Model X: FUN to drive but breaks a LOT.

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.

Attention! If you have problems navigating your smart phone (with the exception of anything apple) then this car is probably NOT for you. On a positive note, this car has changed my life! I have owned my 2017 X for 6 months and managed to put 21,000+ trouble free miles so far. I've taken this car up and down the mountains, everglades, dirt, rock, middle of nowhere and I loved every bit of it. The view from inside is better then my convertible! The cooling seats are great in the summer plus you can cool or heat the car from the tesla app on your phone before you enter + lock/ unlock doors + even move it forward and backward for tight parking etc. Adjustable suspension knows what to do on bad terrain. Autopilot sure helps in traffic or long trips just be alert since bad drivers are everywhere and construction or roads with no lines or faded lines can confuse the car periodically. I have the 5 seat configuration and my rear seat folds down. I heard all the new models do that now too. Charging is super easy and fast compared to stopping multiple times to fill up and the navigation is so spot on it has signal even when my phone didn't! I've heard of some people having issues with their cars I'm def not one of them and it's actually pretty rare. Again please read my first sentence and that should explain everything. Upon delivery you are treated with excellent service and a full introduction of the vehicle. It will take a few days to soak in all the amazing stuff this SUV (that drives like a lotus) can do!
