TESLA IS BUYING BACK OUR 2022 MODEL X LONG RANGE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details Tesla's buyback of their 2022 Model X Long Range due to persistent issues, primarily a loud clicking and clunking noise, and a malfunctioning Falcon door. Despite the troubles, which accumulated to 21 days without the vehicle over several service visits, the owner was pleased to receive a full refund, including registration renewal costs, and even a slight increase from the original purchase price. This allowed them to order a new Model X Plaid in Ultra Red. The decision to repurchase a Model X, despite the negative experience, is attributed to a lack of compelling alternatives in the EV market, particularly regarding seating configuration, charging network, and overall value proposition compared to competitors like the Rivian R1S. The reviewer acknowledges the inconvenience of potential future issues but emphasizes Tesla's Supercharging network and the Model X's unique features as key deciding factors. The video also touches upon the process of ordering a new Plaid, referral incentives, and the uncertainty of delivery timelines.
