- We covered it all in this 48-minute generation 2.0 Tesla Model X Long Range review, from what went wrong with our older Model X P100Ds, the incentives that Tesla/Government gave to help make the purchase happen, performance launches on both, interior and exterior analysis and we discuss and demonstrate how good FSD has gotten.
But that's not all-join us as we welcome Chris Rembolt @remboldt to share his thoughts and draw comparisons with the 2018 Tesla Model X P100D. In this 48:00 minute review and comparison, we covered it all truly exploring the evolution of Tesla's flagship SUV over the years.
In the realm of electric vehicles, Tesla has been the pioneer, pushing the boundaries of innovation and performance. The 2023 Model X Long Range stands as a testament to Tesla's commitment to redefining electric mobility. From its futuristic design to unparalleled range capabilities, this SUV is a force to be reckoned with. In this review, we'll dissect its features, performance, and advancements, all while drawing insightful comparisons with its predecessor, the 2018 Model X P100D.
The 2023 Model X Long Range, finished in the new striking Ultra Red, is a visual marvel. Join us as we explore the design evolution from the 2018 P100D to the present day. From the sleek lines and panoramic windshield to the distinctive Falcon Wing doors, every aspect of the exterior is meticulously examined. How has Tesla refined its design language, and does the Ultra Red color option add a new dimension to the Model X's aesthetic appeal? We also discuss the "hand built" build quality between the older cars and the quality of the ones rolling off the line today.
Strap in as we delve into the heart of the matter-the performance and range of the 2023 Model X Long Range. With its advanced dual-motor electric powertrain, the Model X boasts an impressive range that challenges the limits of what electric vehicles can achieve. We'll conduct real-world performance tests, compare acceleration between the LR and P100D, and discuss the technological advancements that contribute to the Model X's exceptional performance. Chris and I were shocked at how well performance-wise it stacked up against the 2018 P100D in terms of speed, efficiency, and overall driving experience.
Step inside the cabin, and you'll be greeted by Tesla's commitment to creating a futuristic and comfortable driving environment. We'll explore the Gen 2.0 changes in interior design, materials, and layout between the 2018 P100D and the 2023 Long Range. From the expansive touchscreen interface to the innovative features like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capabilities, discover how Tesla has continued to raise the bar for in-car technology. We did discuss FSD, and it's absolutely incredible in this latest model. It literally drove us 72 miles without me having to take over once and this was on so very back roads as well.
Our review wouldn't be complete without a detailed comparison between the 2023 Model X Long Range and its predecessor, the 2018 Model X P100D. We'll examine key aspects such as battery technology, charging capabilities, interior upgrades, and overall driving dynamics. How has Tesla refined its flagship SUV, and what lessons from the past have influenced the evolution of the Model X.
We'll discuss how color impacts the overall perception of the vehicle, the maintenance considerations for each hue, and the personal preferences that come into play when choosing between these distinctive colors. Does the Ultra Red bring a new level of sophistication to the Model X, or does the timeless White retain its allure?
Beyond the specs and performance, owning a Tesla is an experience in itself. We'll share insights into the ownership experience, from issues that went wrong with our used Model X P100Ds, charging infrastructure, and road trips, and software updates. How has Tesla addressed user feedback, and what improvements have been made to enhance the overall satisfaction of Model X owners.
The 2023 Tesla Model X Long Range in Ultra Red is a testament to Tesla's unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric mobility, and our comparison with the 2018 Model X P100D provides valuable insights into the evolution of Tesla's flagship SUV.

The battery heater wasn't covered under the battery/power train warranty?
The 2024 X I picked up in May has the horn in the middle of the steering wheel. Thank you Tesla!
Great video thank you. Wish you talked more about which year each vehicle was. Im sure you mentioned it but I am not sure of the yrlears of the two vehicles.
Appreciate you watching and commenting Peter 👊 Happy to clarify - Chris’s white X P100D featured is a 2018, my first black X P100D is a 2016, and of course the red one is 2023.
Thank you.@@Driven-Productions
Great video! Just ordered a brand new MX Ultra Red... this video got me pumped
Awesome, congratulations. Hope you used my referral code to get some extra goodies. 👊
oh yessss you know it! @@Driven-Productions
Have you received your car yet?
Thanks for sharing, I was wondering how did you get your FSD transferred. I want to buy the X and have a 2018 model S with FSD. I asked my Tesla rep and they said no a few weeks ago after test driving the X.
It was a promotion Tesla emailed/texted me, if I took delivery of the car by September. I told them late August I could not take delivery by then but would order if they extended it. A week later Tesla announced they extended the promotion to take delivery by end of year, and I completed the order in time to get one in 2023. Transferred the day I picked it up.
When is Tesla going to upgrade the MX?? It’s due…Steer by wire and 4WS would be nice
Well done review and comparison. I was a Model S P100D driver and jumped to Audi eTron and now considering Model X Plaid and your review helped.
Thank you Patrick for taking the time to watch and comment, means a lot to me. I do like the eTron, and we enjoyed reviewing this one earlier this year. czcams.com/video/p9xXCR-AQV8/video.htmlsi=DCDzFYwyrT_6Lc3i
I do still need to review the Audi e-tron GT and compare it to the Cayman Turbo S.
Best video quality on the Tube, by far
Man thank you. That means a lot it’s been a hard learning curve these past years.
My model X plaid 2024 is coming in two weeks and I was iffy about it, but this video made me feel good.
Look forward to driving one of those cars soon!
Come on down to the HQ and give it a try. It feels more refined than that S P100D you rocked for years.
10:15 critical info, helpful.
Great show! I am considering leasing a Model X so this was very helpful. Thanks
Appreciate you watching and dropping a comment sir. Car has 4,100 miles now and no issues to report.
Great video!! I really enjoyed being a part of this and watching the video. You make great content bro!!
Appreciate you spending the time together my friend. I hope this one gets picked up it’s loaded with solid content in my opinion for anyone looking to make an informed Tesla Model X Long Range or used X performance model buying decision.
Is there any difference between the windscreen size or extent? Please do let me know.
No I don’t believe so, windshield is the same between Gen 1 and Gen 2.
Hello, does the Model X have blind spot sensors on the side mirrors?
They got ride of the sensors just recently, but the cameras are always watching and it’s same thing. Will beep and warm you if you make a move.
I’m glad I watched this. I had ruled Tesla out but at this new lower price it becomes very competitive! I may have one soon!
All the best with your new X!
We needed this video thank you guys! It’s helping me decide if I should trade my 2018 x for 2024
How is the fsd with interior camera vs no camera 2 months in?
Is stereo much better?
And that brings me to another video I’m working cause I can can’t stand the new FSD “pay attention” warnings. Defeats the entire purpose of FSD. I covered it and selected Auto-steer Beta for now. Which thankfully after an initial pay attention warning works like previous gen software (but no destination to destination FSD)
@@Driven-Productionsdoes enhanced auto pilot with NOA for highways use camera . It’s 1/2 way between AP and FSD . With a 2019 raven x and 2017 S, the fsd with no camera is the main reason I haven’t updated . Use it like 99.9% of the time .
@@AkpDiwali so it allows you to cover the camera, lane change and lane steer works fine. Comes up with normal steering wheel pay attention asks. I would def pass on FSD unless it was free/transferred.
Keeping your suspension at LOW creates the camber that allows for a more performance centric handling. The older Model Xs have a way to set your suspension levels. I had mine set to STANDARD until it hits 80mph then have it go to LOW.
My 2018 MS P100D also had a battery heater replaced last December. Similar $1,300.
Thanks for watching and sharing, Chris.
Great job on the video! I really enjoyed the comparison. I owned a 2016 Tesla Model X 90D, and let me tell you, that car gave me the blues with all the costly out-of-warranty repairs. From the mirror motor to the squeaky front suspension caused by not enough factory grease, and even the wheel fairing separating from the car in a car wash - it was one thing after another. The falcon door sensor misbehaving and needing a reset, and the center glass between the falcon doors blowing off on the highway without me knowing until I got home - it was quite the adventure. Not to mention the AC compressor going bad and the fact that cracked two ‘22 wheels at a whopping $2100 per wheel, not to mention needing new tires. Phew!
Surprise! I still really miss my Model X, even though I sold it and bought an ‘18 BMW Alpina and added a ‘22 Ford F150 Raptor to my car collection. I miss my Tesla so much that I went for a test drive of the Model S two days ago, and confirmed I am still a Model X guy.
I'm ready to get another X. Your comparison review has convinced me - it's time to plan for a 2023-24 Model X again. Also, watching the improvements and changes to the newer 2023 Model X was really exciting. Thanks for the great video!
Appreciate you taking the time to check out our content, and sharing your experiences. Happy holidays
Keep up the great work sharing your passion with Tesla ownership 😀 Ill subscribe to keep up with your post. You guys love your Tesla. 👍🏾
Any issues with phantom braking?
Not on this model, yet anyway. But did on my S P100S with FSD a few times. This one does monitor you closely, and forces you to truly pay attention. Its too much for me at the moment, Tesla needs to dial that back a bit.
@@Driven-Productions Thank you for that. On roads not so well marked my 2023 MYP would sometimes tend to phantom brake. So I just leave auto off unless I’m on the freeway
Does the steering wheel block the instrument cluster screen?
Just a bit like any normal wheel would. You can adjust it to see, and it is slightly smaller than the previous generation as you can see in my b roll clips. But, if you want full view of that screen, pay the $1k extra and get the woke wheel.
Does the new one 2024" have the hold feature?
It does, and it does not require you to push the brake either. Just stop and it holds ya till you accelerate.
Just ordered my Model X today. Coming from a Model 3 can’t wait to get it.
Hope you used mine or someone’s code to get some extra goodies 👊 Congratulations
Those cars are really nice but I was thinking of buying a Fisker Ocean. What do you think?
Well you would be an early adopter. What is the charging network like, if you have a warranty issue what happens, does it self drive like a Tesla? These would be main concerns to be, otherwise I like the product.
Can you open the falcon doors with an garage door sitting overhead?
That depends on your ceiling high ultimately, but mine at 9 ft which is pretty low in the other garage was no issue.
Thank you for the comparison video! I've got '22 MSLR, waiting for the delivery next week for my '23 MXLR and a reservation for CyberTruck. I'm an old gal hoping to convince dear husband to be able to drive the MX since he's intimated by the yoke steering of MS which I love it. Reminds me of my younger years when bitching Betty's constant nags "pull up, pull up".
My pleasure! Thank you for taking time to watch and leave a comment. It means a lot to us. Your husband should love the new MX. Tesla really dialed it in, just feels like a premium car now especially on the inside and road feel.
I’m starting to see 4 and 5 year old model X’s that are affordable. What do you think about the older ones? Are the falcon wing doors aging well?
I think the X & S with 3-4 years of warranty left are great buys! Now is a good time little EV backlash and high rates have created a buyers market.
You never mention what year Gen 2 came out? Please!
2023 I believe
I like the background music
Some do some don’t 😂
As you I also bought Model X and had the FSD transferred over from my Model 3. However, on the screen it still shows FSD expires in Feb. 2024 . Which is a 3 months trial. Wondering if this was the case for you. Great comparison of two cars by both of you. Thx
Appreciate you watching and commenting. I will take a look, but if it transferred you should contact your sales team from the texts and inquire.
Same as my case. Car still show I’m on 3 months trial. But my Service Adviser, Tesla Rep and delivery Tech all said everything looks good, paper work has been approved and I am good to go ?
@@andytang7671 I was advised by the Tesla Customer Support to go to the dealership sales representative. I went and all was taken care of in just few minutes. Make sure all your paperwork is in their system. I took a copy of my signed FSD document with me.
@@sanjivnaik Thank you for your info, will do this on the weekend.
02:28 I agree, the older styling looks better. The newer style really looks like a cost-down exercise that was sold as a ”facelift”. The facelift looks appreciably less special and designed with less care.
White look Great 😃👍
I wish the 5-seater rear seat had an armrest similar to the S. And PLEASE Tesla offer a few more interior color options. Like a proper RED for instance. And I wish the base tire/wheel was a 19".
Red interior is a cool idea 💡
My answer for why I ordered the Plaid X:
- Don’t like the wood grain look
- Wanted 6 seat configuration for 2 kids
- At that point it makes sense to pay the extra ~$8,500 for the extra performance.
Plaid was a solid deal, really if you didn’t care about the tax credit and/or needed the 6 seats, no reason not to upgrade to it. For me, having had the P100D for many years, I’d rather have the range. And watch the launch in this review this car is still very fast hits 60 in the mid 3’s… was the most surprising part about the new Tesla Model X Long Range for me.
On my 2018 Model X, my 22in wheels went 65k-70k miles before tires needed to be replaced
Without the camber kit? I honestly don’t believe it. Was lucky to get 20k out of a set. 2018 must be better than 2016.
How often did u have to rotate tires?
I see that they've returned the "MODEL X" emblem on the centre beam between the FWDs. We had one late-2017 build X100D with the emblem, and then a mid-2018 build X100D without it. Elon Musk must have been going through a cost-cutting fit at the time.
I bought a 5 seater for my wife on Christmas. Same color with white interior. I picked it up Dec 23 and was only able to put 350 miles in it. That car spent more time at the service center than in my garage. We got locked out of the car three times. Some software issues
Interesting, so far, no issues here.
Thank you so very much for sharing! Your experience.I was about to get the model X . Until I heard this unhappy customer complain about the same issue you are having with your car.
To my surprise the customer had to wait 2 to 3 months until they fixed his car. Even toe change the tires.
I exist the dealer doors are apologized to my Mercedes Benz❤️
@@Sunshine-rf3wc my wife’s car was in the shop for 3 weeks. Got locked out of the car the same night we got the car back from the shop. We haven’t had any issues since, Tesla service was great though, gave us a newer model X for as a loaner
$80,000 is a nice price, for us in the Netherlands it amounts to 110,000 euros, which is converted into $120,000,
I'm going to save some more money
I would go used, prices here are falling fast on used models.
@@Driven-Productions Indeed, jus bought my first Tesla and will pick it up on Friday, 2017 model X 81,000 miles
@@oscarh250 pennies on the dollar now. Good buys in my eyes.
Cant wait for FSD to come to Europe, hope it will be soon, but sadly a couple of years...I guess...
You do have autopilot though right? Just not FSD beta
yes@@Driven-Productions
The background music was horrible
Appreciate the feedback and for watching, I’ll make a note to remove that first soundtrack. There was three background sounds used in this review. I’m mixed on background music, releasing a 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV edit tomorrow and opted for no music at all - first time I’ve done that.
10:25 Sorry, Chris. "15% longer" vs a gas car is an extremely low estimation. Let's be honest. It's probably 50% (conservative estimate) or more ESPECIALLY with the range of the older models along with their slower charging capability. If you have the newer Tesla models, it's a cinch.
You know, I have to agree. Although keep in mind the 2018 model would do a decent Level 3 charge, but not as much as our Gen 2 can sustain. Appreciate you watching and sharing regardless, it all helps our little community.
The content was good though
Thank you. This video took 15 hours to organize, shoot and edit. We sure appreciate you taking the time to watch it. Makes it worth it. - Adam
Tesla fan-boys? 😎
Fair 😂
The doors are stupid, and nothing more than a party trick and definition of "just because you can do something doesn't mean you should."
Mostly agree, but they are awesome for people like me with kid car seats. Thats why Elon made them, he has like 6 kids.
@@Driven-Productions I have a kid too, I rarely remove the car seat.
@@poorasslawstudent well you got to admit its sure easier with those doors on your back.
Well, you have the option to NOT BUY a model X! But then again, you likely can’t afford one anyway
Grease the backseats man :)
Helo sir. Did you or will you section 179 that baby?
I shall, bought through business as noted
Stop blaming hand assembling.. a Rolls-Royce is hand assembled
True, but a Rolls ain’t mass produced. For every Rolls that was hand built back in the day, Tesla hobbled together 50 Model X’s if not more. Frankly, considering they invented their entire EV tech and car from scratch, it’s commendable build quality.
@@Driven-Productions and I really doubt the first few years of RR fit and finish was top notch as they are today
"most people couldn't drive on this road successfully". Thats a delusional comment of the day for me.
Well context was the Titan truck driving in front of us with a human was far worse than FSD navigating that road. Maybe they were looking at their phone or just a bad driver who knows. Remember FSD is always driving 100% dialed looking at everything, and it will force you to take over if it can’t make the right call in the moment. Version 12 is scary good, you just have to experience it to get what I’m saying.
It will never ever be Porsche quality.
If there is one thing I’ve learned about Tesla and Elon, never say never…
Model X build quality is a nightmare & definitely not worth the insurance premiums.
These guys are pros at wasting money 😂
Did you watch the video before commenting? We definitely covered the build quality. 🤷♂️
Tesla X - 2 hours of driving and then 30-40 mins of charging - that's dismaying experience...
No fast acceleration feature will compensate for such large losses of time while traveling.
So the battery will degrade quickly. Inconvenient 2nd row door. In essence: expensive car of low resale value - 🤷♂
EDIT - If buying Tesla, I would go for Y.
Well low resale value now due to sky high rates, but during Covid these held up well. The X is a way exotic car and bit more luxury, and frankly for what they cost today I just don’t see why anyone would buy the Y. I mean shoot you can get low mileage X’s for less than a Model Y now pretty easily.
People that film in HDR should not have cameras.
You lost me 🤷♂️
Im so glad Elon got rid of Disney on all teslas, well done!
Ah, I’m not happy about this update. Got a 6 and 8 year old could who care less thankfully about politics on road trips 🤷♂️
@@Driven-Productionsyou be happy when the grow up, don’t let Disney raise your child unless you’re a lib
Disney is still there, clowns.
