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 pure electric SUV offering an official driving range of 301 to 314 miles (WLTP), with realistic real-world expectations of around 250 miles in varied conditions. It stands out as one of the few large seven-seat electric vehicles available, featuring either conventional five- or seven-seat layouts, or an executive six-seat configuration. The 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. Boot space is generous across all configurations, with five-seaters offering 1,050 litres and up to 2,410 litres with seats folded, whilst seven-seaters provide 425 litres behind the third row and 2,314 litres with all rear seats down. A 183-litre front boot adds further practicality.

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. Refinement is excellent with minimal wind and motor noise, though tyre noise is noticeable. The adjustable air suspension provides comfort, though larger 22-inch wheels can create a lumpy ride on poor roads. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol, diesel, or plug-in hybrid alternatives, with home charging costing less than equivalent fuel consumption. The Tesla Supercharger network delivers rapid charging, with 100-mile top-ups in around 10 minutes. The 17-inch portrait touchscreen controls all functions and, whilst requiring familiarisation, keeps the dashboard uncluttered. Servicing is variable and triggered by the car, though tyres are expensive and wear quickly given the large wheels.

Best for: Families needing a spacious, practical electric SUV with impressive performance, those with access to home charging, and buyers seeking low running costs and excellent range.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising engaging handling dynamics, buyers concerned about Falcon Wing door reliability, or those seeking the perceived build quality of premium rivals at this price point.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Model X if: You need a spacious, practical electric SUV with impressive performance, have access to home charging, and seek low running costs with excellent range.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling dynamics, are concerned about Falcon Wing door reliability, or expect premium build quality at this price point.

Competitive Position: The Tesla Model X is a fantastically versatile electric SUV and an exceptional family car. Whilst it isn't as engaging to drive as some rivals and doesn't match the perceived build quality of premium competitors, it remains a compelling proposition. It's the only large seven-seat electric vehicle readily available, offering outrageous standard performance, class-leading semi-autonomous driving capabilities, and vastly lower running costs than combustion-engined or plug-in hybrid alternatives. The Volvo XC90 T8 offers comparable versatility as a plug-in hybrid, whilst the Audi E-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC are five-seat only offerings. For those who can justify the purchase cost, the Model X delivers exceptional value and practicality in the premium electric SUV segment.
