Tesla Model X (2016-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
One of the most practical electric SUVs	Expensive to buy new
Hilariously quick	Not as fun to drive as some rivals
One of the only large seven-seat EVs on sale	Lumpy ride on really big alloys

Quick Summary

The Tesla Model X (2016-present) is a fantastically versatile electric SUV/MPV crossover that offers an official driving range of 301 to 314 miles (WLTP), with real-world expectations around 250 miles in varied conditions. Available in five-, six-, or seven-seat configurations, it boasts exceptional practicality with vast boot space, innovative Falcon Wing rear doors, and a front trunk. The Model X delivers extraordinary performance, with the Long Range achieving sub-5.0 second 0-60mph acceleration and the Performance variant managing 2.6 seconds, whilst maintaining impressive refinement and comfort for daily commuting.

The Model X excels as a family car with excellent versatility, though it prioritises comfort and practicality over engaging handling compared to rivals like the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol, diesel, or plug-in hybrid alternatives, with home charging costing less than equivalent fuel consumption. The intuitive 17-inch touchscreen system controls all functions, and access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network makes long journeys manageable. As one of the only large seven-seat electric vehicles available, it represents an exceptional choice for families seeking premium electric capability.

Best for: Families requiring seven seats, those prioritising practicality and electric efficiency, buyers seeking impressive acceleration, and drivers with access to home charging facilities.

Not ideal for: Those seeking engaging driving dynamics comparable to traditional sports SUVs, buyers concerned about high insurance costs, or those unable to justify the premium purchase price.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Model X if: You need seven seats, prioritise practicality and electric efficiency, seek impressive acceleration, or have access to home charging facilities.

Consider alternatives if: You desire engaging driving dynamics comparable to traditional sports SUVs, are concerned about high insurance costs, or cannot justify the premium purchase price.

Competitive Position: The Tesla Model X stands out as the only large seven-seat electric vehicle in its class, offering unmatched practicality and performance. Whilst the Volvo XC90 T8 provides a plug-in hybrid alternative with excellent user ratings, it cannot match the Model X's pure electric efficiency or acceleration. The Audi E-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC are five-seat only offerings, making them less versatile for larger families. The Model X's combination of space, performance, and low running costs makes it the premier choice for those seeking a premium electric family SUV, despite its higher purchase price and insurance costs.
