EV Channels Review

The reviewer critically assesses Tesla's most expensive offering, the Model X Plaid, questioning its $120,000 price tag against other Tesla models like the Cybertruck and Model Y. While acknowledging unique features such as the Falcon Wing doors, which offer excellent accessibility for children, the reviewer highlights significant drawbacks. These include the unreliability of the automatic door opening system in garages, the lack of essential features like front bumper cameras and ultrasonic sensors for the front doors (relying instead on a sometimes-flaky vision system), and the absence of modern amenities like RGB ambient lighting found in cheaper models. The reviewer also notes the dated interior design and the controversial yoke steering wheel, despite its visibility advantage. Ultimately, the Model X is portrayed as a neglected halo vehicle, failing to justify its premium price due to a lack of recent upgrades and the availability of more compelling, less expensive alternatives within Tesla's own lineup.
