Everything about this car is amazing. Hi-tech, performant, and a head turner. My car is 4 years old and through software updates, it feels consistently brand new.

unbeatable SUV experience

I came from a 2021 BMW X5 and although it was better than most SUVs out there in fit and finish, it had its faults, especially with the driver profile mapping, the hydraulic suspension (always would return to mid setting and wouldn't allow lowest on highway) and how much gas it would burn through. Enter the 2018 Model X, and not just an EV with decent range, but a technology and innovation powerhouse. After selling my BMW, I was able to buy this vehicle for almost 10k less than what I spent on the Beamer. Although missing some of the newer features and the high supercharging speeds of the 2019+ models, it is definitely worth the money. No other EV can match the view from the "cockpit"- windshield glass that extends above and beyond the driver seat, allowing a unique view of God's Creation like no other vehicle on the market. Combined with autopilot, you can take long gazes out the large windshield at highway speed without risk of an accident. The back seats are well spaced and even the view from the middle row can feel very unique and special as you can recline the seat back and stare up through the top glass on the falcon wing door, as well as out of the side window. Plenty of legroom, except for the last two seats in the 3rd row, but the monopost middle row seats move forward, allowing more foot space without impeding the middle row passenger's leg room very much. Go ahead, don't be afraid of summoning the vehicle in a parking lot- but just be ready to jump into it when it gets near.. it still hasn't figured out how to stop without blocking traffic :)

Exceptional car

After owning this car for 2 years, it has been fabulous, fun to drive, and no issues. Mobile service for routine service also is great. After driving coast to coast, I experienced no supercharging stress. Chargers are everywhere along USA major routes. I never want to drive another type of car again.

Dead on arrival

The car can die WHILE PLUGGED IN. The app will not notify you. If it’s dead, there is no way to unlock the car and jump it like a normal car. You will have to pay for professionals. You better live in town with a Tesla dealership or you’re going to have to pay to get the car towed to a place that can work on it.

THIS LEMON IS AS RELIABLE AS A SWISS CHEESE CONDOM

I hate loathe despise my piece of crap and I say this because I probably can’t curse on this site and plan to put reviews on every reliable site I can. This is how feed up I am with this rat mobile so others will be warned. I constantly have thoughts of what’s going to break down next week or month? This is not what you want to think of for any car and this is without a doubt the WORST I’ve every owned in terms of reliability and service which I will elaborate. The worst car I’ve ever owned in terms of reliability is the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is no longer made for obvious reasons. What makes this Tesla worse is not the reliability but the scheduling of service. You cannot talk to a live person, everything is done on Tesla APP and scheduling could take 2-3 weeks if you’re lucky they don’t cancel on you and keep rescheduling. At least with the Jeep I got it fixed anywhere anytime. My Tesla model suX is practically at in the Tesla service shop every month or 2 months when I can get scheduled. Oddly I don’t even speed much or drive it hard. The issues I’ve had which I can remember are: Side mirrors not working $565 Front passenger door wont open $146 Control arms replacement around 50K $1500 HEPA filter replacement $919 Small battery change, not the big one but a small one $243 Constant software issues Charging fuel latch won’t open $400 Rear balancing after eating my new Continental tires at 12,000 @ $275 Both rear trunk buttons won’t work $95 As of 07/11/2022 the car wont even charge now!! How insane is that???? Haven’t gotten repair price for this yet. This car gets lots of looks and saves on gas for sure but TRUST ME it doesn’t make the worst reliable car list on several reports for no reason. I don’t think the S 3 or Y have the same issues as the X but be forewarned: stay away from this LEMON unless you plan endure lots of time bringing it to Tesla’s service center.
