2024 Tesla Model X

Price Range: $79,990 - $94,990 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

There are so many interesting aspects to the 2024 Model X — the panoramic windshield, the upward-opening falcon-wing doors and the sports car-beating acceleration — that you can almost overlook the fact that the Tesla Model X is electric. Cargo and passenger space is impressive, too, as long you opt for the five-seat configuration. But subpar smartphone integration and a lack of practicality are weak spots.Read full review

Overview

Nearly a decade since its debut, the Tesla Model X retains the character that has made it a favorite with families looking to go electric. It's roomy and efficient, with seating for seven and Tesla-estimated range of up to 335 miles. Cargo space is also abundant and the Model X's design is distinctive. Its upward-opening rear falcon-wing doors are also a guaranteed conversation starter, even if that conversation includes grumbling to yourself about low overhead garage clearances.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: Notable changes for 2024

For 2024, more physical changes include a glass roof that Tesla says weighs less and allows more light into the cabin yet retains the same level of UV protection. Upgraded brake pads that can handle more heat also promise improved braking performance. There's also a stunning new shade of red paint called Ultra Red.

Competitors to consider

The Model X was the only large EV in town when it debuted, but numerous rivals have entered the space since then. Alternatives from established automakers include the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and — if you can get by with just two rows of seats — the Mercedes EQE SUV, BMW iX and Audi Q8 e-tron. There's also the three-row Rivian R1S, which adds off road capability to the mix, plus the excellent new Kia EV9 that undercuts its competitors by thousands of dollars. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below for our test team's insight into the Model X's real-world range, utility and more.

What’s it like to live with?

Tesla introduced the Model X in 2016, so we bought one and drove it for nearly 25,000 miles over two years. It was an all-new design and just Tesla's third electric vehicle, so our first-year Model X had more than a few problems. The latest examples of this SUV have a nicer interior, better build quality, and improved driver assist technology, but many of our observations still apply to today's Model X. Read what we experienced in our extensively detailed 2016 Tesla Model X report.

Great

8.1

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8/10

How does the Model X drive? Performance has become the calling card of the Tesla brand and the midsize Model X upholds that reputation. The standard Model X boasts 670 hp and accelerates quite quickly. The 1,020-hp Plaid is even more brutal. Make sure to give your passengers fair warning before putting your foot down.

Balancing out that impressive speed are excellent brakes that are both easy to use in traffic and strong and confident when you need to stop in a hurry. There's enough regenerative braking when lifting off the accelerator that you can often drive around without touching the brake pedal. Though we're really not fans of the awkward steering yoke, the X's ultra-quick steering makes it feel nimble, while its low center of gravity and adaptive suspension keep body motions to a minimum. This sizable family SUV drives more like a car.

Also worth noting: The adaptive air suspension provides up to 8.9 inches of ground clearance when you need it.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Model X? One benefit of the larger Tesla models, including the Model X, is the adaptive air suspension, which significantly improves ride comfort. Even with 20-inch wheels and an exceptionally high tire pressure of 45 psi, the Model X boasts an admirable ability to absorb bumps in the road. This quality, along with a cabin well insulated against outside noise, makes for a very comfortable environment.

As far as seats go, the Model X's are pretty well cushioned and provide enough adjustments to dial in your personal comfort. But the synthetic leather upholstery lacks breathability, so even mildly warm weather can make the seats feel swampy. The Model X's climate controls are simple to use, but know that the extra-large windshield lets in a bit more heat during hot summer days than a typical-size windshield.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? Obviously, the doors are the biggest story here on the Model X. First you have the driver's door that opens automatically and can be shut without lifting a finger (brilliant!). Then you have the rear doors that open like wings (conversation starter!) and provide unmatched access to the rear seats. But they can also be liabilities in garages and other places with low ceilings.

The user interface is one of the few areas where Tesla has taken a step back with the Model X. The controversial steering yoke is the largest pain point, and the decision to remove the traditional column stalks and replace them with touch-sensitive buttons has made simple everyday actions much more distracting. Even changing lanes requires you to take your eyes off the road momentarily to press the correct arrow button. The big 17-inch touchscreen is a little easier to navigate than the previous Model X touchscreen, but learning the menu structure will take a bit of time.

Interior space is generous in the first and second rows. The complex falcon-wing door mechanisms intrude somewhat on third-row headroom. Oh, and that aforementioned extra-large windshield provides a panoramic view out like no other.

Technology

7/10

How’s the tech? For all the technological marvels in the Model X, there are some shortcomings. The lack of smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a big drawback, and Bluetooth is a poor substitute. If you're parked, you've got access to an internet browser that allows you to do stuff like watch Netflix or scroll through YouTube videos — provided you're subscribed to a Tesla data plan or connected to Wi-Fi.

The Model X's advanced driver aids also didn't prove as robust as those in other Teslas we've tested. The adaptive cruise control was prone to false positive collision warnings, and lane centering seemed to favor the driver-side line instead of the center. The real-time digital map of all the cars and motorcycles around you is pretty neat to see, and we like that you can pull up the rearview camera anytime you want.

One of Tesla's greatest innovations are the over-the-air updates that can add new features and system optimizations. Also, the big center screen is the largest in the industry, with crisp graphics and a stunning Google-based nav system. Our only gripe is that it can leave you temporarily mapless in spotty service areas.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? Storage is excellent in the Model X. The combination of the large rear cargo area (that includes generous underfloor storage for the five-seat configuration) and the largest front trunk in the segment makes the X the best at hauling cargo. Though we don't recommend an EV if you need to tow things over long distances, the Model X is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds.

The Model X's in-cabin storage configuration for small items is definitely more creative and better than average. There's sizable storage underneath a sliding cover with configurable drawers. We're still not convinced it's the most efficient design, but we definitely like this setup the best by Tesla so far.

The falcon-wing doors absolutely rule for car seat access, and there's sufficient room for a large rear-facing seat behind an average-size driver. Car seat anchors are tucked a bit deep, though, and the fixed headrests mean the top tethers are awkwardly routed to the side.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? The latest Model X has an EPA-estimated range of 348 miles and a consumption of 33 kWh per 100 miles, which is less efficient than the average luxury EV. But the Model X is one of the larger EVs sold and boasts impressive performance.

The X comes with an 11.5-kW onboard charger and the usual assortment of charge cord options. It also works with Tesla's nationwide Supercharger network, which can make long-distance driving a viable option.

Value

8/10

Is the Model X a good value? Overall, the Model X's pricing is pretty competitive among midsize luxury EVs even without the benefit of a tax credit. Tesla's build quality has steadily improved over the years, though the Model X's is still a bit below the competition. You do get a battery range and performance advantage, but the interior lacks the solidity of an Audi even if the minimalist design is visually appealing.

The basic warranty is four years/50,000 miles, which is about average but less than what Jaguar offers. The powertrain is covered for eight years/150,000 miles, and Tesla guarantees that the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity over that period.

Wildcard

9/10

The Model X is engineered to wow. It'll impress your passengers with its sheer speed and panoramic windshield, and it'll entertain parents in the school pickup line as your kids pile in through an outstretched falcon-wing door. The X's theatrics have likely converted a good number of SUV fans to EVs.

Even a base Model X is pretty fun to hustle around. That's thanks to the low-mounted battery weight that makes it feel more like a car than an SUV. The immediate thrust from the electric motors becomes addicting, so much so that you might swear off gas-powered cars for good.

Which Model X does Edmunds recommend?

We think the standard Model X trim will suit most buyers. It comes well equipped with plenty of features, including an air suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 17-inch touchscreen. It's also plenty quick for a family hauler, covering 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds. The bonkers-fast Plaid trim will satisfy ravenous dopamine appetites, of course, but it's more expensive, covers less distance on a full charge, and reduces seating to six passengers.

NOTE: This video is about the 2022 Tesla Model X, but since the 2024 Tesla Model X is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.

The Rivian R1S and Tesla Model X Plaid each take a very different approach to the large luxury three-row EV SUV segment — a segment in which they're essentially the only two major players. Tesla's got years of experience under its belt at this point — though it's definitely still a startup — while Rivian is the newcomer looking to fight. Both SUVs are mega-powerful and lay…

Tesla Model X vs. Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV

A Mercedes-made Model X equivalent with better build quality, nicer and more versatile interior, and a lower price? Sign us up. The EQS is larger than the Model X, although its optional third row is only suitable for kids. Rear-wheel steering helps make the EQS more maneuverable, but it can't match the Tesla's faster and more visceral acceleration, longer EPA-estimated range and additional cargo space. The Model X also offers the convenience of Tesla's Supercharger network. And in the world of EVs, the Benz badge doesn't yet carry quite the same weight as Tesla.

Tesla Model X vs. BMW iX

The BMW iX's bold and polarizing design makes the egg-shaped Model X look handsome, but it does the job: The iX demands notice. It's smaller than the Tesla, and it delivers up to 324 miles on a full charge, roughly matching the Model X's range. The BMW's generous ground clearance — nearly 9 inches — also allows for some off-road adventure, all for a lot less than the Tesla. The BMW's infotainment also offers more useful features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Compare Tesla Model X & BMW iX features

Tesla Model X vs. Rivian R1S

The Rivian R1S is the SUV follow-up to the R1T truck and shines both on- and off-road. Maximum ground clearance is nearly 15 inches — more than double the Model X's max clearance — making it the clear choice for traversing dirt and trails. And with independent motors at each wheel, traction is abundant. The R1S isn't as powerful as the Model X Plaid, but with 835 horsepower, it's a trivial complaint. We range-tested a Rivian Launch Edition with an EPA-estimated range of 316 miles and it went 330 miles. The R1S' build quality and interior materials are also a step above the Tesla.
