TL;DR Summary: Autogefühl thoroughly tests the updated Tesla Model X Plaid, highlighting its mind-bending 1,020 hp acceleration, improved animal-free cabin materials, and refined air suspension, balanced against the polarizing yoke steering wheel and touchscreen-dependent controls.
Key Pros 👍
- Staggering Plaid tri-motor powertrain producing over 1,000 horsepower with effortless Autobahn acceleration „overall more than a more than thousand horsepower of power output will also then tell you later more about the acceleration in the driving part” ▶️ 00:01:58
- Substantially refined ride quality courtesy of standard adaptive air suspension compared to Model Y „suspension is definitely good to have it and it's better than the model y like 100 times better than the model y way of don't when you don't have air suspension” ▶️ 00:27:58
- Upgraded animal-free interior with premium perforated seats and effective seat ventilation „seats here now perforated once again and that means also the seat cooling is available and this perforation here looks cool it feels really nice and this is a very good soft quality so improve the build quality here as well” ▶️ 00:11:53
- Well-calibrated active noise cancellation providing high cabin silence without an unnatural vacuum sensation „it is very very sign in here um but they haven't integrated in such a strong way that you would have this strong vacuum effect next week next to your ear so I think so far it's it's fine” ▶️ 00:28:53
Key Cons 👎
- Yoke steering wheel proves awkward and cumbersome during parking and multi-point city maneuvering „so for parking in and out I would definitely prefer a normal steering wheel that you can you know a better grab around and so on um yeah that doesn't feel that good” ▶️ 00:24:42
- Elimination of indicator and gear stalks in favor of touch controls degrades tactile ergonomic usability „visually that everything is reduced with no store columns and so on that that's actually also a cool thing in a way but it also reduces once again physical interaction with the car” ▶️ 00:26:16
- Violent silent acceleration can induce nausea and dizziness even for the driver „it is one of these vehicles because it's so extreme in the acceleration that it tends to make you a little bit sick even though when you're the driver usually it's just the problem of the passenger” ▶️ 00:21:31
- Larger 22-inch wheels transmit noticeable harshness over smaller road imperfections „with a 22 inch wheels that's with every brand when you have these extremely large Wheels you feel these small bumps in the road a little bit more so for more Comfort I would advise to stick with the small 20 inch wheels” ▶️ 00:28:06
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Plaid reasserts itself as a hyper-SUV benchmark with staggering tri-motor performance, advanced thermal efficiency via its new heat pump, and notably upgraded cabin comfort, though living with the controversial yoke steering and completely stalkless ergonomics remains an acquired taste.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X Plaid shocks by defeating a £3.5M Koenigsegg Agera RS in the standing quarter-mile with an effortless 10.2-second launch, although the hypercar's massive power-to-weight advantage and ceramic brakes eventually prevail at extreme triple-digit speeds.
Key Pros 👍
- Staggering tri-motor launch traction propels this 2.5-ton family SUV across the quarter-mile in 10.2 seconds, narrowly edging out a bespoke hypercar. „the slow motion action replay reveals that the Tesla won by the narrowest of margins but both it and the Kix egg crossed the line in 10.2 seconds” ▶️ 00:08:29
- Plug-and-play launch repeatability delivers instant maximum power without the nervous temperament or fragile clutch mechanics of mechanical exotics. „I'm glad that I'm in this plaid which isn't frightening at all... Porsche with the launch strategy where it just does it all day every day no problems at all or Tesla” ▶️ 00:02:13
- Unmatched real-world capability pairs world-beating acceleration with a comfortable, spacious family crossover interior. „it also needs to be able to be what is effectively a fridge on Wheels which is what I'm driving now... it's a good family car actually” ▶️ 00:02:28
- Pound-for-pound performance value is astonishing, matching multi-million pound exotics for roughly a thirtieth of their purchase price. „it costs from just under 100 127,000... the KX Agera RS costs £3.5 million” ▶️ 00:00:58
Key Cons 👎
- A hefty 2,468 kg curb weight burdens the chassis in braking challenges and high-speed transient maneuvers. „the car does weigh in at 2,468 kg so it's a bit Porky” ▶️ 00:00:52
- Top-end acceleration tapers off beyond 150 mph where aerodynamic drag and single-speed gearing allow high-power exotics to reel it in. „once it's properly rolling like past 150 it's really starts ripping... given enough space I will come past you” ▶️ 00:10:45
- High-speed 100 mph emergency braking performance is hampered by standard iron brakes arresting immense vehicle momentum. „I absolutely smash these brakes and yeah Teslas aren't known for their braking capabilities and there you go” ▶️ 00:14:08
- Maintaining peak launch performance requires strict battery preconditioning, dropping out of readiness if pack temperature falls. „the only thing that concerns me about it is if the battery gets a bit too cold then I slip out of drag race mode” ▶️ 00:02:17
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Plaid demonstrates mind-blowing launch traction and repeatable 10.2-second quarter-mile speed against a £3.5M Koenigsegg, though substantial curb weight and high-speed aero drag inevitably favor the hypercar at extreme velocity.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X 100D secures a decisive clean sweep over the twin-turbo diesel Audi SQ7 in standing quarter-mile acceleration, instant 50 mph rolling kick-down, and 70 mph emergency braking, although its six-figure price tag and top-end speed tapering remain minor drawbacks.
Key Pros 👍
- Instant single-speed torque delivery leaves the multi-gear turbocharged diesel V8 hopelessly behind during 50 mph rolling acceleration. „oh my gosh it's leaving it for dead that's because the Tesla has just one forward gear so it's always ready to go while the electric motor delivers maximum pulling power immediately” ▶️ 00:03:38
- Out-launches and edges out the performance diesel SQ7 across the quarter-mile with an effortless 13.4-second elapsed time. „the Tesla model xed A4 Mile in 13.4 seconds and crossed the Finish Line at 102 mph the Audi took 13.5 seconds” ▶️ 00:01:03
- Surprises in 70 mph emergency braking tests by stopping shorter than the Audi SQ7 despite the German car's £8,000 carbon ceramic brake option. „wasn't expecting that all look at that what's that 3 m 2 m 3 m well the Tesla broke in the shortest distance and with that the Tesla claims another win and a clean sweep in every test” ▶️ 00:05:57
- Validates official claims with a real-world measured 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and 0-100 mph in 11.6 seconds. „so was Tesla right not to 60 4.9 seconds and not to 100 11.6 seconds” ▶️ 00:02:08
Key Cons 👎
- The Audi registers a higher terminal trap speed across the quarter-mile (106 mph vs 102 mph), showing stronger high-speed pull. „the Audi took 13.5 seconds but interestingly was doing 106 mph when it crossed the line” ▶️ 00:01:09
- Base purchase price commands a hefty premium, sitting roughly £20,000 higher than the equivalent Audi SQ7. „the Tesla Model x100d cost from just over £90,000 this one with options is actually £ 104,000... this Audi sq7 it starts from £ 71,000” ▶️ 00:01:21
- A substantial 2,450 kg curb weight exceeds the combustion Audi by over 120 kilograms. „The Tesla weighs 2,450 kg while the Audi 2330 kg” ▶️ 00:05:22
- Abrupt full-power acceleration hits without warning and can easily induce passenger motion sickness. „doesn't feel quite as intense as the Tesla that's my 60 M hour there... let's break hard my God that's going to make me feel a bit sick” ▶️ 00:02:46
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X 100D proves comprehensively superior to the Audi SQ7 in everyday performance, achieving a clean sweep in standing acceleration, rolling overtakes, and emergency braking despite its higher price.

TL;DR Summary: Put through punishing off-road trials against a nimble Fiat Panda 4x4, the Tesla Model X exhibits remarkably smooth low-speed electric torque modulation and generous air suspension clearance, but its long wheelbase, road-focused tires, and 2.5-ton mass cause it to ground out on technical crests.
Key Pros 👍
- Smooth, instantaneous electric torque distribution crawls up loose inclines with progressive throttle precision and zero drivetrain clatter. „for control the tesla had more wheels on the ground it was a slower and easier drive... lifting the wheels up in the air you're a nice height on the ground and as you level out it just pulls forward straight away so smooth” ▶️ 00:13:19
- Multi-height adjustable air suspension can elevate ground clearance up to 220 mm for traversing rocks and uneven rutted surfaces. „this has got air suspension and you can raise it up and you can see look very low six inches low 6.7 inches standard 7.5 high is 8.3 inches and then very high 220 millimeters” ▶️ 00:09:38
- The structural underfloor battery pack provides extraordinary torsional rigidity, allowing doors to operate seamlessly even when cross-axled. „door open fine... because these are monocoque chassis so the body actually adds to the strength of the car they should be fine” ▶️ 00:12:28
- Dual electric drive motors deliver massive torque reserves on demand whenever all four tires find mechanical traction. „it's got two electric motors and combined they produce 417 horsepower and 660 newton meters of torque” ▶️ 00:00:45
Key Cons 👎
- A long passenger wheelbase compromises breakover angles, causing the underfloor battery to high-center and ground out over steep mounds. „breakover angle now i ground out this sounds bad sorry james sorry james... clearly got a very bad breakover angle... because it's a longer wheelbase than the the panda okay and that's why it bottomed out” ▶️ 00:14:23
- Fitting 22-inch road tires with fragile sidewalls severely limits off-tarmac purchase and increases the risk of wheel damage on sharp rocks. „this has got like high performance road tires on it so if we'd had some better tires we might have got away with that... it's just the tire won't hold it” ▶️ 00:10:58
- Traction control software intervenes too abruptly upon detecting wheelspin, choking off momentum when trying to scramble up slippery banks. „once it starts to slip it seems to really cut the power to the wheels and so it got a slow start” ▶️ 00:03:38
- A massive 2.5-ton curb weight and large 12.4-meter turning circle make tight, rutted trails cumbersome to negotiate without sliding. „i can just feel the weight of this thing you know two and a half tons... turning circle is 12.4 meters” ▶️ 00:05:01
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X offers commendable electric torque metering and generous air suspension lift, but excessive curb weight, road-biased tires, and a long wheelbase prevent it from being a genuine technical off-roader.

TL;DR Summary: Pitted against the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS, the Tesla Model X triumphs on instantaneous rolling acceleration, advanced driver assistance, and theatrical Falcon Wing door practicality, but trails its German luxury competitors in cabin craftsmanship, highway hush, and third-row adult headroom.
Key Pros 👍
- Instant electric throttle response delivers crushing 50 mph rolling acceleration that leaves combustion luxury SUVs hopelessly behind. „oh my god look at that tesla go he just took off... if that was on a road i needed to get past the tesla i just wouldn't not at legal speeds... no gearbox to trouble me just went” ▶️ 00:02:37
- Tesla's Autopilot lane centering navigates complex roadworks and faded markings with superior confidence compared to traditional German driver aids. „one thing that i really do like about this tesla though is the automatic cruise control system... it can really spot when you're in weird conditions such as going past road works or the lines are a faded it just seems a little bit better” ▶️ 00:23:13
- Falcon Wing doors create massive walk-in aperture openings that make installing child seats substantially easier than standard swinging doors. „falcon doors yet again paying dividends making it very easy to get the seat in and into place see they don't only look good they are very very practical as well” ▶️ 00:18:00
- Floorboard battery packaging provides a low center of gravity, delivering sharper cornering and less body roll than bulky German rivals. „because the batteries are mounted low down in the car it has a low centre of gravity so it actually goes through corners better than you may expect a car looking like this could” ▶️ 00:22:21
Key Cons 👎
- The swept-back aerodynamic roofline pinches third-row headroom, making the rearmost seats far less accommodating for adults than the boxier GLS or X7. „here in the very back of the tesla it feels the most cramped it's livable even with someone sat in each row knee room is okay the biggest problem is headroom... adults not so much” ▶️ 00:17:09
- Acoustic isolation at motorway speeds transmits higher levels of tire hiss and wind turbulence than the whisper-quiet German flagships. „the sound insulation isn't as good as in the german so you hear more tyre noise and a bit more wind noise as well when you're going quicker” ▶️ 00:22:34
- Suspension calibration feels noticeably firmer and interior trim panel tolerances lack the handcrafted solidity found in the BMW and Mercedes. „the suspension is firmer so you feel bumps a bit more... not quite as well put together as the two germans this bit doesn't even fit properly” ▶️ 00:21:58
- Enthusiastic driving and highway cruising deplete battery range rapidly, yielding real-world mileage well below official estimates. „tesla says it's called do 314 miles on a full charge but based on that amount of energy consumption i'm only going to get about 188 miles” ▶️ 00:22:58
🎯 Verdict: While the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS offer superior third-row adult space and plush acoustic luxury, the Tesla Model X wins over tech-focused buyers with its futuristic theater, instant torque response, and clever Falcon doors.

TL;DR Summary: Saabkyle04 delivers a comprehensive deep-dive into the 2016 Tesla Model X P90D Signature with Ludicrous Mode, praising its roller-coaster 3.2-second 0-60 acceleration, flat-cornering low center of gravity, and panoramic windshield, while highlighting non-folding middle seats and a steep six-figure price tag.
Key Pros 👍
- Brutal Ludicrous Mode acceleration launching the 2.5-ton SUV from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds „with the new $10,000 Ludicrous Speed upgrade for the p90d the model X is able to accelerate to 60 M an hour in a blistering 3.2 seconds down from 3.8 seconds in a standard p90d and pass a/4 Mile in 11.7 seconds” ▶️ 00:05:17
- Structural floor battery yields an 18-inch center of gravity that virtually eliminates body roll „the typical limitations of physics for something like this including body roll Squat and dive aren't as apparent as you think it's surprisingly agile and always felt planted to the ground Round In general the model X Corners pretty flat” ▶️ 00:03:22
- Dual-hinged Falcon Wing doors navigate tight parking spots requiring just 11.8 inches of clearance „each door is actuated by two sets of hinges this allows the doors to not only open but to fold as necessary where that really comes into play as in tight parking spaces and garages a myriad of sensors monitor the surroundings and determine how much space the doors have to swing out and then adjust accordingly Tesla claims the doors only need 11.8 in of clearance to fully open” ▶️ 00:10:48
- Expansive panoramic glass windshield provides an unprecedented, airy upward field of view „easily the coolest design element of the entire vehicle is the windshield it's the largest piece of curved glass ever used in an automobile giving the front occupants a breathtaking panoramic view” ▶️ 00:19:01
Key Cons 👎
- Sculpted middle-row pedestal seats cannot fold flat, restricting total maximum cargo loading volume „since the middle row seats do not fold flat you can't store anything else up to the front otherwise General space doesn't seem to change between the five and seven passenger versions” ▶️ 00:39:08
- Exorbitant purchase price starting at $115,500 for the P90D before expensive performance options „the p90d starts at $115,500 all before available tax credits” ▶️ 00:08:20
- Low-profile rubber on optional 22-inch wheels introduces noticeable suspension firmness „the 22s will lead to a firmer ride with the tire smaller sidewalls but they look fantastic in person it really boils down to personal preference” ▶️ 00:14:11
- Rearward visibility through the narrow hatch window is restricted by fixed middle and rear headrests „you can fold the third row headrest down to get that better visibility it's still hindered just a little bit because of the middle row you have to fix headrest right here” ▶️ 00:37:19
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X P90D Signature establishes a new paradigm for high-performance family transport with supercar-shaming 3.2-second acceleration, revolutionary panoramic outward visibility, and unmatched chassis stability, although non-folding middle seats and a lofty six-figure price tag temper its utilitarian value.

TL;DR Summary: Carbuyer reviews the Tesla Model X as a visionary seven-seat family luxury SUV, praising its intelligent double-hinged Falcon Wing doors, expansive panoramic windscreen, and stress-free Supercharger trip planning, balanced against compromised third-row adult space and an expensive purchase price.
Key Pros 👍
- Double-hinged Falcon Wing doors articulate intelligently in tight parking spaces to simplify child loading „they work out the best angle to open up if you're in a tight parking space cells slide elegantly upwards and will stop when they need to or will open gracefully fully as extended wing style if you've got more space” ▶️ 00:01:16
- Largest curved automotive windscreen in production delivers an airy, futuristic driving environment „you have this enormous panoramic windscreen it's the largest glass windscreen in production and it arches back up over your head opening up to the sky above” ▶️ 00:02:41
- Intelligent live Supercharger routing displays stall availability and calculates arrival battery percentage „what you can do is actually set your destination in and it will work out how much charge you're going to have left at the end of that journey and if you want to know where the nearest supercharging points are there you go brings them up for me” ▶️ 00:04:05
- Floor-mounted battery architecture suppresses body roll and delivers immediate dual-motor AWD traction „with those huge batteries comes weight and a low center of gravity which actually makes the Model X feel pretty good to drive we get very little as the body roll you often find them in SUV” ▶️ 00:07:02
Key Cons 👎
- Third-row seating space is heavily restricted and suitable predominantly for young children „the back row is probably best suited to the smaller members of the family or smaller adults” ▶️ 00:02:07
- Substantial financial barrier to entry costing significantly more than established premium combustion crossovers „of course all this technology doesn't come cheap then you could buy any number of luxury SUVs for less than a Model X or two Land Rover Discovery sports and still have changed” ▶️ 00:08:45
- Rearward visibility is severely obstructed by solid seat backs and elevated rear headrests „rear visibility with the seven-seat model isn't that great well that's due to the solid shape of the seeds and also the positioning of the back Rome but you can have a constant feed from the cameras coming through here” ▶️ 00:07:19
- Electric power steering setup delivers very muted road feel and tactile communication „while the steering doesn't give much feedback the electrical wheel drive system digitally controls the power meaning there's plenty of grip” ▶️ 00:07:09
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X successfully bridges the gap between sci-fi concept car and genuine family workhorse with effortless Supercharging, brilliant double-hinged Falcon doors, and flat-handling electric pace, even if its rear cabin packaging and steep price tag demand serious financial commitment.

TL;DR Summary: Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained details five objective engineering reasons why the Tesla Model X P100D excels as a luxury SUV, spotlighting vibration-free instant electric torque, superior sprung-to-unsprung ride damping, positive-pressure Bioweapon Defense air filtration, and structural rollover immunity.
Key Pros 👍
- Completely seamless, shift-free electric powertrain delivering silent, immediate torque with zero lag „so acceleration is always perfectly smooth it's quiet and because it's electric you get instant torque the second you put your foot down you don't wait for shifting or turbo lag or any of those things you get all of it immediately” ▶️ 00:02:56
- High sprung-to-unsprung weight ratio substantially mitigates road shock transmission for a plush ride „because that ratio is so off any little impact on that wheel plays less of a role than if the car were lighter so think about if you had a 2,000 pound car and a hundred pound wheel so that wheel hitting a bump and then sending that hundred pound force up is going to have a much greater effect on that light weight car than it will on this very heavy core” ▶️ 00:05:26
- Medical-grade HEPA filtration system with positive-pressure Bioweapon Defense Mode seals out exterior pollution „it also has what they call a bio weapon defense mode and so it uses that filtration system pulls in air and creates a positive pressure on the vehicle itself so you don't have random air seeping in from the different sides” ▶️ 00:07:34
- Underfloor 100 kWh battery architecture yields exceptional structural rigidity and minimal rollover risk „five-star crash test rating very low probability of rolling over thanks to having the battery beneath the car so an extremely low center of gravity and as a result this greatly decreases the probability that the vehicle would roll” ▶️ 00:08:13
Key Cons 👎
- Long-distance highway travel requires planned 30-minute Supercharger dwell times compared to quick fuel stops „and yes it takes 30 minutes to get 170 miles of range with a Tesla supercharger so not ideal versus a gasoline car for road trips” ▶️ 00:09:39
- Substantial 5,500-pound curb weight naturally compromises mechanical braking and cornering agility „and usually I would say weight is a terrible thing because for acceleration for braking for cornering you don't want weight and yet somehow this 5,500 pound vehicle is able to accelerate to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds” ▶️ 00:04:32
- Minimalist interior finish lacks the artisanal leather richness and subjective indulgence of traditional luxury flagships „subjective being if you're sitting in the back seat and you want great materials real nice feeling something that emotionally makes you calm relaxed happy all those things and you're sitting in the back seat perhaps a Mercedes s-class or you know a rolls-royce is the way to go” ▶️ 00:01:08
🎯 Verdict: Engineering Explained makes a compelling case that the Tesla Model X redefines automotive luxury through objective engineering principles, offering seamless single-speed electric thrust, superior impact absorption, and hospital-grade air filtration, even if its heavy weight and cabin materials lack old-world coachbuilt opulence.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X Performance shocks by matching a £180,000 Nissan GT-R NISMO to an identical 11.9-second quarter-mile in adverse weather conditions, although its 2.6-ton bulk and single-speed electric drivetrain concede high-speed rolling pull.
Key Pros 👍
- Dual-motor electric all-wheel drive delivers foolproof, slip-free all-weather launch traction, matching a dedicated track supercar across the quarter-mile. „when the weather's bad that nismo is only just slightly quicker over the quarter mile than this big family-friendly eco-friendly suv... both cars did the standing quarter mile in 11.9 seconds” ▶️ 00:04:01
- Cheetah stance launch programming dynamically drops the front suspension to optimize weight transfer and initial holeshots. „obviously you've got a launch control mode with a certain cheetah stance so the car actually kind of like positions it suspension i don't like it's ready to bounce” ▶️ 00:00:28
- Instant electric motor torque yields an immediate rolling reaction advantage that puts the combustion car into an early deficit. „this obviously took off quicker instant power from your electric motor” ▶️ 00:04:37
- Presents extraordinary performance value by delivering near-supercar standing sprint figures for £80,000 less than the Nissan. „starts from 180 000 pounds it's very rare specialist track focused car... 101 thousand pounds” ▶️ 00:00:46
Key Cons 👎
- A massive 2.6-ton curb weight creates immense physical inertia that hampers sustained high-speed acceleration. „it's quite heavy though for a bouncy thing weighs in at 2.6 tons” ▶️ 00:00:34
- On extended half-mile runs, the twin-turbocharged sports car comfortably overhauls the electric crossover once on boost. „i've just been dusted to the half mile wow the pickup on that nismo is nuts isn't it an absolute rocket ship” ▶️ 00:05:42
- When the battery depletes below nominal thresholds, available peak power throttles back noticeably. „i'm at 57 miles of range there which it's not brilliant so i'm not getting the full power” ▶️ 00:06:38
- Single-speed transmission ratios produce diminishing acceleration returns at triple-digit speeds compared to geared performance cars. „i was quicker off the line as you'd expect from an electric car but i thought i could hold on to the quarter mile but i think you just came past me” ▶️ 00:03:47
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Performance astounds by matching a £180,000 Nissan GT-R NISMO across the quarter-mile in adverse weather, though heavy weight and high-speed gearing limitations show in extended rolling races.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X proves to be a masterclass in electric SUV practicality, featuring effortless child-seat access via huge Falcon Wing openings, an expansive flat cabin floor, and a generous 187-liter frunk, although the gullwing doors eliminate second-row door pockets.
Key Pros 👍
- Towering Falcon Wing door openings provide unmatched headroom and access, making child-seat installation and rear passenger ingress effortless. „the model X is the easiest car to get into the back those falcon wings don't just look cool but they mean that the door openings are enormous so even a bulky child seat is dead easy to fit into the second row” ▶️ 00:01:11
- A completely flat floorpan eliminates footwell intrusion and ensures abundant legroom across the entire second row. „new room is generous too across the whole row and the floor is completely flat so you won't have to play footsie with your fellow passengers to find space for your feet” ▶️ 00:00:41
- The third row provides adult-viable head and knee room that outperforms established luxury rivals like the Audi Q7. „in fact the third row of the Tesla Model X is actually better than an Audi Q7 though not quite as spacious as that you'll find in the new Land Rover Discovery” ▶️ 00:01:03
- A sizable 187-liter front trunk adds valuable weather-sealed cargo versatility for golf bags and charging cables. „the model X's front boot measures 187 L and importantly you can fit a set of golf clubs in there plus a couple of soft bags” ▶️ 00:07:16
Key Cons 👎
- Because the Falcon Wing doors articulate skyward, the second row completely lacks door storage pockets or bottle holders. „the second row doesn't get any at all because all of your stuff would fall out when you open those Falcon doors” ▶️ 00:02:48
- Pedestal-mounted second-row seats on early build configurations cannot be folded down flat, hindering maximum cargo versatility. „this particular model X is an early model and its middle row seats doesn't have seat backs which fall flat” ▶️ 00:01:55
- The structural roof spine housing the door hinges pinches headroom slightly for the middle passenger in the second row. „middle seat passengers get their own individual seat and although Headroom is a little bit tighter because of the mechanism for the Falcon Wing doors there's still enough room for six Footers” ▶️ 00:00:32
- The forward lower console storage cubby is slightly cramped and cannot comfortably lay flat a modern plus-sized smartphone. „there's also another cubby which contains a 12volt socket and two USB ports but it's not quite big enough for a large smartphone” ▶️ 00:02:40
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X stands out as a supremely practical three-row electric SUV, providing unmatched child-seat access, a deep 187-liter frunk, and genuine adult seven-seater comfort, despite missing rear door pockets.

- New heat pump thermal management minimizes the winter highway range penalty „model X get the heat pump now and that's why we also don't have a bad effect now here in in winter so this heat pump system reduces the difference between summer and winter range and of these electric vehicles so a very good feature to have” ▶️ 01:14:04
Key Cons 👎
- Radical removal of physical stalks in favor of all-screen touch control detracts from driving ergonomics „also the user interface is the most unique one since the recent facelift with almost everything in that one screen and even without a stalk column and so on” ▶️ 03:30:58
- Substantially higher price tag than newer full-size three-row rivals like the Kia EV9 „however meanwhile they have got a lot of competition in this very segment so if you consider everything together all thing that the Kia ev9 will be less expensive especially if you take equipment into account” ▶️ 03:34:52
- Complex motorized Falcon Wing doors remain ostentatious and potentially awkward in low-clearance settings „the Tesla Model X of course with the most screaming out layout with these Falcon Wing doors” ▶️ 00:00:16
🎯 Verdict: In a competitive field of premium seven-seat electric haulers, the Tesla Model X Plaid remains unmatched in raw tri-motor horsepower and Supercharger convenience, yet its steep asking price and idiosyncratic, stalkless yoke controls concede ground to more rounded luxury and value-focused alternatives.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X Plaid is an awe-inspiring 1,020 hp electric family missile capable of sustained 270 km/h Autobahn cruising and repeated sub-4.8s 100-200 km/h blasts, though thermal power derating eventually surfaces under extreme abuse and the yoke steering wheel remains frustratingly awkward.
Key Pros 👍
- Staggering 100-200 km/h rolling acceleration in the 4.7-second range places this practical family SUV directly in 1,000-horsepower tuned supercar territory. „fastest we've been able to do is 4.76 which is outrageously quick that is insane you're in like Audi r7s with 1,000 horsepower territory uh M5 with 1,000 horsepower it it really delivers that 1,000 horsepower but the cool thing is if you do it again it's pretty consistent the next run we did like a 4.78” ▶️ 00:17:27
- The updated adaptive air suspension in Comfort mode isolates jolts and cabin disturbances remarkably well. „the Comfort setting is way better it it definitely sends a lot less like jolting through the cabin that is quite good” ▶️ 00:19:42
- The dedicated second-row passenger touchscreen with built-in streaming apps provides outstanding long-distance rear entertainment. „this is new for the model X as well you have this screen here with your climate heated seats and then your media you have just have four apps Netflix YouTube Disney plus and twitch super smart” ▶️ 00:05:24
- Interior assembly and cabin materials demonstrate a noticeable leap forward in rigidity, eliminating previous trim rattles. „build quality has improved a lot recently and you just feel like it's been built properly now you don't have as much like creeks and cracks and it doesn't feel like you're going to break stuff anymore” ▶️ 00:07:28
Key Cons 👎
- The yoke steering wheel makes low-speed maneuvers, parking lot turns, and emergency corrections clumsy due to missing upper rim rim grip. „it does not work um yes you can get used to it I really believe that if you drive it for a couple of weeks or months I'm sure you get used to it but it's just not going to be as good as a steering wheel it's just not going to be driving on a highway it's perfectly fine but maneuvering you just don't have enough spots to hold it it it just makes it awkward” ▶️ 00:10:59
- Sustained high-speed Autobahn running and thermal accumulation gradually compress the full power availability window. „you can feel now that it's becomes more difficult to extract that 1,20 horsepower from it uh the window keeps getting smaller so that is still going on” ▶️ 00:23:22
- Standard iron brakes begin to exhibit pedal softening and thermal fade when repeatedly arresting this 2.5-ton vehicle from high speeds. „braking performance is not that bad but I can really feel you know at the end it starts to soften up a little bit” ▶️ 00:18:36
- Third-row seating is notably tight and suitable only for young children rather than full-sized adults. „if we check out the rear seats I mean I don't think I'm going to fit here but these are adjustable as well so we put those a bit forward and then squeeze back here this is uh very cramped so this is for like children” ▶️ 00:06:11
🎯 Verdict: The Model X Plaid obliterates conventional SUV performance benchmarks with sustained 270 km/h top-speed capability and brutal hyper-EV acceleration, yet heavy curb weight and the ergonomically compromised yoke wheel remain notable drawbacks.

TL;DR Summary: In Autogefühl's luxury EV SUV shootout against the BMW iX, Audi Q8 e-tron, and Mercedes EQE/EQS SUVs, the Tesla Model X Plaid dominates in raw power, Supercharger convenience, and thermal efficiency, but its over-the-top Falcon Wing doors and buttonless cockpit concede overall balance to more conventionally ergonomic German rivals.
Key Pros 👍
- Supercar-obliterating tri-motor Plaid powertrain producing over 1,000 horsepower „overall more than a more than th horsepower of power output we'll also then tell you later more about the acceleration in the driving part” ▶️ 00:04:09
- Advanced thermal heat pump and slippery aerodynamics protect real-world highway range in winter „model X get the heat pump now and that's why we also don't have a bad effect now here in in winter so this heat pump system reduces the difference between summer and winter range and of these electric vehicles so a very good feature to have” ▶️ 00:32:38
- Premium animal-free upholstery and supportive ventilated seats elevate long-distance touring comfort „this is another example of how to go animal free but at the same time high quality and without losing any luxury more gaining luxury seating position nice upright very comfortable and the new seats here ergonomics and also the material is really a good plus” ▶️ 00:07:20
- Rapid 250 kW Supercharging peak allowing 10-80% replenishments in under 30 minutes „the charging flap is in the rear 250 KW of a charging Peak here then ACDC charging here the supercharger and supposed to be a little bit less than 30 minutes then from 10 to 80% state of charge” ▶️ 00:05:51
Key Cons 👎
- Theatrical Falcon Wing doors and eccentric styling flourishes compromise day-to-day parking practicality „the Tesla is also a very unique and super interesting approach definitely but thumb things are maybe over the top for a car customer that doesn't want all the most unique and everything is different stuff you know what I mean just like the Falcon doors that are not really that practical” ▶️ 03:29:48
- Complete removal of physical column stalks and touchscreen gear selection harms intuitive usability „and one thing that is really new as well is there is no stalk common here column here whatsoever here by the way is now the drive mode selector slide it forward in the screen then you can drive forward slide it backward in the screen then you drive reverse” ▶️ 00:09:44
- Yoke steering wheel feels artificial and overly wide for low-speed urban maneuvering „first impression of the Yol steering is weirdo a little bit definitely it's quite wide also um it feels like you know in like a you know computer game or something I wonder how it is you know when you ease the car in and out of a parking lot” ▶️ 00:08:08
🎯 Verdict: Against established German luxury heavyweights like the BMW iX and Audi Q8 e-tron, the Tesla Model X Plaid stands out for its unmatched tri-motor acceleration, native thermal efficiency, and cutting-edge Supercharger synergy, though its eccentric Falcon Wing doors and radical stalkless cockpit prove excessively polarizing for mainstream luxury buyers.

TL;DR Summary: Johnny POV takes the 1,020 hp Tesla Model X Plaid on an Autobahn road trip, showcasing its surreal 270 km/h top end, 252 kW peak Supercharging, and Active Road Noise Reduction, while identifying heavy range drain during high-speed driving and confusing upside-down yoke turn signal buttons.
Key Pros 👍
- Staggering 1,020 hp tri-motor powertrain achieving effortless 270 km/h Autobahn top speeds and 2.6s 0-100 km/h „an EV limited at 270 km/h... ... that is absolutely mental the Model X Plaid sends 1,020 hp to the 4 wheels... ... and this 6 seater SUV does the 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds... ... but it’s the silent acceleration... ...and the casual +200 km/h driving that are really remarkable” ▶️ 00:06:31
- Blistering DC Supercharger replenishment pulling an impressive 252 kW peak charging rate „I had 100 km of range left... ... and now it is Supercharging at 252 kW” ▶️ 00:03:29
- High-fidelity 22-speaker 960W sound system equipped with Active Road Noise Reduction technology „22-speaker, 960-watt audio system... ... with Active Road Noise Reduction” ▶️ 00:02:01
- Cheetah Stance adaptive suspension lowers front axle for maximum launch control traction „when you initiate a launch control,... ... the cars lowers the front suspension to “cheetah stance” and when you release the brake... ... it just goes to Plaid the way this accelerates and decelerates is from another world” ▶️ 00:08:52
Key Cons 👎
- Sustained 200+ km/h Autobahn driving rapidly exhausts the 100 kWh battery pack requiring extra charging stops „normally you could get about 450 km of range out of the 100 kWh battery... ... but what is left of it after 15 minutes of high speed driving? ... yeah, that range might be a problem... ... might as well put it in Drag Strip Mode... ... because I need another Supercharge just to get back home” ▶️ 00:06:58
- Locating the correct capacitive turn signal button becomes confusing whenever the yoke is rotated „the most difficult thing with this yoke,... ... is choosing the correct indicator button when it’s upside down” ▶️ 00:05:37
- Middle captain chairs cannot fold flat and third-row legroom is severely compromised for passengers „Camp mode, for sleeping in the car... ... not practical in this 6-seat configuration, also the middle seats don’t fold down” ▶️ 00:04:40
- Strict Autopilot monitoring locks out autosteer for the remainder of the journey upon hands-off warning „I’ve had my hands off the yoke for too long... ... and now it refuses to autosteer for the rest of the trip let me do a quick stop & go to reset it” ▶️ 00:02:16
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Plaid represents an astonishing feat of electric hyper-SUV engineering, combining family-sized utility with surreal 270 km/h Autobahn cruising and 252 kW Supercharging, though sustained high-speed runs vaporize its battery range and the yoke's capacitive indicators frustrate during roundabouts.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X combines theatrical Falcon Wing doors and addictive instant electric propulsion with genuine seven-seat passenger practicality, though its firm suspension tuning and inconsistent assembly quality fall short of top-tier luxury expectations.
Key Pros 👍
- The dual-hinged Falcon Wing doors provide unparalleled ease of access into a genuinely usable, spacious third-row seating arrangement. „the benefit of these amazing doors is that it's dead easy to climb into the back of the car... it's actually a genuinely practical seven seater car” ▶️ 00:00:10
- The low center of gravity afforded by the skateboard battery floor virtually eliminates body roll during spirited cornering. „because the batteries are kept low down in the car keeps the center of gravity as low as possible so but it doesn't really roll at all in the corners” ▶️ 00:04:35
- Instant dual-motor torque delivers immediate, highly addictive rolling acceleration that makes passing effortless. „you can be going along at 30 miles an hour and then you're doing 17 just like that just like that i mean it's so addictive and you just you just end up putting your foot down just for the sheer heck of it” ▶️ 00:05:13
- The massive swept-back panoramic windscreen floods the cockpit with light and offers a breathtaking, spaceship-like view out. „the windscreen is the largest on any production car it's bigger than a man” ▶️ 00:07:50
Key Cons 👎
- Panel gaps and cabin trim fitment exhibit obvious inconsistencies that fail to reflect the premium asking price. „some of the fit of the trim and the panel gaps is just atrocious for a car of this price” ▶️ 00:08:18
- Air suspension dampers are calibrated on the firm side to resist roll, transmitting noticeable road harshness over jagged asphalt. „it's not the most float experience though so you do feel the bumps a little bit because obviously like i said the suspension is a little bit on the firm side to stop it rolling around in the corners” ▶️ 00:04:54
- The second-row individual seats cannot be folded down flat, limiting utility when loading bulky oversized cargo. „what you can't do though is fold down that middle row they're fixed though you can slide them forward electrically” ▶️ 00:02:43
- Falcon door mechanical packaging prevents the second-row windows from winding down more than halfway. „the rear windows don't go much more than halfway down rubbish” ▶️ 00:08:58
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X is an undeniably futuristic and immensely practical electric family SUV with show-stopping doors and addictive acceleration, though firm low-speed damping and questionable build quality undermine its six-figure luxury credentials.

TL;DR Summary: Autogefühl tests the Tesla Model X 100D, highlighting its spaceship-like panoramic windshield, rapid silent acceleration, and futuristic technology. While the falcon doors and minimalist cabin offer unrivaled road presence, its steep price tag clashes with elevated highway wind noise, a firm suspension, and mediocre interior build quality compared to established luxury rivals.
Key Pros 👍
- The massive panoramic windshield provides a uniquely airy forward view and expansive driving experience. „and of course I mean look at this panoramic view here to the front this is so great it's a very very unique driving feeling” ▶️ 00:37:05
- Instant dual-motor electric torque delivers effortless overtaking power even at high motorway speeds. „and even if you're at higher speeds that torque is always there that is the big advantage of those electric drives this is really amazing” ▶️ 00:36:55
- Strong regenerative braking facilitates smooth and relaxing one-pedal driving in urban traffic. „and I test it especially in the city and I think even the little stronger recuperation mode is better in a way because then you can use this one pedal driving you're not using the brakes most of the time is somewhat also fun and relaxed to drive in that way” ▶️ 00:44:35
- The theatrical Falcon Wing doors create immense show-off appeal and offer spacious overhead access when open. „then it has so many great features the I mean you can argue about that they have pros and cons it's of course a show-off basically when you have a lot of room then you can get in and out easier for sure” ▶️ 00:57:55
- The massive center touchscreen delivers responsive control and superior Google Maps navigation integration. „they have the huge screen but on other hand still so simple when you have all the control set once and then you you know just Cruise and have a course good Google Maps ooh GPS which is better than any other GPS you can get” ▶️ 00:58:33
Key Cons 👎
- Sound insulation is inferior to German premium benchmarks, resulting in substantial wind noise above 100 km/h. „everything that goes above that really increases the wind noise it's also worse than the Model S so there's different form yes it is somehow streamlined but still you know you have more wind noise and in the Model S” ▶️ 00:38:28
- Suspension damping is on the stiffer side and crashes noticeably over transverse road bumps. „so the suspension is not as good as you used to from the premium segment at this price so it is somehow the stiff of spotty right it's not uncomfortable at all but some times you know some bumps in the road yeah you know that can be a little bit rough” ▶️ 00:50:58
- Fit and finish and minor rattles fall short of standards expected of a vehicle costing over 100,000 to 150,000 euros. „you about one 150,000 and then of course you have to say nothing should be rattling and suspensions will be little better so yes they have to work on some of those basic features” ▶️ 00:59:24
- Exterior dimensions are very bulky relative to usable interior packaging and seat folding limitations. „yeah it does come with some downsides meant the room you have on the interior it's not really a very good package it still somehow bulky on the exterior for the room had got on the inside” ▶️ 00:57:35
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X 100D stands out as an exceptionally innovative and theatrical electric SUV boasting mind-bending acceleration, unmatched panoramic forward visibility, and cutting-edge software. However, considering its six-figure price tag, noticeable highway wind noise, stiff suspension ride over bumps, and sub-par fit and finish prevent it from matching traditional German luxury standards.

TL;DR Summary: Nicki Shields of Electrifying reviews the 2020 Tesla Model X, celebrating its supercar-beating 2.6s Ludicrous acceleration, effortless child loading via double-hinged Falcon Wing doors, and seamless Supercharger integration, while criticizing a fidgety low-speed ride and subpar cabin plastics for its six-figure price.
Key Pros 👍
- Astonishing 2.6-second Ludicrous acceleration providing supercar performance with seven seats „the performance well once you've set up the ludicrous mode will sprint to 60 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds now that's faster than most super cars and it can seat seven which is crazy i mean there is nothing else like it” ▶️ 00:04:11
- Double-hinged Falcon Wing doors make accessing child car seats in tight parking spots effortless „getting in and out of tight parking spaces this is amazing mainly because it has this double hinge so the doors go up and then out... if you've ever tried to squeeze through your car door to get the little ones in and out then these doors are the answer to that problem” ▶️ 00:01:27
- Incomparable Supercharger network convenience replenishing over 110 miles in a quick 15-minute stop „more likely tesla reckons you'll get about 111 miles charge with a 15-minute top-up from a supercharger which is heaven in terms of convenience the satnav will shout when you need to charge and send you directly to the nearest one” ▶️ 00:07:21
- Massive panoramic windscreen creates an exceptionally airy, futuristic cabin ambiance „because it's big it feels roomy and airy and that is mainly thanks to this absolutely massive panoramic wide screen tesla reckons it's the biggest in production” ▶️ 00:05:11
Key Cons 👎
- Firm air suspension setup introduces noticeable jitter and body jiggle over rough tarmac „the x has fairly firm air suspension so it does jiggle around a bit on rough roads not so great for the passengers right at the back” ▶️ 00:05:02
- Cabin build materials and trim tolerances fail to meet expectations for a vehicle approaching six figures „the materials and quality well it's only really okay for what is a premium car some bits of the car build don't feel quite up to standard for something that costs nearly six figures” ▶️ 00:05:30
- Costly £6,800 Full Self-Driving package currently lacks significant functional advantage over base systems „this car has the full self-driving option fitted and it's a 6800 pound extra it promises a lot but it currently doesn't have much more functionality than you'd find in a cheaper rival” ▶️ 00:06:24
- Bulky 2.5-ton footprint feels wide and unwieldy when navigating narrow British roads „in fact on a uk road it does actually feel quite big it's wide it's chunky and you can feel some of the weight at two and a half tons without anyone else on board it's pretty hefty” ▶️ 00:04:38
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X remains a futuristic family tour de force offering mind-bending straight-line pace, practical seven-seat carrying capacity, and unmatched Supercharger reliability, even though brittle low-speed secondary ride comfort and mediocre cabin plastics belie its substantial six-figure price tag.

TL;DR Summary: In Autogefühl's four-way EV SUV showdown against the BMW iX3, Audi e-tron, and Mercedes EQC, the Tesla Model X Performance Raven prevails in real-world range, motor efficiency, and standard equipment transparency, despite trailing its German competitors in cornering dynamics and tight-space agility.
Key Pros 👍
- Benchmark long-distance highway range and permanent-magnet motor efficiency outperforming German rivals „while a lot of the features are the best like efficiency range and the unique cockpit atmosphere also tesla does not use animal materials on the seats anymore at” ▶️ 03:42:51
- Comprehensive standard equipment roster avoiding thousands in costly German option packages „it is really cool and fair that the model x and also the other teslas basically don't have any expensive options” ▶️ 03:43:08
- Futuristic cabin ambiance headlined by the largest panoramic automotive windscreen in the world „in the interior where we have the very futuristic concept which even today could be a concept vehicle on a motor show with a panoramic windscreen which is the biggest in the world definitely” ▶️ 01:27:31
- Raven adaptive air suspension and acoustic insulation upgrades provide relaxed highway cruising „the updated air suspension which is now more comfortable and the great improved noise um you know the vibration vibration things noise um you know the oval less wind noise and so on less rolling noise” ▶️ 01:28:35
Key Cons 👎
- Heavier curb weight and substantial chassis inertia result in the least agile cornering dynamics among tested rivals „the only thing you have to swallow that the model x has the worst driving dynamics if you compare it to the german competitors” ▶️ 03:43:02
- Bulky five-meter footprint creates maneuverability challenges in dense European urban environments „if driving dynamics and driving fun is more important to you and the tesla model x is maybe a little bit too long or bulky especially when you live in a more crowded area than the beamw ix-3 seems to be the choice for you” ▶️ 03:43:30
- Steering wheel rim is not vegan as standard on Model X and requires special dealership inquiry „yeah they have to work on that steering wheel wrapping here in contrast to the model 3 and the model y in the x in the s but talked about that earlier as well” ▶️ 01:27:46
🎯 Verdict: In a four-way clash against the BMW iX3, Audi e-tron, and Mercedes EQC, the Tesla Model X cements its leadership in electric vehicle range, powertrain efficiency, and unbundled pricing transparency, even though its bulky dimensions and less agile cornering dynamics concede driving purity to smaller German rivals.

TL;DR Summary: Autogefühl pits the Tesla Model X Plaid against the Model Y Performance on the Autobahn, concluding that while the Model X boasts blistering straight-line speed, plush seats, and air-suspension float over road crests, its doubled price tag and bulkier handling make the agile Model Y the more compelling choice.
Key Pros 👍
- Staggering Plaid acceleration provides a massive adrenaline rush on the open Autobahn „drop that straw kilometers now off 125 miles an hour yeah substantially quicker yeah so that is a big difference indeed yeah that the other one is quick but this one here really gets your adrenaline going” ▶️ 00:21:10
- Substantially superior front seat ergonomics and contouring tailored for tall drivers on long road trips „the seats in the model X give you more Comfort especially for tall people that is to me the best thing about the model X actually I love the seats actually so there's gain in comfort in driving” ▶️ 00:28:20
- Adaptive air suspension effectively smooths out large motorway undulations and surface waves „the thing is here you fear you have the air suspension when you're going over some waves so there for example you have some height difference on the road and then it is evened out by the air suspension that is giving you more Comfort” ▶️ 00:23:23
- Expansive panoramic windscreen creates an unmatched sense of light and forward visibility „also this panoramic windscreen I think it's really cool you see so much from the sky that is more open atmosphere I really love that” ▶️ 00:21:45
Key Cons 👎
- Astronomical 100% price premium over Model Y is not justified by real-world feature differences „and the thing is the X doesn't deliver so much more that it would justify double the price that is to me the key thing of this comparison” ▶️ 00:29:12
- Heavy curb weight and larger dimensions penalize agility and cornering enjoyment compared to Model Y „here in the corner it just doesn't deliver as much fun as the model y so because the model Y is just smaller more agile lighter and so on you feel like you want to attack it a little bit more and here with the ax you feel that specially in cornering it has its limits as for the agility” ▶️ 00:25:06
- Capacitive turn signal buttons on the steering wheel can fail to register without firm, deliberate pressure „and this never happens with the star column the star column I never missed an indicator and here I was on the motorway just you know a couple minutes before I turned on the camera and I was really missing and then and then I looked and then once again you know pressing really really hardly” ▶️ 00:22:14
- Large 22-inch wheels transmit noticeable road impact harshness over sharp imperfections „at the same time we have the 22 inch wheels here and they transport small bumps from the road into your car so if you want most comfort you would go with the X with the air suspension but then stick with the 20 inch wheels” ▶️ 00:23:34
🎯 Verdict: While the Tesla Model X Plaid provides undeniably thrilling straight-line performance and vastly superior seat ergonomics, its hefty curb weight degrades handling agility, making it nearly impossible to justify at double the price of a Model Y Performance.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X interior feels beamed in from the future with its dominant 17-inch touchscreen, crystal-clear parking cameras, and full Google satellite mapping, yet questionable material quality and the total lack of physical climate buttons compromise luxury usability.
Key Pros 👍
- The high-definition reversing camera feed and inch-accurate ultrasonic proximity readouts make parking a breeze. „the parking sensors display their proximity to objects in inches and a reversing camera is razor sharp like all the other functions it can be shown in either full screen or show is a split screen” ▶️ 00:01:22
- Full-screen Google satellite navigation looks stunning and integrates real-time supercharger routing effortlessly. „it's best to make the most of the satellite navigation in full screen as it looks gorgeous it uses Google mapping software and can be displayed with either mapping or satellite imagery and a list of live traffic details” ▶️ 00:01:34
- The massive 17-inch central interface commands nearly all vehicle systems with futuristic minimalist presentation. „the dashboard looks like it's been sent from the future it's dominated by huge 17 inch touchscreen which controls pretty much every non driving function” ▶️ 00:00:08
- Strong regenerative braking facilitates seamless one-pedal urban driving while reclaiming battery charge. „the strength of the energy regeneration can be changed between two settings and its strongest mode it slows down very quickly enough that you're hardly ever need to use the brake” ▶️ 00:03:17
Key Cons 👎
- Burying fundamental temperature controls within screen sub-menus distracts the driver compared to dedicated tactile dials. „the big central screen and bare minimum of buttons is great the style but it's still easier to use real buttons when you're driving especially when it comes to adjusting the temperature quickly” ▶️ 00:00:29
- Inconsistent panel gaps and cheap interior plastics feel jarringly out of place in a car commanding well over £100,000. „some panel gaps are enormous and cheap materials mean that it doesn't really feel good enough for a car which can cost well over 100,000 pounds” ▶️ 00:00:44
- The standard factory sound system delivers weak, tinny acoustic performance that disappoints at this luxury price point. „unfortunately the standard height light is something of a disappointment it sounds really weak and not good in Africa at this price the upgraded audio system does sound great it's only available as part of the premium upgrade package” ▶️ 00:02:32
- Satellite imagery map rendering suffers from noticeable tile loading lag when passing through weak cellular signal areas. „it does look good but it can take time to render the map when you see also live across the screen and this can be made worse depending on your internet connection” ▶️ 00:01:43
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X offers an undeniably futuristic infotainment hub with brilliant full-screen Google navigation and comprehensive digital controls, though cheap cabin plastics and missing physical switchgear undermine its six-figure luxury standing.

Key Pros 👍
- The 1,020 hp tri-motor Plaid powertrain unleashes explosive 2.5-second 0-60 mph sprints that beat dedicated track hypercars like the McLaren Senna. „the 1020 horsepower plaid version that thing will do not to 60 miles an hour in 2.5 seconds that's quicker than the mclaren center it's nuts” ▶️ 00:01:55
- Superior energy management delivers exceptional driving range that decisively surpasses competing electric luxury SUVs from legacy European brands. „the new long-range version has 360 miles of range that's more than any of those other suvs i've just mentioned” ▶️ 00:01:47
- Continuous cell chemistry and battery architecture refinements maintain an enduring range and efficiency advantage over industry alternatives. „it also had the latest battery technology so even entry-level cars had around 200 miles of range that was way more than most evs back then” ▶️ 00:01:16
- Integrating the heavy battery pack low into the chassis creates a sports-car-like center of gravity that aids dynamic handling. „keeps the car's centre of gravity nice and low to the ground which is good for handling” ▶️ 00:04:32
Key Cons 👎
- Complex motorized Falcon Wing doors compromise vehicle aesthetics and introduce intricate mechanical vulnerabilities. „those ridiculous falcon wing doors too they're totally unique but they do make the model x look like a really fat eagle about to take off well struggling to take off actually” ▶️ 00:00:58
- The aircraft-inspired steering yoke discards traditional rim continuity and proves polarizing for everyday drivers. „now it'll probably come with one of those weird yoke steering wheels like the latest model s” ▶️ 00:06:55
- Ambitious software promises and autonomous launch schedules frequently suffer from multi-year developmental postponements. „elon likes to promise stuff and then kind of keeps us waiting anyway” ▶️ 00:07:46
- A radically button-free cabin concept buries critical everyday secondary functions inside the central touchscreen display. „they've already taken out all the buttons and given it a massive screen in the middle” ▶️ 00:07:24
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Plaid remains an electrifying benchmark that pairs 1,020 hp hypercar-crushing acceleration with genuine seven-seat versatility, though over-reliance on touch controls, polarizing styling, and delayed delivery timelines temper its appeal.

TL;DR Summary: Autogefühl's in-depth review of the Tesla Model X Performance Raven highlights transformative upgrades in motor efficiency, high-speed cabin acoustics, and adaptive air suspension comfort, counterbalanced by nervous Autopilot lane-centering and tight third-row access in the 7-seat configuration.
Key Pros 👍
- Massive leap in cabin noise insulation eliminating previous high-speed wind buffeting on the Autobahn „the noise insulation here especially at higher speeds has been massively improved massively so indeed that was one of the things where so far we said tesla has a great concept but they are lacking a little bit behind in the you know perfection and the look and feel build quality noise installation and so on” ▶️ 00:28:22
- Raven permanent magnet front motor yields over 10% efficiency boost and delivers 500 km realistic range „it was used in tesla model 3 before at the rear axle and here now at the front axle because here at the rear for the s and the x they need stronger electric motors for the rear axle but overall efficiency gain at least 10 if not more” ▶️ 00:06:34
- New adaptive air suspension setup delivers a dramatic improvement in daily riding comfort „great improvement definitely here once again from the air suspension which is now adaptive and this is so much more comfortable” ▶️ 00:37:23
- Explosive Ludicrous acceleration achieving 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds with relentless pulling power „ladies and gentlemen the fastest c reduction in the world from acceleration plop that's 200 kilometers an hour or 125 miles per hour and this was really incredible acceleration” ▶️ 00:26:32
Key Cons 👎
- Autopilot steering behaves nervously and trails the smooth driver assistance of German luxury rivals „is the autopilot here i mean it's not really an autopilot so the name is a little bit deceiving definitely the best on the market definitely not so i think they are also the traditional manufacturers have some more smooth solutions here and yeah a little bit more refined here sometimes the steam is a little bit nervous” ▶️ 00:42:03
- Clumsy access into the third seating row due to lack of a one-touch comfort tilt-and-slide mechanism „so the only thing is maybe missing here for the seven seat is a better entry function to the rear seats and so you can just slide them forward and fold them down but there's not you know like an you know comfort entry function or something” ▶️ 00:22:54
- Absence of smartphone mirroring hampers native playlist browsing via standard Bluetooth connection „when you know about picking playlists at least from the iphone x at the moment it's not possible you have to pick it on your phone that's the only thing that's for example missing if you compare to using apple carplay or android auto” ▶️ 00:18:53
- Steering wheel is not vegan as standard on Model X and requires special ordering unlike Model 3 „just the steering wheel in the s and the x you have to all of that individually that you get also a non animal of wrapping there in the model 3 and the model y it's a standard so this they have to work on on the x and yes” ▶️ 00:08:54
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Performance Raven cures the vehicle's historical weak spots with German Autobahn-proven acoustic refinement, a supple adaptive air suspension, and impressive permanent-magnet motor efficiency, cementing its status as the world's most versatile high-performance electric SUV.

TL;DR Summary: Robert Llewellyn of Fully Charged spends hundreds of miles testing the Tesla Model X 90D, applauding its breathtaking panoramic windscreen, plush six-seat interior, and confident all-wheel-drive grip, while pointing out elevated energy consumption and occasionally awkward automated door mechanisms in tight urban spaces.
Key Pros 👍
- Monumental single-piece curved panoramic windscreen delivers unprecedented outward visibility „the windscreen is unbelievable that's what you can see at the front there that's the windscreen you're not seeing bit of roof at the top that's all one piece of glass it's absolutely huge” ▶️ 00:01:36
- Luxurious six-seat layout allows passengers to practically stand upright when entering via Falcon Wing doors „sitting in the back is like really a privilege it's really really comfy this is six seats you've got loads of room and here's one of the great things which I know people talked about but it's the fact that it's so easy to get out because it's above your head you can actually stand up in here” ▶️ 00:12:15
- Reassuring dual-motor all-wheel-drive grip and intuitive one-pedal regenerative deceleration „I'm very appreciative of the four-wheel drive nosov it it feels incredibly solid and the steering is exemplary it really pulls itself around corners very effectively” ▶️ 00:05:20
- Noticeably upgraded interior build quality, tight panel tolerances, and premium tactile surfaces over Model S „this it's very different the finish on this car that all the materials that are used in it the finish of the - the position of the big screen is slightly near as a driver it's much nicer you know everything is finished to a much higher degree it's much clearer feels tighter” ▶️ 00:10:29
Key Cons 👎
- Elevated energy consumption averaging over 400 Wh/mile substantially reduces efficiency compared to Model S „my car I can get it really reasonably without any effort get an average of say 290 280 290 watt hours a mile... this car is averaging 419 watt hours a month which is considerably more it's quite a lot more isn't it” ▶️ 00:04:05
- Massive exterior width and footprint prove cumbersome and intimidating in narrow European city traffic „driving in dense urban traffic really slowly well you can only just fit through because it's just a beast it's an enormous vehicle he's kind of Daft it is a daft thing to have in a northern European country that with medieval roads” ▶️ 00:03:17
- Motorized front and Falcon Wing doors can behave unpredictably and shut unexpectedly in tight spaces „the strivers door that is it's got me a lot of times I've not been I was trying to get out of a car park in the supermarket the other day and the man was looking at me like I was an absolute tragedy because the bloody thing kept slamming on me and I couldn't work out how to get out of it” ▶️ 00:11:53
- Substantial £85,000 to £90,000 price point places it firmly in the ultra-luxury bracket „just to normal bog-standard eighty-five to ninety thousand pound car so they're not cheap these runs” ▶️ 00:03:35
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X 90D delivers an extraordinarily futuristic, swift, and serene six-seat family travel experience headlined by its monolithic panoramic glass windscreen, though its vast physical girth, steep price tag, and elevated energy consumption present noticeable urban ownership compromises.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X P100D demonstrates staggering instant electric punch by consistently out-accelerating a V12 Lamborghini Aventador S up to 110 mph in rolling sprints, though its heavy 2.5-ton bulk concedes the quarter-mile victory at high speeds.
Key Pros 👍
- Instant electric dual-motor torque delivers immediate, lag-free thrust that completely out-launches the high-revving V12 off the mark. „listen the electric is instance it's always instant power and you can't get that from this... initial pick up from the electric motors I dropped you at first” ▶️ 00:04:21
- In real-world rolling acceleration from 30 mph, the Model X decisively leads the low-slung Italian exotic up to 110 mph. „I definitely beat you there though right I was ahead of you to about 110 miles an hour on the road” ▶️ 00:05:13
- Provides genuine seven-passenger family accommodation and luggage flexibility while trading blows with a flagship supercar. „hence this rather odd matchup a seven-seater electric SUV against a thoroughbred supercar” ▶️ 00:01:54
- The 100 kWh battery pack and dual electric motors reliably deliver 772 horsepower with foolproof all-wheel drive traction. „I've got a hundred kilowatt hour battery two electric motors and 772 horsepower” ▶️ 00:00:07
Key Cons 👎
- The Model X trails the lighter supercar by nearly a second on the standing quarter-mile (11.3s vs 10.5s) as speeds climb. „the lamborghini aventador s did the standing quarter mile in ten point five seconds whereas the Tesla Model X took eleven point three seconds” ▶️ 00:02:58
- Carrying 2.5 tonnes of curb weight severely blunts top-end velocity compared to a 1.5-tonne carbon-tub mid-engine machine. „mine's what about 1.5 and we say about 690 you come in so yeah is lighter and faster I'm not two and a half tonnes and yeah I've got 980 Newton meters but really that way it does make a difference” ▶️ 00:04:08
- Once high-displacement combustion engines enter their high-RPM sweet spot, they relentlessly pull away from the single-speed electric SUV. „it seems so slow because I'm sitting around 4,000 but the minute hit 5 then it really draws yeah I saw that it just suddenly picked up going past” ▶️ 00:03:51
- Single-ratio electric gearing inevitably results in diminishing acceleration rates at high motorway and runway speeds. „I think I lost I lost from the very beginning” ▶️ 00:02:40
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X P100D puts on an astonishing display of instantaneous electric torque by out-accelerating a Lamborghini Aventador S up to 110 mph, though its heavy 2.5-ton mass limits quarter-mile top-end dominance.

TL;DR Summary: Business Insider analyzes how the Tesla Model X became the first SUV to secure a perfect 5-star NHTSA crash-test rating, highlighting its floor-integrated battery pack that prevents rollovers and an engine-free front crumple zone that dissipates severe impact energy.
Key Pros 👍
- Floor-mounted battery architecture creates an ultra-low center of gravity that virtually eliminates rollover risk „unlike most SUVs which tend to roll over with ease the Model X continues to return to an upright position here's why the Model X was the first SUV to receive a perfect crash-test rating” ▶️ 00:00:09
- Absence of a bulky combustion engine allows for an expansive frontal crumple zone to absorb crash energy „since the Model X is an electric vehicle there's no need for mechanical components in the hood of the car this allows for a much larger crumple zone to absorb energy from a frontal crash” ▶️ 00:02:25
- Specially engineered energy-absorbing side sills and reinforced pillars maximize passenger compartment protection „it also has specially made side sills that absorb energy in addition to its rigid side pillars these features help reduce the force exerted on passengers and increases their protection” ▶️ 00:02:34
- Comprehensive suite of standard active safety systems including collision avoidance and automated braking „amongst its many luxury features the Model X hosts active safety technology such as collision avoidance systems and automatic emergency braking” ▶️ 00:01:50
Key Cons 👎
- Steep $80,000+ base pricing places its benchmark crash protection out of reach for budget-conscious families „but if you don't have $80,000 laying around for a Model X there's still plenty of SUVs out there with excellent safety ratings” ▶️ 00:02:47
- Substantial battery weight requires heavy structural reinforcement to manage collision forces „the Model X has a large rigid battery pack located on the of the vehicle this gives the Model X a much lower center of gravity than your average SUV” ▶️ 00:02:05
🎯 Verdict: By capitalizing on its floor-mounted battery pack and an enormous engine-free front crumple zone, the Tesla Model X redefines automotive safety standards as the first SUV ever to conquer NHTSA rollover and crash tests with perfect 5-star scores across every category.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X Plaid shocks the supercar hierarchy by dead-heating a 1,000 hp Ferrari SF90 Stradale in a 10.0-second quarter-mile blitz while humiliating a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, although alarming 100 mph braking distances reveal critical stopping weaknesses.
Key Pros 👍
- Staggering tri-motor electric propulsion allows this six-passenger crossover to match a £380,000 flagship Ferrari hypercar across the quarter-mile in 10.0 seconds. „the Tesla and Ferrari both did the standing quarter mile in 10 seconds dead the freeze frame is so close that I'm going to leave it to you to decide which car won” ▶️ 00:07:27
- Outclasses naturally aspirated V12 halo supercars by nearly a full second across the standing quarter-mile. „Lamborghini was last it did the standing quarter mile in 10.8 seconds... that svj's slow versus this” ▶️ 00:07:42
- Immediate electric throttle reaction delivers instantaneous overtaking pickup that leaves high-strung combustion engines scrambling to downshift. „I went when I said go it's just so instant it's nothing to do with me cheating I didn't like press the pedalingo go” ▶️ 00:08:23
- Presents unbelievable performance democratization, rivaling bespoke exotic machinery while costing a fraction of their price and seating six adults. „it's also quite expensive around 130 000 pounds so it's cheaper than that Ferrari that costs 380 000 pounds” ▶️ 00:01:34
Key Cons 👎
- Emergency braking from 100 mph is poor, taking vastly longer distances to halt than dedicated carbon-ceramic equipped performance cars. „this is not stopping God the brakes on this are rubbish I have no idea what happened there” ▶️ 00:11:03
- Substantial 2.5-ton mass challenges launch surface adhesion and limits dynamic braking performance. „it weighs about two and a half tons... struggles with traction” ▶️ 00:01:32
- Fails decisively in emergency stopping trials against exotic competitors due to immense kinetic momentum and conventional brake hardware. „oh wait a minute I badly lost the brake test so okay I'll shut up” ▶️ 00:11:36
- Aerodynamic resistance inherent to a tall family crossover reduces rolling advantages over slippery mid-engine supercars as speeds build to the half-mile mark. „you two can be in your sportiest settings second gear... that Ferrari just shut off and to the half miles it's not that big a difference” ▶️ 00:09:38
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Plaid provides stunning hypercar-level performance by tying a £380,000 Ferrari SF90 over the quarter-mile in 10.0 seconds, though dangerously long 100 mph emergency braking distances underline clear chassis limitations.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X Plaid pairs mind-bending 1,020 hp all-weather tri-motor performance with cavernous six-passenger space and automated Falcon Wing doors, though its 2.5-ton mass and awkward yoke steering complicate daily urban usability.
Key Pros 👍
- Purpose-built EV architecture unlocks extraordinary passenger volume and cargo capacity across all three rows. „It's incredible how much space this car has, again, because, efficient packaging, and the fact that this car was designed from scratch, to be an electric car” ▶️ 00:58:00
- Dual-hinged Falcon Wing doors provide effortless rear cabin ingress even when parked in narrow spaces. „you can open it in a narrow parking lot, Because, as you can see, it doesn't take too much space. This is the advantage of X” ▶️ 00:50:39
- The tri-motor powertrain modulates instant torque seamlessly to guarantee relentless forward traction on slippery snow and ice. „look, loss of traction to zero, obviously, everything was adjusted from soft, and it gave as much torque as it thought it needs for the grip we have” ▶️ 01:07:58
- Automated self-closing front doors and power-operated functions bring effortless futuristic convenience to daily ingress. „The door is closing by pressing the break pedal Otherwise, if you want to get out of it, either you press the button, look, it has soft close” ▶️ 00:49:47
Key Cons 👎
- The cut-off yoke design lacks an upper rim and variable steering ratio, making parking maneuvers feel clumsy and unnatural. „And Elon Musk thought that he would like to do this thing, and it's weird, I mean, it's totally unintuitive and very unnatural, the good part is that now you can order the S model with a round wheel” ▶️ 00:23:03
- Heavier 2.5-ton curb weight noticeably penalizes handling agility and aerodynamic range compared to the Model S sedan. „you don't have 2.1 to 100 declared you have 2.6 to 100 km declared, for me, it's also a heavier car” ▶️ 00:52:04
- Touch-capacitive indicator buttons on the steering wheel fight intuitive driver reflexes and muscle memory. „here you wanted to turn but I couldn't, because I didn't have the steering wheel... you want to signal right, which is strange” ▶️ 01:00:32
- Roof-mounted Falcon doors can allow snow and water to tumble directly onto rear occupants when opened during winter weather. „and if you have snow on the car, and you're too tiny, you'll have snow in the car” ▶️ 00:50:11
🎯 Verdict: The Tesla Model X Plaid is an astonishing technological tour de force offering supercar-obliterating tri-motor acceleration in a cavernous, ultra-practical six-seater SUV format, though the clumsy yoke steering and heavy weight diminish driving purity.

TL;DR Summary: The Tesla Model X Plaid delivers ferocious 2.8-second 0-60 mph real-world launches and cavernous cargo flexibility, but is severely let down by glaring panel gap flaws, brittle low-speed secondary ride jitter, and infuriating touchscreen gear controls.
Key Pros 👍
- Real-world measured 0-60 mph acceleration in 2.82 seconds proves genuinely supercar-humbling without relying on rollout deductions. „2.82 to 60 in the interest of transparency the launch road is slightly downhill now I'm going to run it in the opposite direction to see what number we get... literally made hardly any difference just like 0.1 of a second a 2.94 it's a quick this thing it's so quick” ▶️ 00:20:24
- Dual luggage compartments provide a massive 183-liter front frunk alongside a deep 425-liter rear cargo well. „The Tesla Model X has two boots there's one at the front with a capacity of 183 liters which is actually quite large... and then you have a nice big booty area of 425 liters” ▶️ 00:07:51
- Chassis composure remains remarkably level and flat through high-speed curves thanks to a low center of gravity and rear torque vectoring. „I'm quite impressed with how it just stays completely flat through the bends it really really does” ▶️ 00:18:39
- Active noise canceling speaker software effectively isolates tire slap and road rumble on motorway surfaces. „the car stereo has noise canceling software and it uses the speakers to counteract any nasty unwanted noises in the cabin so it's all nice and peaceful and Serene” ▶️ 00:10:50
Key Cons 👎
- Swiping on the touchscreen to change between Drive and Reverse is finicky and frustratingly slow during hurried three-point turns. „I absolutely did test the gear selector so to put into drive you have to press your finger onto the little car icon then slide it Forward on the screen and then to get in Reverse press and hold slide it backwards seems easy but when you're trying to maneuver in a rush sometimes you're like doing that you're not hitting it you're opening icons and stuff like that and it's ah I'd much rather have a little gear selector right see it's not in park annoying” ▶️ 00:08:34
- Exterior panel alignment and shut lines around the tailgate and doors are visibly uneven and inconsistent for a six-figure car. „The panel gaps on this car are as wide as the Grand Canyon I mean look at this look that it's all uneven here look at that that's sticking out this is nice and tight there then very wide down here and that's not all this doesn't line up there's a huge gap here on this side” ▶️ 00:08:58
- The air suspension feels fidgety and shimmies over repetitive washboard asphalt cracks instead of gliding smoothly like a BMW iX. „whereas on these cracks when there's lots of them one after the other it's sort of pitter-patters and like shimmers and shakes overall I don't think that the suspension is quite as smooth as on a BMW IX” ▶️ 00:14:37
- Standard iron brakes quickly heat soak and experience long pedal travel when slowing 2.5 tons on spirited downhill mountain driving. „the brakes would be getting a serious workout and they soon start to overheat and the pedal gets long and you can lose quite a lot of braking performance which would be scary” ▶️ 00:19:00
🎯 Verdict: The Model X Plaid is an outrageously fast six-seat family SUV with astonishing 2.8-second real-world acceleration and great packaging, but poor panel tolerances and infuriating screen-based gear selection hold it back.
