IS THE TESLA MODEL X STILL AWESOME IN 2025?

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model X, reviewed here as a 2022 six-seater model, is presented as a premium SUV that, despite its unique features like Falcon Wing doors, struggles to justify its high price point in the current market. While the reviewer acknowledges Tesla's class-leading software, responsive infotainment, and capable Autopilot system, significant drawbacks are highlighted. The controversial yoke steering wheel is a persistent point of contention, criticized for its lack of traditional grip and functionality. Furthermore, the reviewer notes that the Model X's third-row space is cramped, making it less practical than larger competitors like the Rivian R1S or Kia EV9. Road and wind noise are also mentioned as being more noticeable than ideal for a luxury vehicle. Despite its ample power and comfortable air suspension, the $100,000 price tag for a new model is deemed hard to swallow, especially when compared to more spacious and arguably more luxurious alternatives. The used market offers a more compelling value proposition, with the reviewed vehicle being available for significantly less.
