@jethr001 can confirm it was upgraded tomorrow

[@genoj9913]

Great job on the video! I really enjoyed the comparison. I owned a 2016 Tesla Model X 90D, and let me tell you, that car gave me the blues with all the costly out-of-warranty repairs. From the mirror motor to the squeaky front suspension caused by not enough factory grease, and even the wheel fairing separating from the car in a car wash - it was one thing after another. The falcon door sensor misbehaving and needing a reset, and the center glass between the falcon doors blowing off on the highway without me knowing until I got home - it was quite the adventure. Not to mention the AC compressor going bad and the fact that cracked two ‘22 wheels at a whopping $2100 per wheel, not to mention needing new tires. Phew! Surprise! I still really miss my Model X, even though I sold it and bought an ‘18 BMW Alpina and added a ‘22 Ford F150 Raptor to my car collection. I miss my Tesla so much that I went for a test drive of the Model S two days ago, and confirmed I am still a Model X guy. I'm ready to get another X. Your comparison review has convinced me - it's time to plan for a 2023-24 Model X again. Also, watching the improvements and changes to the newer 2023 Model X was really exciting. Thanks for the great video!

My model X plaid 2024 is coming in two weeks and I was iffy about it, but this video made me feel good.

[@TC-dk6do]

Sucker

[@rgeraldalexander4278]

The 2024 X I picked up in May has the horn in the middle of the steering wheel. Thank you Tesla!

[@RyanC1384]

My answer for why I ordered the Plaid X: - Don’t like the wood grain look - Wanted 6 seat configuration for 2 kids - At that point it makes sense to pay the extra ~$8,500 for the extra performance.

[@Driven-Productions]

Plaid was a solid deal, really if you didn’t care about the tax credit and/or needed the 6 seats, no reason not to upgrade to it. For me, having had the P100D for many years, I’d rather have the range. And watch the launch in this review this car is still very fast hits 60 in the mid 3’s… was the most surprising part about the new Tesla Model X Long Range for me.

[@highprofits2]

Keeping your suspension at LOW creates the camber that allows for a more performance centric handling. The older Model Xs have a way to set your suspension levels. I had mine set to STANDARD until it hits 80mph then have it go to LOW.

[@matthewkendall8544]

I’m starting to see 4 and 5 year old model X’s that are affordable. What do you think about the older ones? Are the falcon wing doors aging well?

[@Driven-Productions]

I think the X & S with 3-4 years of warranty left are great buys! Now is a good time little EV backlash and high rates have created a buyers market.

[@oldrango883]

Used is the way to go! Tesla depreciates 35-50% in just a couple years. I just bought a 2019 M3SR+ for $23k with 39k miles and it’s in excellent condition.

[@tamarm_funkycoldmedina]

The battery heater wasn't covered under the battery/power train warranty?

[@nemoltu]

No, it's not, I had the same problem in Norway and had to pay out of pocket.

[@remboldt]

Great video!! I really enjoyed being a part of this and watching the video. You make great content bro!!

[@Driven-Productions]

Appreciate you spending the time together my friend. I hope this one gets picked up it’s loaded with solid content in my opinion for anyone looking to make an informed Tesla Model X Long Range or used X performance model buying decision.

[@ChosenMJ]

For the record, the 21-24 MS LR is running the 1/4 mile at 10.6@130mph which is faster than the P100D and the Model S Performance. Unfortunately, Tesla neutered the 0-60 to 2.9 seconds but it feels like it could easily do 2.5 seconds. The same performance translates to the X as the motors are the same.

[@AkpDiwali]

How is the fsd with interior camera vs no camera 2 months in? Is stereo much better?

[@Driven-Productions]

And that brings me to another video I’m working cause I can can’t stand the new FSD “pay attention” warnings. Defeats the entire purpose of FSD. I covered it and selected Auto-steer Beta for now. Which thankfully after an initial pay attention warning works like previous gen software (but no destination to destination FSD)

[@AkpDiwali]

⁠@@Driven-Productionsdoes enhanced auto pilot with NOA for highways use camera . It’s 1/2 way between AP and FSD . With a 2019 raven x and 2017 S, the fsd with no camera is the main reason I haven’t updated . Use it like 99.9% of the time .

[@Driven-Productions]

@@AkpDiwali so it allows you to cover the camera, lane change and lane steer works fine. Comes up with normal steering wheel pay attention asks. I would def pass on FSD unless it was free/transferred.

[@drvladamel]

Look forward to driving one of those cars soon!

[@Driven-Productions]

Come on down to the HQ and give it a try. It feels more refined than that S P100D you rocked for years.

[@ThroughElectricStorm]

Hello, does the Model X have blind spot sensors on the side mirrors?

[@Driven-Productions]

They got ride of the sensors just recently, but the cameras are always watching and it’s same thing. Will beep and warm you if you make a move.

As you I also bought Model X and had the FSD transferred over from my Model 3. However, on the screen it still shows FSD expires in Feb. 2024 . Which is a 3 months trial. Wondering if this was the case for you. Great comparison of two cars by both of you. Thx

[@kennethgordon9837]

Any issues with phantom braking?

[@Driven-Productions]

Not on this model, yet anyway. But did on my S P100S with FSD a few times. This one does monitor you closely, and forces you to truly pay attention. Its too much for me at the moment, Tesla needs to dial that back a bit.

[@kennethgordon9837]

@@Driven-Productions Thank you for that. On roads not so well marked my 2023 MYP would sometimes tend to phantom brake. So I just leave auto off unless I’m on the freeway

[@Gymtechshoes]

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering how did you get your FSD transferred. I want to buy the X and have a 2018 model S with FSD. I asked my Tesla rep and they said no a few weeks ago after test driving the X.

[@Driven-Productions]

It was a promotion Tesla emailed/texted me, if I took delivery of the car by September. I told them late August I could not take delivery by then but would order if they extended it. A week later Tesla announced they extended the promotion to take delivery by end of year, and I completed the order in time to get one in 2023. Transferred the day I picked it up.

[@highprofits2]

On my 2018 Model X, my 22in wheels went 65k-70k miles before tires needed to be replaced

[@Driven-Productions]

Without the camber kit? I honestly don’t believe it. Was lucky to get 20k out of a set. 2018 must be better than 2016.

[@sylvanusanthonio7989]

How often did u have to rotate tires?

[@Jaycee3]

10:25 Sorry, Chris. "15% longer" vs a gas car is an extremely low estimation. Let's be honest. It's probably 50% (conservative estimate) or more ESPECIALLY with the range of the older models along with their slower charging capability. If you have the newer Tesla models, it's a cinch.

[@Driven-Productions]

You know, I have to agree. Although keep in mind the 2018 model would do a decent Level 3 charge, but not as much as our Gen 2 can sustain. Appreciate you watching and sharing regardless, it all helps our little community.

[@airman88a]

The rear tire wear is similar to the wear on the Model S with the 21s. This flaw/ failure of design is 1000% on Tesla. The tire wear on the S with the 21’s does not exist with the standard 19’s. Can’t speak to the 20’s on the X. Tesla should offer an adjustable rear camber. Tesla needs to take responsibility for this unnecessary and unsafe tire wear. Their design flaw has been solved by aftermarket companies which should embarrass Tesla. I know the Tesla fanboys don’t care….more money than sense. I guess someone has to be seriously injured or killed, or someone in senior Tesla management needs to get stranded in the middle nowhere for something to change. Tesla had the opportunity to change the car world, but they failed. They put and keep their customers service too far down the priority list.

"most people couldn't drive on this road successfully". Thats a delusional comment of the day for me.

[@Driven-Productions]

Well context was the Titan truck driving in front of us with a human was far worse than FSD navigating that road. Maybe they were looking at their phone or just a bad driver who knows. Remember FSD is always driving 100% dialed looking at everything, and it will force you to take over if it can’t make the right call in the moment. Version 12 is scary good, you just have to experience it to get what I’m saying.

[@Driven-Productions]

Well low resale value now due to sky high rates, but during Covid these held up well. The X is a way exotic car and bit more luxury, and frankly for what they cost today I just don’t see why anyone would buy the Y. I mean shoot you can get low mileage X’s for less than a Model Y now pretty easily.
