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 stands out as one of the only large seven-seat electric vehicles available. It offers an official driving range of 301-314 miles (WLTP) from its 100kWh lithium-ion battery, with real-world expectations around 250 miles in varied conditions. The Model X is available in conventional five- or seven-seat layouts, with an optional six-seat executive configuration. Its distinctive Falcon Wing rear doors provide excellent access to the third row and look impressively futuristic, though they can be prone to reliability issues and operate slowly.

Performance is exceptional, with the Model X Long Range delivering sub-5.0 second 0-60mph acceleration and 417bhp, whilst the Performance variant achieves 2.6 seconds with 611bhp. The car excels as a refined commuter with minimal wind and motor noise, though it prioritises comfort 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 combustion-engined vehicles. Boot space is generous across all configurations, with five-seaters offering 1,050 litres and up to 2,410 litres with seats folded. The 17-inch portrait touchscreen controls all functions and, whilst requiring familiarity, keeps the dashboard uncluttered.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, spacious electric SUV with impressive performance, those prioritising low running costs, and buyers wanting one of the few large seven-seat electric options available.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking engaging driving dynamics comparable to traditional sports SUVs, or drivers concerned about Falcon Wing door reliability and high tyre maintenance costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Model X if: You need a practical, spacious electric SUV with impressive performance, prioritise low running costs, or want one of the few large seven-seat electric options available.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, seek engaging driving dynamics comparable to traditional sports SUVs, or are concerned about Falcon Wing door reliability and high tyre maintenance costs.

Competitive Position: The Tesla Model X is an exceptional electric SUV that excels in practicality and performance, offering one of the few large seven-seat electric options on the market. Whilst the Volvo XC90 and Mercedes-Benz EQC score higher on user ratings and overall CarGurus ratings, the Model X's unique combination of seven-seat versatility, outstanding acceleration, and low running costs makes it a compelling choice for families seeking an electric alternative. The Audi E-Tron matches the Model X's expert rating but lacks the seven-seat option. For those prioritising luxury and refinement, rivals may edge ahead, but for sheer practicality and electric performance, the Model X remains unmatched in its segment.
