THE TESLA MODEL X HAS A BAD RAP: HERE'S WHY IT'S WAY COOLER THAN YOU THINK | ADVENTURE X EP. 4

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model X, despite a perceived "bad rap" as an "overpriced minivan," is presented as a surprisingly compelling luxury SUV, especially in its 2019 iteration. The reviewer highlights its unique features, such as the automatic and Falcon Wing doors, the expansive windshield with its innovative sunshade system, and the surprisingly practical front trunk and versatile rear cargo space. While acknowledging the previous high price point, the current 2019 model, starting around $84,000, is positioned to compete with established luxury SUVs like the Range Rover and BMW X7. Positives include its advanced technology, strong performance (0-60 in 4.4 seconds for the Long Range), and low running costs. However, criticisms are leveled at the lack of a 360-degree camera, no wireless charging, and the use of older Mercedes switchgear, which might detract from its premium feel for some enthusiasts. Despite these drawbacks, the Model X is deemed a technologically advanced, practical, and still relevant option in the luxury SUV market.
