Don't Buy a Tesla Model X in 2024 (Here's What I Learned)

I had my Tesla Model X for 3 years and it's supposed to be the best. However, I don't think it's worth it at this price point and with all the new updates with Tesla right now.

Soo… who just bought a model x?? Come on now.

[brandonn]

Upgraded from a 21 model 3 to a 24 model y. I think the model y is the perfect car for me at this stage in life. Loving it so far

[Greggory]

I definitely disagree with almost everything mention in this video about the Model X. The car is NOT outdated and still turns heads, especially with the Falcon doors go up. I have a 2022 with yoke and I still love it to pieces.

I drove a Model X a year ago, and it was the second best BEV I've driven...I thought it was amazing. Thanks

[SwtBabyRays]

I have a 3 highland and traded in my X for a gen 2 R1S. Honestly, the extra room and utility of the R1S fits perfectly into my life.

Air suspension on model x is a game changer compared to the model y

[bayareamacaddict]

I wish my model X had a front bumper camera.

[gregstowell]

Ok, so other than the interior spaciousness, two screens in the front, and a screen in the back, noise cancellation and much quieter ride, auto shifting into drive and into reverse, the smoother ride, the adjustable suspension, the captain's seat layout, the falcon wing doors, the longer range, the faster charging, the auto closing doors, and the ventilated seats, there's really no difference compared to the Y. Do I have that right? (still enjoy your videos!)

Hey Chris, I'm one month into my new 24 Model X. I absolutely love it. I agree with everything you said in this video, good and bad, I especially miss a front camera, but I have no regrets. I'll be happy to upgrade in 2026 if there is a refresh.

Bought mine 2/24. I love it. I was able to transfer unlimited super charging and FSD from my old Tesla at no charge too!

[MarkLauzonTheStoneGuy]

I bought on 7 months ago. I frickin love it.

Excellent review with spot on comments. My opinion differs a little bit, however.

Model Y owner for four years. Fantastic car. Still have it. However, I wanted a new electric car for my birthday number 65. Looked at all of them, including Mercedes, BMW, Rivian, Lucid, Rivian, Ford, Chevy, etc. etc.

My kids are all grown, and I do have five grandkids. Even though I am retired, I drive about 40 miles a day for my various activities. So most of my driving is by myself and occasionally with my wife. After multiple test drives, I decided that I wanted a top-of-the-line Kia, EV 9. Fortunately, the local dealer was right around the block and I was able to do an extensive test drive. The over long landscape monitor was kind of fun, but cumbersome to use. Even without the air suspension, the ride was good. Acceleration was certainly adequate, but not in the same league as Tesla. Lots of room in the Kia with a third row bench that can actually fit adults. Heads up display and vehicle to load charging possibilities were enticing.

I had some extra time on a Sunday afternoon and decided to schedule one last drive of the Tesla model X. This model has been around essentially for 10 years with some minor changes. I was ready for something different and newer. I scheduled the test, drive online with no human interaction. I arrived at the closed tesla service center, found the demo car in the parking lot. As soon as my appointment time arrived, my phone app had complete access to the car for one hour. So I open the door, sit down, and immediately felt like I was back into the future. The Kia, by comparison, felt old. The legacy underpinnings and old style SUV architecture became very obvious in the Kia.

The Tesla model X is a very smooth, big vehicle with top performance, comfort, and technology. Additionally, the supercharger network is currently without parallel. I do travel with my car a fair amount and the supercharger network is critical.

This was in April 2024. Price for both vehicles was essentially identical. The advantages of the Tesla model X included better performance, adjustable air suspension, better computer interface, much more useful big screen with much better software, super charger network, better range, and charging speed, and overall a much more modern vehicle. Oh yeah, the sound system is epic.

The advantages of the Kia include more people and cargo space, massaging seats, and it is a vehicle that is not a Tesla.

So I bought the model X and I’ve had absolutely no regrets.

Thanks for doing this video - I feel your pain. I paid more for a 2022 Model S. Still love it though!

[raymondhon]

I just pick up a 2024 Tesla Model X Plaid...I am so happy with my purchase. It is much better than my Rivian R1S Quad Motor; better active suspension, better ride quality, better software, better hardware, more powerful, superb acceleration, and yes, those falcon wing doors are the icing on the cake. I love it.

driver display: wait until your eyes go, presbyopia kicks in and you have to wear progressive glasses, then you'll understand why looking down is easier and to the right isn't great. (a HUD would be ideal)

[richardfoust]

You can lay the second row down, there is a hidden button near the head rest in the leather.

An X would be great to add for our growing family. We have a 3 and love it. For the right price, I would go to CA and drive it back to TX. Great videos. Lee them going and stay awesome

[Annette_Hons]

My next EV will likely be a Model X. I'm a few years away from that so we will see what upgrades, if any, happen in the next few years. I love my 2024 Mustang Mach E, no complaints about it at all. Great build quality, fit and finish is great, overall amazing car.

[JBoya]

On our second Model X and will likely be get a 3rd when the lease is up in Spring.

Hey Chris, I always love your videos and appreciate the thought and time you put into creating them. I have a big family and have wanted to get the Model X for a long time. I've test-driven it at least four times over the past few years. I recently did another test drive and finally decided to get it because they now have a lower anchor on the 3rd row. This is huge for me since my kids are young, and I can put them in car seats on the 3rd row when we have visitors.

However, I do agree with you about the two screens. It feels like Tesla put more effort into one screen UX. You can't press a spot to park for the auto park feature on the X, and can't show tire pressure and trip details like other Teslas can by swiping the audio player, which makes the Model X and Model S feel outdated. Also, since I've been driving my Model 3 Highland for a while, I find the Model 3 actually more comfortable than the Model X. It's crazy! I would reconsider getting the X after watching your video. Thank you, as always!
