not a problem for taller drivers or the six seat configuration. Newer designs have eliminated this issue. The Model X is a very comfortable car to drive on road trips, although it uses about 15% more energy per mile, depending on speed, than the Model S because it pushes more air and is about 10% heavier. Driving 600 miles a day takes about an hour longer than with the S due to added charging time at the Tesla Superchargers. If the idea of an ultra-safe, super-quick, up to seven passenger car that can park and practically drive itself for $100,000+/- appeals to you, go for it. You will be sporting the Tesla grin every time you get into it. After 4 years and 33, 000 miles, I'm still delighted with the car, not to mention the only things needed at annual service visits are cabin filter, windshield wipers and windshield washer fluid, if you don't take care of those items yourself. The only other routine maintenance that I have done is to buy new tires at 25,000 miles.

Pros: Better for mother earth. Fun to drive. Roomy interior. No more gas stations. Large number of charging stations. Navigation and console road map is fantastic. Cons: Yet another big problem as of today (Dec. 19, 2021). The charging port will not open when I need to charge my car. Yet another trip to the service department. This car is not aging well, I have owned it since 2016. 1. Falcon doors slow and annoying. Sometimes they open only a few inches then quickly slam shut. I was told that the sensors need changing and warranty has expired ($$$). Sometimes falcon doors only open half way and guests have to squeeze under. #embarrassing. 2. Front doors are slow to open, or they sense things (ghosts) are in the way and will not open, and the driver’s door slams shut when you don’t want it to. SUPER annoying. 3. The dark glass roof gets incredibly hot. Thank goodness I live in a cool climate. The visors are ridiculously small. Sun glare is very hard on the eyes. Every single day I wish I had a large visor and a regular car roof. 4. Model X has serious blind spots. It was a big mistake for Elon to reject the red blinking lane-changing lights on the side mirrors— such a fantastic automotive safety feature. I wish Elon had put his battery technology on the body of a Lexus or Mercedes SUV. If they come out with a long range electric car I’ll switch immediately. Dec. 2021 update: Continue to deal with a myriad of problems. For example the falcon doors malfunctioned and shattered the glass panel on the roof. This was a structural weakness so Tesla fixed this several thousand dollar problem for free, thank goodness.
