The Tesla Model X is an all-electric SUV manufactured by Tesla since 2016. While it may have a hefty price tag, owners who can afford it say it's worth the money, as it handles well, and has a lot of positive, practical features to offer. It's also worth noting that minimal subtle changes between year models also make the Tesla Model X vehicles more relevant and valid, so more of the same will be expected for 2021, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, most drivers would advise not to mess with success.

Read on to understand more of the quirks, perks, and features of the Tesla Model X that are likely to carry on to the next model year.

When it comes to the Tesla Model X, there are pros and cons, as there are with every vehicle. However, most reviewers agree that, despite the price tag, the Tesla Model X is a worthwhile purchase, scoring it 8.4 out of 10 based on the opinions of 23 studies. It's noted to have very advanced technology aboard, like its 17-inch touch screen, as well as very well-equipped safety features.

Brisk acceleration with very poised handling, a long, all-electric driving range, and a spacious cargo area are some of the highlights, and these tend to overshadow any negative feelings regarding interior design and layout or any space concerns about the seats in the vehicle's third row.

Tesla even decided to boost its electric driving range slightly to 328 miles, and the 2020 model makes adaptive suspension a regular feature. The Tesla Model X is highly regarded in its class of all-electric SUVs for its reliability, with reviewers noting that it's rewarding to drive. The Tesla Model X competes against other electric SUVs, such as the Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-Pace.

Starts At Almost $80,000

Beware of the aforementioned high price tag; this model has a base MSRP ranging from $79,990 to $85,000. However, should the price tag be a deterrent, then Tesla recommends models from the previous five model years, as Tesla has made minimal modifications since 2016.

Therefore, most of the features from 2016 are still incorporated and included in some fashion, and most features, specs, and data remain the same. The driving range with the battery is between 341-371 miles. Its curb weight lands between 5,534 and 5,648 pounds. Its MPG is around 109 MPG in the city and 101 on the highway. Note that some of the older models have been recalled, so make sure not to buy one with a recall present.

The all-inclusive driving range was 289 miles in 2016, increased to 328 miles for 2020. The Model X also offers a Long Range Plus model, which accounts for the “371 miles” claim. Electric motors empower the Model X to deliver all-wheel-drive. Tesla also showcases top-hinged rear doors and long-range battery capacity.

Solid Engine And Long Battery Life

Although Model S and Model X production were halted for two weeks, more vehicles will be rolling out soon, with all their many benefits and positive aspects. Two of the benefits of the Tesla Model X are a firmly-built, quality engine, as well as a battery that can go for years and miles.

Tesla has made sure that with every successive Model X produced, the range of a full charge will only increase. Its 371 miles make the Tesla Model X currently the all-electric SUV on the market with the farthest range.

On top of that, Tesla claims the Model X can achieve 60 miles in only 4.4 seconds, with a high-performance variant beating that record, achieving 60 miles in 2.6 seconds. Its electric motors are placed evenly, with one at the front and one at the rear. This not only facilitates all-wheel-drive but also makes stronger acceleration possible.

The battery also covers the range and works in tandem with many Tesla Superchargers across the United States, allowing for easy recharging. While drivers can also charge their Tesla vehicles at home, this method is not as timely or as efficient, though it is more convenient.

A Safe And Comfortable Interior

Unfortunately, the Tesla Model X has its own share of common problems. It's not as user-friendly to Tesla newcomers, who may not be used to the minimalist interior design or the layout of the infotainment system.

The roof also is not made for anything to be mounted to it, as those objects would interfere with the falcon doors. Interior functionality is also partially compromised thanks to the mono-post seats.

However, most experienced Tesla owners say that, while adjusting to the aforementioned problems is an adjustment, these problems are minor in the overall scheme of driving.
