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

[@brandonn161]

@@sender5804 I'm one of those people that don't care for the newest and greatest. I just wanted a more spacious car. Only reason why I even got the Y is because of the .99 APR. It was just the right time. If it weren't for that, I'd still stick with my 3. The last car I had before the 3, I had it for 11 yrs.

[@DavidVanderburgh]

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.

[@EverydayChris]

love the kia ev9 but the x hits different

[@gsogymrat]

I test drove the Kia EV9 and it was not for me. I understand what you mean when you say it feels old.

[@DavidVanderburgh]

I really wanted to like the EV 9. Gravity looks promising. Meanwhile I will enjoy my Model X. Just returned from a 1500 mile trip- charging absolutely no problems. Oh yeah, FSD is really working well- spouse does not like it when I drive without it!?!

[@bayareamacaddict]

I wish my model X had a front bumper camera.

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

great video but I can tell you’re becoming a hater 😂 for example, the doors closing by tapping the brakes. Well first both the front and back doors do it. And second, idk the only other car I can think of with that feature is a Rolls Royce… 😅

[@Sw33tBabyRays]

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.

[@uyendoan1060]

It sucks that almost all previous tesla owners got screwed big time 😢

[@ithomas101]

I mean...they decided to buy a car during the chip shortage in the pandemic and all cars were overpriced at that time. I waited to buy my used MY 2021 at the beginning of this year for 31K and saved so much.

Useful review. Appreciate the honest opinions.

[@E.L.U.X]

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

[@EverydayChris]

Agree

[@gsogymrat]

The suspension is significantly better than the refreshed Model 3 and expect it will still be better than the refreshed Model Y unless Tesla puts in air suspension.

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

that’s why I wait a couple years to buy your old one 😜

[@donnguyen4284]

Can I buy yours with 60K

[@TopViewFar]

Sorry but I wanna buy every single Tesla model there is, gj on the video Chris! 😂

[@winnerdanny7]

strange that tesla doesn't include a version of an electrochromic glass roof on their premium models when they have a patent for it lol

[@gregstowell4732]

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!)

[@EverydayChris]

haha. I wouldn't say faster charging unless you got the RWD MY. This is also all pre model y refresh

[@lindenlee3705]

yes, you pretty much are correct. As a MY owner for about a year and new MX owner, the MY is more practical at a lower cost, you don't miss much if those you listed are not important to you. In terms of driving experience, I can't say MX is above MY by a large margin, just refinement in many aspects. I am still very happy with MY. One complaint about MX is the signal light on the steering wheel instead of the stalk. Most of time this is fine, but when the steering is turned and there is no way to find the right button to push! One other thing that I don't like about the MX is the display at the front is not touch screen and can't be duplicated to the large screen, making it difficult to make selections sometimes...

[@moisesceja5294]

[@wsu8568]

You would appreciate the falcon doors if you have to car seat young kids. Really. And the look and speed(XP) alone leaves the Y in dust. This is as pointless as saying why go for iPhone pro max when there is SE?

[@tz1592]

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.

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.

[@gsogymrat]

I want a luxury SUV that has NACS, which means either the Model X or waiting for other luxury auto manufacturers to switch. I rented a Hyundai Ioniq 5 for 2 weeks while visiting Los Angeles and charging was a nightmare. Not being able to use Tesla's charging network is a deal breaker.

[@joebullwinkle5099]

I couldn't agree more with you that the current Model X is really past due in terms it's technology and design. It still uses 1865 batteries! I have a Model Y Perf and it's great, however I would consider upgrading to the Model X, but not until Tesla brings it up to date!

[@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.

[@tafl-9198]

Very much agree !! So many features Tesla has to add to their high end Models (steer-by-wire, power frunk, 4-wheel steering, front camera, ambient lighting, etc etc etc). They have to bring back the “WOW”. Also Tesla has to close the feature gap between Model S and Model X. Model S should have automatic doors as well. And then Tesla really has to improve the Model S/X build quality (and sound insulation). 04:09 for a car like this the build quality should be much better. Actually for any car the build quality should be much better. No paint should be rubbing off… Had the same issue with my Model 3, but that went away after door, trunk and hood alignment.

[@davidy5993]

Section 179 depresion only applies if you have a business that makes money and is profitable even after you deduct the depreciated cost. This means you can't just start a business and expect to get a free vehicle.

Tesla has missed a lot of market in not providing its car owners ambient lighting and heads up display, that’s all about the experience⚠️

[@LeonStyChen]

I 100% agree with you! I got mine for ~130k (including tax and 15k FSD) last year. I had so many issues with it including noise from the seat which Tesla tech said it is unfixable. And last time I checked, I got appraised about the same amount you got lol. I regret the Model X purchase a lot!

But it's not good, especially now that many other, better EV's exist. The only thing Tesla has going for it is the software, and more than half of that isn't even in the alpha stage yet lol.

[@MM-bw1lo]

Why would a guy with no kids buy an Model X and start complaining. Some of this is just complaints and maybe you shoulda got another car, please go to Kia. I agree they do need to update the X but you should have just got a 2 row X that you can let down. Some of these KZbinrs buy cars like every year for content and then rag on it when it's seriously a great car with kinks just like any other car on the road. Bro, you can shop around for cheaper insurance, get Tesla insurance, I love it.

[@Hypertyde]

Me watching this after buying a new Model X last month after using your videos as research 😮

[@EverydayChris]

hahaha. Don't get me wrong it's still a good car especially if you have a family

[@kenehong]

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!

[@EverydayChris]

still a great car! Love the falcon doors! Thanks for watching!!

Went from Model Y to 2024 Model X during first FSD transfer period. While the price is higher it is better than the Y like it should be. Ride, drive, sound system, panormaice windshield, features etc. It feels like Im driving the future. I love the Steam Games option, playing a quick classic arcade style game while waiting to charge or someone to get back to the car. Tesla should release an option to open up the middle screen like the 3/Y and maybe only show the speed in the front screen.

Falcon doors make the X special

[@lindenlee3705]

That's our initial reservation about the MX too, would much prefer the sliding doors like on minivans. But eventually bought our MX couple of days ago. Have to say the falcon doors are cumbersome and not that practice comparing to sliding door, but do offer uniqueness, so a cool factor for many owners

[@danielpicerni24]

We are looking at the Model X too. I have a teen in a wheelchair. It’s impossible to put him in a regular car. The falcon doors make it possible for me to lift him without the chance of bumping his head. We have a van for his chair already. However, the can only fits 5. We want to be able to do family trips with my in laws so we need 7 seats.

[@EverydayChris]

Yes 7 seater model x!

[@sherwinm]

@@EverydayChris Have you decided on what you'll replace the X with? Model Y and Cybertruck is a great combo to have already.

[@gensao]

The S&X lines get frequent updates to justify a 3-year leaser to get another S or X. The LR (or trim with no name) has many recent changes: Raven (May-2019) w/drivetrain upgrades, Lychee (Jun-2021) w/HW 3.5, MCU Z, and interior refresh, Palladium+ (Feb-2022) w/ 16GB RAM upgrade, head&tailight upgrade, Palladium++ (Mar-2023) w/HD cameras, HW4, HD radar. I hope the next iteration will include many of your suggested upgrades. Some backend changes from the Cybertruck that would make sense to include are powershare (V2G or V2H) and 48v architecture.

[@antneed15]

I still think Model X is the best family EV available, hate the look of the traditional boxey Rivian, plus nobody beats Teslas UI and style. Model X looks & feels like a spaceship. Love my 2024 six seater !

[@pinolero.]

I drove a MXP from Vegas to Grand Canyon and back. It was great loved the presenting doors, the auto open trunk. Sadly the falcon wings did what they are known for, not work. Those really are the two gimmicks & even the Captain's Chairs are not that, there is no arm rest on them! Just rent one like I did, and get your fix that way.

I bought a 1 year old model Y, low mileage for 27K. My only complaint is the totally shitty way that Tesla does software updates; especially when it comes to FSD. The car itself is absolutely great and I'm totally sold on electric cars but there is no way a Model X is worth it at that price.

[@TheSonyExperience]

Tesla insurance is a joke. I wanted to replace my wife’s Corolla with a 24 Y performance. I had a 21 AMG GLE at the time. Before the quote on the Y I was paying $1300 every 6 months 250/500k boldly and 250 deductible comp and collision. Just changing the Y and bumping collision to 2K for both vehicles and bringing comp to 500 the premium went up to $2500. We ended up both getting 2024 Genesis GV70 electrics with the original values and it only went up to $1500. Tesla buying was terrible on the app. Went in the dealership and was in and out in 4 hours and decided to do two cars since there was a great promo. I’ll consider the S when it refreshes but honestly, Rivian, Lucid, Genesis, and others are killing it. Everyone’s getting Tesla charging soon. So I just don’t see the benefits when other companies are bringing ICE premium features to electric cars. Tesla can’t just be a rolling iPad company anymore. Especially when we are paying so much for a car that loses exponentially more value after buying than other cars

[@miguelmarques7331]

Maybe the new chinese MPVs like Starship X9, Li Mega, EM90, 009 are better than actual TMX but maybe... Do not forget that TMX is the entreprenneur of all new MPVs out there! Plus, LOVE C-T❤ is from another planet ( maybe Mars 😁 ). Hope it arrives in EU 🙏
