TESLA MODEL X PLAID FIRST UK TEST. PART 1 OF 2 - DETAILED WALK AROUND AND INTERIOR DIFFERENCES

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed walk-around of the European-spec Tesla Model X Plaid, highlighting its interior and exterior differences from previous models. The reviewer praises the updated cabin design, new 17-inch landscape screen with adjustable tilt, and the responsive Tesla software. Significant changes include the introduction of the Yoke steering wheel (with a discussion on its usability, especially on roundabouts), the elimination of the traditional drive selector stalk in favor of screen-based controls, and a new 22-speaker sound system with active noise reduction. Build quality is noted as a mixed bag, with some panel gaps on a €150,000 vehicle being a point of criticism. The reviewer also touches upon the improved charging speed (up to 255 kW) and the practicality of the six-seater configuration, though rear-seat space is described as tight for taller adults. Overall, the interior is deemed significantly improved and more premium-feeling, with the reviewer expressing a growing temptation to order one despite initial reservations about the Yoke.
