2019 TESLA MODEL X STANDARD RANGE - POV FIRST IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

This review of the 2019 Tesla Model X Standard Range highlights its unique features, particularly the Falcon Wing doors, which are praised for their convenience and 'cool factor,' despite a minor incident with one door. The reviewer notes the comfortable and soft ride thanks to the air suspension, which also offers adjustable ride height for varied conditions. Interior quality is deemed better than expected for a three-year-old car, with the vertical touchscreen interface still performing well. However, the vehicle's significant weight (5,500 lbs) is a recurring theme, making it feel massive and heavy to drive, though it surprisingly hides this well. Visibility is noted as a drawback, mitigated by an abundance of cameras. Performance is described as quick, even with only 25% battery, though not as fast as performance variants. Minor issues like drivetrain vibration and a squeaking noise under full throttle are mentioned. The reviewer concludes that while it drives similarly to other EVs, the Model X offers a unique, comfortable, and feature-rich experience, justifying its premium price, especially for city driving.
