Check the tires pressure at least once a week. I have been driving for over 40 years, and I have owned 16 cars or trucks/SUVs. This is the best handling, cars i have ever owned. You will need to have a little patience learning how to work all the gadgets, however I have not got used to falcon doors in the garage. I enjoy driving pass the gas stations. Take the test drive before you buy. Special note: I only had the SUV when someone broke the front glass to get me brief case. It took 27 days to get the replacement glass. Aside from that incident, I am very happy with the SUV, and I plan to keep it for at least 15 years.

The front end cost can be reduced by state and federal tax credits depending on the state. You will also save about $10,000 in the first 4 years based on current gas prices. BTW, all currently new 2017 Tesla Model X vehicles and presumably the 2018 models come with fold-down back seats to add to the storage capacity of the vehicle, and the 5,000 lb. hitch is standard. Now have 28,000 miles on the vehicle without any problems. Have NEVER seen any powertrain problems reported by ANY Tesla owners. There are very few powertrain moving parts, and they are all sealed and maintenance-free. Have yet to bring the vehicle into the shop for anything. Powertrain battery warranty is 100,000/10 yr. but if properly recharged should last to 300,000 miles with only 20% reduction in range. Monthly software updates come thru your home internet system and add features including new driver assistance features, adding to driver safety. The fit and finish has been fine on the car. Be aware in weather below freezing your range will be reduced by about 20%.

My wife and I have had our Model X75D for about 11 months. So far it's been great. Road handling and acceleration are spectacular, to the point that I can't bring myself to actually depress the accelerator to the floor. Front seats are super-comfortable, cargo capacity is amazing. Falcon wind doors are a hoot, and make backseat access super-easy. Things you should know? 1) It's a big vehicle 2) rear seats are just average comfortable 3) Bluetooth player is adequate, but just. On the happy surprise side, over-the-air updates are a real thing and can add real functionality. Maintenance? None required. Range? We're still getting used to the idea on long trips, but otherwise it's not a factor. For daily use just plug the thing in at home overnight once or twice a week. As others have mentioned, it's probably a mistake to think of this as just a car. It's the future and it keeps evolving even after you buy it. February 2020 update: The car is still performing perfectly. Water in a taillight was fixed by a visit from the Tesla ranger under warranty. I still find the vehicle large when trying to park, though on a road trip it is superb.

You really are driving the future. Once you drive a electronic veh. there is simply nothing else like it. you drive a combustion engine again and you realize how antiquated gas veh. are becoming. It is simply the future of vehicles. Cant wait for jeep, Landrover et. al. to come up / out with electric!

I had this car now for about five months. I want to give it some time before writing this review. Generally speaking the car is amazing. I wish I lived in an area where there was a service center however Tesla mobile service has been very responsive and very helpful. The only issue is that it sometimes takes a week or two to schedule a service appointment. The acceleration, the storage capacity,And the technology are amazing. I was a former Audi lover and I still really love their cars however the model X is still ahead. Yes there are some minor fit and finish issues but when I go back and look at my Audi I actually realize that it also had them I just never looked so carefully. In the end this is the best car I have ever owned and despite the steep price tag I have no regrets and can never see myself driving a gasoline vehicle again unless they were unusual extenuating circumstances. I also love the fact that they are software updates to keep improving my car. I never remember anything like that from prior vehicles I have on. For those of you who criticize the car I urge you the first to make sure you drive it and spend some time with it because it really is different from anything you’ve driven before.
