We loved Tesla Model X when we test drove it. The sales girl told us that the car would be ready in 2 month. We ordered it! when delivery specialist contacted us after that, he said that actually the car will be ready in October. We said -OK, what can you do? 2 month later we got a call the the car is ready, (2 month earlier then promised), we must come and accept delivery for it. The time slots for delivery appointments are limited, and so we have to adjust out busy schedule to receive the car. We have scramble to get loan-since we were told that we had 2 extra month before, also the charger is not installed, so that becoming a pain. The car drove fine, fast p90d with ludicrous mode, comfy however; it started to fall apart on day 2-little parts on inside (decorative) things started to fall off. The on day 5 the car shut down, with all warning lights on, and we took it back to service. That's where the crappy service began. First we could not get hold of the service person, -he was with other customers. Now when i get a 160K car -I expect service person available, period! Then they said that replacement car would come from Enterprise?! who promised me Chevy Impala. of course i said that will not happen and after discussing this issue with service representative they somehow got fully charged Model S they could loan us. It has been almost a week and car still not repaired, parts are ordered from somewhere...... no time estimates given. So after owning Tesla Model X for 2 weeks, I am less then impressed. I understand that things can malfunction, but lack of service is just that.....

Test Driving a Model X P90D

About the car: aside the electric part (which it is good or the best in itself) the price range with options (100-120 K) that makes Tesla desirable is not competitive with other cars in that range and same style. Cabin is not sealed at 65-70 m/h, tires are noisy too at that speed. Auto Pilot feature is misleading (I am sure it will get better) but just now it is nothing else than a dynamic cruise control. Acceleration is very sensitive which it is likely to please certain group of people, but it is not practical for an everyday commuting car, making Model X a toy to enjoy and impress friends once in a while. Bottom line: Too much money for a good battery and decently good looking car. About the service: it is not clear how maintenance would be handled. In case of having the car serviced for a reason different from scheduled maintenance, it seems there is a LONG waiting list to get hands on a dealer loaner. The alternative would be a gas operated car from a rent-a-car company. This is not acceptable, not for that price. Summary: For more than it is innovative and cute, the model X is not ready to compete in the price range it has being marketed. Suggestion to consumers: sleep on it until it develops in a better choice. It will for sure!

Yes it's all electric, and yes, it's pricey around $90-100K for a "used" car, but if you can find a low mileage Model X P90D in excellent condition, then it's certainly worth looking at. Most people will find the 2017 75D or 100D regular version (not the "P" version) to have about the same look & feel as I didn't see that many changes from the 2016 to 2017 for both the "P" and "non-P" versions, but the one option on the P90D X that I test drove had "Ludicrous Mode". For those who don't know what that is, it's basically taking a very fast car and making it ridiculously faster. Other than on a race track, I'm not sure how beneficial that option really is to the average driver, but at around 3.0 seconds from 0-60, you certainly can get a jump on others at the stop light or merge onto the freeway very quickly. I guess it's one of those "nice to haves" but probably not used that often in a commuter car. Best thing to do is test drive both the "P" and "non-P" cars at a Tesla dealer and see for yourself. Keep in mind a "new" 2017 P100D with Ludicrous mode will probably set you back over $140,000. So for a (1) year old car with under 10K miles, at a price of around $90K, a 2016 Model X P90D is a substantial $(50,000) savings, or on the other hand a huge loss if you bought it "new" in 2016. By the way, I saw the sticker price of the car I test drove to add "Ludicrous Mode" was $10,000, and the total price of the car was $147,000. Both have Tesla's 50,000 mile 4 year warranty and the 8 year on the battery & motors, but check with the Tesla dealer to confirm these numbers. The only drawback was my test car had Autopilot v 1.0, and not the latest v 2.0 Autopilot, so the 2016 I drove could not eventually be a 100% self-driving car.

Expensive and disappointed

I purchased a 2016 Tesla Model X P90D in July of 2022 from a private seller who really loved the model X, but had decided to upgrade to a newer model. I knew I wanted to try an electric SUV and I wanted one with a range that I could drive long distances, so tesla was a no brainer with the supercharging network. Since I purchased it from a private dealer, I also was able to transfer over his free supercharging and extended warranty, which was really great. All that being said, this car has honestly been a huge disappointment to me. It just seems like there are small issues happening all over the place, and a lot of them add up to spending a lot of money. Cost I didn't expect to incur: - Insurance in BC Canada for this car is over $4,000 per year - The tires that fit this car are a bit harder to find and aren't the cheapest tires. They also have a shorter life span because they are a different size in the back and the front of the car, meaning you can't rotate them as much and shouldn't expect them to last as many seasons - I was having issues with the voice command feature on the car since I purchased it and when it was in service, the only solution they could provide was to update the infotainment system which cost $3k. Honestly, it didn't even fix things all that much - the air suspension in the front of the car started leaking as of Jan 2024 and has to be replaced and that is $3k. - Between July of 2022 and Jan of 2024, I have driven the car approximately 20,000km and the value of the car has depreciated approximately 45-55k CAD from when I bought it. I am quite devastated to realize that not only has this been a money pit to have while I've had it, but now that I want to sell, I am losing so much to do so. I've also had issues with the battery life (as others have mentioned) in the colder months being much worse. Also more recently I've been having issues with the windows on the front driver and passenger doors not working properly to close and seal for driving in freezing temps. Also the mirrors not folding in or folding out correctly in freezing temps. A few times this has resulted in me starting to drive without realizing my windows weren't out and struggling to fix it in a safe way while driving. Overall really disappointed. This car just has too many issues and is way too expensive to maintain for a luxury vehicle that's 8 years old

A 3-in-1 Vehicle!

We have one of the original Model X's, a 2016 P90DL Signature Performance. It is a phenomenal vehicle, but of course, all good things must have issues... right? Well, yes. We tend to keep this car's mileage relatively low, and right now its about 25k miles, for a 2016! At around 23k, we had to replace the falcon door latch, and a sensor (which wasn't SO expensive). This is basically our only issue in the many years we've owned it. This vehicle is amazing, it's fast (which the kids love), practical (amazing for Costco hauls LOL), and very safe (the Tesla Autopilot feature is exceptional, it is especially handy for long road trips and everyday freeway commuting). My favorite things about the car are the giant windshield, the very convenient falcon wing doors (which the kids also love), and the amount of storage space throughout the entire car. Now, onto speed. I absolutely adore the Ludicrous Speed Upgrade option, which is amazing for having fun with the kids in my family. When I'm not using Ludicrous, I tend to have it set to sport. (There are four speed options: Chill, Sport, Ludicrous, and Ludicrous+ (Max Battery Power)) The sport setting is quick and zippy, perfect for overtaking on the freeway and weaving through traffic. I am also very obsessed with the Signature Red (PPSR) paint color, which only recently I found out that it is exclusive to the Signature Line! Overall, this vehicle is perfect for many families, for those who value either looks, performance, practicality, or all 3!
