Tesla Model x
this is the all-new tesla model x plaid a comfortable family suv that seats six people and has more horsepower than a bugatti veyron with a 0-60 time of two and a half seconds this is the fastest suv in the world and unlike a bugatti veyron the doors go up when tesla originally released the model x back in 2015 it took the world by storm an all-electric suv that could seat seven people and for whatever reason came with supercar rivaling doors now elon musk claims that it makes it easier to get in and out of in tight spaces but let's be honest we really like it because it looks unbelievably cool fast forward to 2022 and we have this the new generation
of the Tesla model x now to the untrained eye it doesn't actually look a whole lot different and truth be told 99 of the Tesla model x's brilliance lies beneath the surface that being said there are some subtle tweaks and updated sleeker from bumper some nice new wheels blacked out
trim and a nicer looking rear diffuser all told those little improvements result in the lowest coefficient of drag of any suv ever produced at 0.24 there are two variants of the new model x the
base Tesla model x starts at 99 000 comes with
two motors it's all-wheel drive 0-60 in 3.8 seconds which is crazy fast for an suv it also has 332 miles of range now for the crazy few who deemed it necessary to have 1020 horsepower in their daily driver family suv tesla has graced us with the tri-motor tesla model x plaid with over a thousand horsepower zero to sixty in two and a half seconds and actually one more mile of range than
Tesla Model X Review
the base model at 330 miles now interestingly enough the x-plaid starts at 120 grand that's three grand less than the model s plaid even though you get an extra seat and the falcon doors pretty cool tesla has kept it extraordinarily simple with the x giving you just four options to choose from when you're configuring your car that is color wheels interior color and whether you want full self driving or not white is a free color silver blue and black will cost you fifteen hundred dollars extra red for some reason is twenty five hundred dollars it's a little bit of a fancier paint now you've got two different wheel options to choose from 20 inch wheels are standard or the upgraded 22s fitted here they'll cost you 5500 they look a lot better although
they do reduce your range by 20 miles despite its massive size the Tesla model x plaid can run the quarter mile in 9.
9seconds the exact same time it takes the
2 million McLaren p1 to run the same distance now it goes on to a top speed
of 163 miles an hour which is plenty trust me having been that fast in an SUV before going over 200 you you absolutely
do not need that now because the model x
is an electric car that means we've got space in the front trunk area for extra cargo room all told 91 cubic feet of storage which is more than a bmw x7 it's
practical as well it comes standard with a tow hook you can tow up to 5 000 pounds you can even fold the rear seats
down for extra storage who would have thought we'd live in a world where you can have a practical green SUV with 1020 horsepower the Tesla model x plan is
the king of cool doors on the driver's side just tap on the door handle and it will automatically open up no need to manually open your door like some sort
of peasant now if you climb inside a simple tap on the brake will close the door automatically on the passenger side
all you have to do is give a light tap to the door lock and the door will automatically close as well clicking on
the rear door sends that falcon door upwards into the sky allowing you easy
access every single time now don't worry
these doors are smart enough not to smash themselves into a wall or the roof
above you or somebody parked next to you
they've got sensors everywhere and they
won't do that but once it's opened up it
reveals this gorgeous interior now interestingly enough the Tesla model x plaid
only comes in a six-seat configuration
now that is actually the best configuration because it comes with these gorgeous captains chairs the model
x non-plaid is available as a 5 6 or 7 seater the new Tesla model x's interior has
been completely overhauled in the best way possible in fact tesla claims that the only components the new car shares with the old one are the seat rails most notably and causing the most amount of
commotion on the internet is the design
language of the steering wheel it's called a yoke and honestly i really like
it it's shaped kind of like the bottom of a formula one steering wheel and though it does take a little bit to get used to after a couple weeks of driving you adjust to the yoke and honestly i really like the way it makes the driving experience unique from any other car i
mean think about it every other car you're driving has a round steering wheel because of the way this is set up
Tesla Model X The world fastest car
it creates this unique driving experience that is unlike anything else now the first thing you notice honestly when you step in the new Tesla model x plaid other than the fact that the build quality is really nice and it looks fantastic in here i'll get to that is the massive massive front windshield that creates a driving experience that is also like no other vehicle being able to see into the sky i mean it's almost like the entire car is made of glass is really really cool it feels so airy and spacious in here especially out in the malibu canyons it's a great place to be able to see now don't worry if it gets too sunny we have these incredible sunshades that cover 99 of this windshield in reality they absolutely suck and this little vanity mirror is hilariously small but i guess it's better than nothing honestly speaking the interior is very nice it is a radical improvement from the previous generation Tesla model x it almost doesn't feel like it was built by the same company now you've got three
interior color options to choose from there's all black which in my opinion is
a little bit boring but it is a free no cost option then you have the two-tone
black and white which this car has my absolute favorite two thousand dollars and you can get a cream interior for two grand there's also either carbon fiber trim or walnut trim the carbon looks better the front dash is exactly the same as the model s plaid we've got nice wireless charging ports down here as
well as some storage spaces in here and
i love this massive 17-inch display that
works unbelievably well you can play
games you can watch netflix you can
swipe through tick-tock it's actually unbelievable and it also has the first navigation system that i actually find
myself using more often than my phone i
can't say the same about any other navigation you'll notice the design is very clean and simplistic and i love that they've even hidden the air vents that's right the air actually comes out of these little holes in the dash that you can't actually see we also don't have any stock so how do you put the car in drive or use the turning indicators for the turning indicators you've got these touch buttons on the steering wheel itself i actually really like that for the turn indicator same with the brights and the wipers as well now i don't like it for the position of the horn it's this tiny little button right here that honestly is kind of the car just farted when i clicked the horn that's another feature it can fart when you click the horn but if you're in
an emergency situation everyone's used
to going like this but there is no horn right here and it's kind of hard to reach this small little target i wish they'd improved that now to put the car into drive it'sbgot this very unique technology that actually predicts whether you want to go
forward or backward that's called auto shift out of park beta the car senses the surrounding environment you put your
foot on the brake and then when you tap
the gas hopefully it's going in the right direction now i've turned that off so i can have a little bit more control myself in order to put the car in drive you put your foot on the brake and you swipe on this little strip to the side of the screen forward to go forward or back to go into reverse and of course p for park the second row of seats in the model x plaid are incredibly comfortable and you actually have some really cool creature comforts as well i really do love the design language especially this nice chrome trim that supports the seats they're comfortable as well i've got plenty of leg room as well as tons of headroom i even have my
own little mini sunroof above my head which is really really cool we've also got usbc charging ports right here as well as some cup holders there's also a little display back here where i can actually watch netflix while the car is driving which i think is really cool and of course control the climate control now let's move on back to the rear shall
we where surprisingly i also fit uh i've got plenty of space back here i mean it's not the most comfortable thing in the world but as
someone who's five foot eleven i still have headroom and i could sit next to somebody my size no problem also got cup
holders back here as well and more usbc
charging all right let's drive this thing shall we behind the wheel now of
the new Tasla model x plaid and i have to say
this massive panoramic windshield is one
of the coolest things ever driving out here in malibu i just love the visibility that it gives you and it just feels so unique now i'll be honest it doesn't feel like a small vehicle in any way shape or form it does feel significantly bigger and more cumbersome
than the model s does but that being said it's not scary in any way to drive compared to something like a bmw x7 it
actually feels more nimble than that
we've got a multitude of driving modes
to choose from right now we're in plaid
mode for the acceleration you can choose
between chill sport and plaid in chill mode it's very chill it accelerates really slowly and it's honestly boring sport mode it's a little bit quicker and plaid mode is the mode
you should be in at all times unless maybe you're loading it to a friend or your grandmother below that is drag strip mode that is going to optimize the temperature of the batteries as well as
the motors for optimal acceleration and
launching we'll do a launch later see how fast this thing can sprint from zero
to 60.
now below that we've got three levels of adjustability for the steering which i think is really cool in an SUV kind of used to that in sports cars not so much in SUVs we can go comfort mode standard or sport in comfort mode it's really light and easy sport mode is more direct i like that now we can even configure the suspension as well because this rides on air suspension you can adjust the height anything from very low
to low to medium to high to very high
which is really cool if you need to get
over some object or you want to slam it
to the ground so it looks a little bi cooler when you're
