NEW TESLA MODEL X QUICK TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

This video serves as a practical guide for automotive journalists on how to easily test drive and experience Tesla vehicles, highlighting the accessibility of Tesla's service centers for this purpose. The reviewer finds the base Model X Long Range AWD to be a competent and spacious SUV, particularly praising its practicality for families and dog owners, noting the effectiveness of Dog Mode and the ample interior space. While acknowledging the Model X's significant price reduction and strong charging infrastructure, the reviewer points out several drawbacks. These include the aging exterior design, a less premium feel compared to German competitors like the BMW iX or Rivian R1S, and a decline in build quality aspects such as the front doors' auto-open function and the removal of ultrasonic parking sensors, which are now vision-based and less reliable. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the Model X remains a strong contender in the SUV market due to its space, practicality, and Tesla's charging network, especially at its current price point.
