After taking the delivery of the Model X Plaid about a month ago, I have lots of thoughts on the good and bad of this car. How does it handle? Are the Falcon Wing Doors a gimmick? Is now a good time to buy? Should you wait? Let's go in-depth on tesla's highest end Model and see if it's worth it!

I’ve had my MX 5 seater for 5 yrs and I’ve had 0 issues with the falcon wing doors and I have 0 regrets buying it. I think the 5 seater is the best for folding the back seat for so much more room. Don’t like in the 6 seater that they don’t fold flat. I do like your videos. Thanks for the videos.
Agreed.
Is the car big? Or is it smaller like the y?
@@AlainaAbila It is bigger than the Y.
mine 4 years very litle has gone wrong1
Do the seats fold flat in the 7 seater? (5 seats won’t do for my family. And the MX is about the only EV with more than 5 seats. )
Model X is more refined, no doubt. None of the negatives detracted me. I have had my 23 Model X for a week now. Love it. Falcon wing doors have worked 100% of the time. Very nice car to drive.
I would hope so after just one week 🤣
Congratulations. I picked up my Ultra Red X on this past Wednesday and big upgrade from my 2018 Model 3
Looking at the Model X because of the falcon doors. My mother is wheelchair bound and I am her caregiver. The falcon doors make it easy to get her into using the lift. Don’t have to worry about hitting her head or bottom while putting her in. Did a 24hr test drive to try them out.
The Model X is my DREAM CAR. But I was stumped on whether to get either a 5 seater or 6 seater and had more questions. Here’s my takes after watching this video
- Getting the standard 5 seater is simply better than the expensive six seater (if I want a 6 seater, I can get the Plaid)
- No autofrunk is total bullshit. Props to Hannshow for giving us the Auto Frunk arm
- No USS is also bullshit. It’s one of the most vital components of any car.
- The doors on the model X are fine.
- In previous years, the spoiler on the model X was retractable. Why it’s not retractable now is beyond my comprehension. Looking at it through a rear view mirror, you can see it does block your view from the back which can be dangerous even though Tesla already has a rear view camera
- The refreshed steering wheel/yoke is nice but there is no center horn (absolute bullshit). Its a good thing the Cybertruck and Model 3 Highland have a center frunk. Hopefully in 2024-2025, Tesla adds this feature alongside the autofrunk
We have owned our 2016 X 6 seater for 7+ years, had cold weather issues and other warranty fixes early on such as falcon doors refusing to open in the cold (with a toddler inside, had to climb through the trunk). The falcon doors were indeed great for getting kids in and out of car seats, but now that our kids are getting out of them we will be switching to a new Y. Expecting fewer issues on a simpler car with years of issues already worked out. Will miss the air suspension though.
The car is more refined, no doubt. None of the negatives detracted me. I had the 2023 Model X for 11 months now and it is great.
The Model X Falcon wing doors have a interior mode so they only open up partially (low mode) after going indoors (garage) and you have to drive over 7mph or go around 100 feet away from your home for the doors to open all the way again, also check your door setting from low to Auto, there use to be a function I was told that would remember location you allowed to have the doors fully open but was taken away in the newer model. There are some exceptions to make the car open up at home. Hope this helps
Have had X Plaid for almost year now, amazing car. Range surprised me positively especially in harsh winter conditions here in Finland. I have not found weather conditions where you could not reach 250 miles or 400 km. And fun side the performance is out of this world 😀
I've had my 2018 used model X P100D for about 6 months now. Many of the issues you stated like auto presenting doors not working aren't a problem on older models. There are trade offs to be sure, but I love this thing.
You missed talking about the driving feel for X vs Y. Air suspension, handling, comfort, etc
I have had my '23 white with white interior 6 seater since August. Had a '20 Model Y and the upgrade to the X is worth the money. Tinted the front windows to match the rears and had the vehicle ceramic coated. Paid for enhanced Autopilot but still not able to autopark or summon because of absence of ultrasonic sensors. Apparently the software will be released soon, but that doesn't soothe the $6000.00 cost upfront. Otherwise I am happy with the air suspension ride versus the Y , and the immense upgrade in power.
I’m ordering an X at the end of this month - red, black interior, round wheel (yokes are great in planes, not in cars turning on corners or round-about), non-plaid - insane acceleration in an SUV seems a tad extreme, and a standard five seat configuration. Your channel has been a help, along with Tesla’s extreme price drop.
Don’t wait , Tesla will increase price without any warning. I would put in an order right away and anyway it won’t be delivered before December. You can also see if there is special offer like free supercharging etc in the month of December. Worst case You will lose 250$ but price could go up to 10-20k more. Why take the risk of you have already decided to get.
I ordered the same config, 5 seater on Sept 13th…. still no VIN yet.
@@sakthishrajendran4264Try March! I ordered in late October and delivery date kept changing. Keep looking on inventory. I was able to find my configuration about three hours from my house. Picked up last week. Amazing car
@@StBernardFan fuck. Ordered one in October it was supposed to be delivered December. No its Dec 19-January 30th. Really need to buy it this year for a write off.
Hahaha
And now it’s worth $64k at base price
Yes, the yoke is great on S and X(I've had for a year on my S) and gets better with time. Would like to see improvements you've pointed out before switching to X.
I have a '21 MY LR and I've had no issues. I needed to replace the tires at about 15K, which was way too early in my opinion considering regular car tires last 60K. The brakes are still brand new, no problems. The cabin air filters need replacement constantly due to a vinegar smell. The repair tech stated that this is a design flaw in the Y? Not sure about that. But, after watching this video, I'm on the fence as to upgrading to a MX now. Falcon wings not opening or may have parts that break that cause them not to open? Huh? For the price, wow, thought this would not be an issue.
My issue with the falcon doors is when it's raining hard you're getting drenched and so is the interior.
I’d just go for the Tesla mobile connector. It’s honestly very under rated.
I own a model since 2016 and I so enjoy this car. The door have given me no problem. They work as well as when the car was new. I also own a new model S so I don't use the X as much as before. There is no other electric car on the market that even comes close to the performance and reliability of these Tesla's. As you say, nothing is perfect but I am always amazed at the Tesla every time I get in it. Also mine is a 6 seater and I have no complaints with that. It is a little difficult but I almost never adjust them! Please give credit where credit is due. Tesla changed the industry in a way I would have never believed. It will be a while before the competition catches up. (good video)
Now that you’ve had it for a while, how does the suspension compare? I don’t like the bone-jarringly stiff suspension on the Model Y. Is the X noticeably plusher?
We love our X fantastic road trip family suv. Accessory we love is the xrack bags that fit perfect in the rear subtrunk, they allow you to maximize that space on a road trip if you need all 6 seats.
I’ve been enjoying my MY since late March. There are definitely some great “refinements” as you mention, but I’m pretty happy. The suspension is my big complaint. I just signed up for your newsletter.
I am waiting for my first Model Y to arrive next week, but I appreciate your honesty regarding your experiences with the Model X.
I hope you can help, I am debating whether should I buy now or wait until next year. I am sure you must have done your research before ordering. I am planning to Buy Model Y. Please let me know what made you purchase this year rather than wait until next year. Thanks
@@khanmali68 I bought it now because I currently drive a 2019 MX-5 (that I absolutely love) but will garage for the winter. Also, my new job location will not allow me to use my wife's car (as I had before). Although the the Model Y might decrease further in price, I decided to purchase at the current reduced price and to take delivery in calendar year 2023 to take advantage of the $7,500 tax incentives (who knows what will happen in 2024 to Model Y pricing and tax incentives). Ultimately, my situation was unique to me. I could have bought a beater car to get me through the winter, but I did that one year and hated the experience and the associated costs. Truth be told, I would have waited for the new Model Y if I could have, but I simply could not. Regardless, the test drive sealed the deal for me, so I'm happy to buy the current Model Y. I suspect you have also been performing your due diligence. My advice to you is to determine whether you are willing to take the risk of uncertainty (i.e., tax incentives changing, revised pricing of new Model Y, specific changes to styling, and possible changes to features (steering wheel stalks being removed?) or if your okay with the certainly the current model provides with the take breaks offered regardless of the new bells and whistles that will undoubtedly come with the new Model Y. Good Luck to you.
Do you have vibration 40 to 52mph light throttle goes away when lifting. I have a 23 x plaid same color im told engineering is working on it lie. Thanks
Yoke is better on S/X - it doesn't make sense on 3/Y as there isn't a driver screen to block.
Also, Yoke is better for resting your hand comfortably for AP/FSD
Just traded my model y for x. From a quality and refinedment perspective, kind of like going from a Toyota to a Lexus. Totally different class of vehicle
Got a model X a few weeks ago as well. Unfortunately, I have not had the same luck as you with the Falcon Wing Doors. My sensors fail quite a bit, and the doors will ignore all obstacles when this happens. Worse, this did actually result in my daughter getting hit in the head by the doors. It's also super frustrating because when the sensors aren't working it's hard to notice until the doors open or close faster and just ignore all obstacles. The motor won't push through something, but it still hit her in the head with enough force to leave a bump. The door sensors work properly 90% of the time, but you never quite know when you're in that 10% state. Hopefully Tesla gets that fixed...
Regarding the front door self presenting, I actually think they will get this figured out. Perhaps you haven't noticed the same thing, but when I open the front door after popping it out, if there is an obstacles that the door would hit while I'm opening it, the motor actually fights me to stop me from opening the door. It stops just before it would have hit the obstacle, but then if I keep pushing I can push through it. I have not felt this same resistance on the passenger door, just the driver door. I notice this primarily because where I park in my garage there is usually an obstacle that my door would hit if I tried to open it all the way. To me, if they can make that work, they can make the full self presenting feature work again.
Bottom line, the car is absolutely amazing. I love driving it, but the falcon wing door issues are super frustrating.
I think tesla removed USS on model x and s. Thats why your falcon doors aren’t accurate. Hopefully they bring them back soon
@@lermabeats5158 they left the USS sensors in the falcon wing doors. They removed them from the front doors. My falcon wing doors have since been fixed, the techs said it was an issue caused by overspray during paint. They replaced the USS modules and so far everything has been working great.
@@JohnEFly thanks for the info!
The model x is the best car tesla has ever made like no issues with the falcon wing doors has not crashed any of the doors in the wall or anything best car ever and no regrets buying it
For all MX peeps. I’m considering upgrading from the Y to the X. Does the “noise cancellation system work? Is there an aftermarket yoke available? Do you use the extra power? Is it a lot more space? Does the 6 seat config give you a lot more space since they dont fold properly?
This video answers all of those questions
It depends on if you have a family or if you want a bigger SUV. I have no complaints about this SUV at all. Love it.
I’d like to see some of the new features from the Cyber Truck come to the model X. Like the 48 V architecture and especially the bilateral charging feature. What are your thoughts?
Does it have ambient lighting?
How does the suspension feel? Is it updated?
Test driving a LR X this weekend. We are possibly moving up from our LR Y but those finicky Falcon doors have me worried. If the X doesn’t blow us away we will probably end up ordering a Model Y Performance for $27k less. Our 2021 Model Y with 48k miles has been bulletproof.
Looks like the comments says it all in a positive way.
It’s great to have when you have kids &/or when you have elderly parents living with you.
***I have both
Did they fix the front doors after the new camera update?
The doors could easily detect if there was someone or something in the way using tesla vision and the blind spot camera alongside the b pillar camera, and thats what makes it so frustrating is that it could so easily work but it just doesnt, hopefully though after a few more months of testing, Tesla will enable the feature
Great video I feel like none of the downsides come close to maintaining and ice car, which I do I’m having to decide between a used Model or anew Model Y performance the bench seats are more comfortable and functional to me than the captain seats
I'm about to trade-in my M3 for an X. So I'm in the same situation of 'watching every youtube video I can find' about the Mx. Loving the video so far! I kinda wished the video was beating less around the bush by going straight to the point and showed more of (or only) the car. In any case, thanks for making the video.
just took delivery of a red one this past saturday . worth every $$$ ...
on point with round steering wheel, tx for the video
Was thinking of getting an X because it's supposed to be a better Y. But now knowing the stories about the FWD and the fact that I'm planning to import it to a country not supported by Tesla, made me think twice and might just wait for the Model Y Juniper. Simpler car overall.
i don't get it, why the FWD still cause issues, since the car has been out for like 7 years? no way fixing it in the production?
The yolk is fine, but I much prefer the stalks.
Those doors look amazing but big issues over time wallet burners
Anyone have model y performance wants to upgrade, go for plaid model x. Though it costs more , it will be a huge upgrade from model y. I mean You get a 1000 HP car under 100k. An suv that can smoke hyper cars like lambo or Ferrari.
This is the same dealership that I picked up my model X plaid in lol!
That's a 8 years old design, what a future forward thinking.
Had a X on order but ended up going with MYP. The doors is what changed my mind. I live 200 miles away from a service center and was afraid the doors could be an issue. I think I'll have fewer issues with the Y so I went that direction. Spending $25K more for a vehicle I'd potentially have more problems with didn't add up to me. If I lived closer to a service center I probably would have stayed with the X. The auto presenting doors not working was a bummer as well. I really like the X and understand why people love them, but this video made me feel even better about my choice. Both great vehicles!! MYP just works better for my needs.
Good common sense, Good Luck!
Best tesla you tube guy. Love your reviews and updates
Very kind of you, thanks!
I have S X and Ys. S/X is more premium and more spacious, air suspension. However Y is the best Tesla overall-value, safety, right sized, utility, modern design/manufacturing. Y Performance is awesome. With tax credits Y is a great value. If you are larger or transport 4-7 people regularly then X makes sense. If you are mid/smaller size (height weight) and carry 4 or less total passengers Y should do fine fire way less. I’d rather have Y with FSD than X without.
My old X has full self presenting doors the original chrome pedestal 3 seat split mid row with easy entry into rear seating-great features now gone.
What about your S? I love mine but considering an X
If you really need the space-6 it 7 passenger then X makes sense but Y is more efficient, easier to drive and park and feels high quality for alot Less. For 4 person or Less the Y is a great vehicle. Add FSD and it’s still alot Less than X. If you have a business to write off X then makes sense.
S is great buy Y is comfortable for passengers (rear seat backs recline) and seats higher. Y performance is great-firm but comfortable
We need a Model X without the Falcon Wing doors and $10K less expensive! I would love to upgrade from my Model Y to the X but those FW doors have to go! The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze, IMHO.
In a 7 sweater opening the 3rd sitrow is easyer
Looking into buying a Model X plaid for my wife....it will be our first Tesla vehicle...but still not sure if we should get it with a steering wheel or the yoke steering... 😅
Have her drive both!
I ordered my model x plaid in September, but still yet to receive it… does anyone already received it who ordered in September
Liked and subscribed. I have the 2016 model x. I want to upgrade but will
Im looking to buy a 2016 model x with 70k miles (its whats within my budget) but because of the year im hesitant. Have you had many issues with the falcon wing doors?
I want a 2020 model x
Paint options no longer free?
Not anymore unfortunately
Those Eagle Doors are Stupid cuz it won't open in my narrow driveway
or People who live in Apartments or narrow Garages, it's not going to work
oh we getting the model X!
interior starting to look dated, especially with all the new EVs coming in 24
Those gullwing doors should be placed in the front driver/passenger doors. It's like having a 4 door lambo sedan/suv with scissor doors in the rear. LOL. Might as well get suicide doors.
100K car and the doors can't even open properly? Thanks for saving me from this waste.
You talked me out of it. Thx
Driver door…. Deal breaker…
Thank you for the honest and fantastic video. I’m pretty sure that I won’t be buying the X.
Sure, Homelink is worth $108,000.
I like the model y best
Me too
Yes if I could afford to buy it I would
Rear wing doors seriously the dumbest thing I seen yet. I could understand a all in one both front and back but just the rear. Yeah what a pile I give it a half of star
Team yolk but give us stalks!
Spare parts and accessories so expensive in the world Tesla!
The S3XY buttons guys are working on aftermarket stalks.
I had a Model X loaner, I couldnt wait to get my Model 3 back!
@@RosenfeldYTonNicegram 🤡
12V plug? WTH are you talking about? 7:15. This guys is clueless
nah, Elon will probably screw Tesla buyers (again) by keep dropping the price…
Musk must produce a certain amount of cars per factory, economies of scale so he has to discount cars at certain times.
Sure, make sense to stop innovating to make you happy... If you don't understand how innovation work, go back to a horse.

Ew don’t review cars and say “quirks and features” smh
This whole video sounds like a
Copy of every video
We know it's a just a male ego car and men buy it for the falcon door to look cool. The car also looks dated.
Get my X next week ö, than I know more
