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 known for its impressive range, versatile seating, and distinctive Falcon Wing doors. It offers between 301 and 314 miles (WLTP) from its 100kWh battery, with real-world driving typically yielding around 250 miles. Available in five-, six-, or seven-seat configurations, it boasts a vast boot and an additional front trunk, making it one of the most practical large electric family cars available.

While the Model X Performance offers exhilarating 0-60mph times as low as 2.6 seconds, even the Long Range variant is exceptionally quick. Its driving experience prioritises unflappable grip and acceleration over sporty handling, with good refinement and comfortable air suspension. The cabin features a dominant 17-inch touchscreen controlling most functions, and charging is convenient via Tesla Superchargers or a standard CCS socket. Running costs are generally lower than petrol/diesel alternatives, though tyres and insurance can be expensive.

Best for: Buyers seeking a highly practical, fast, and long-range electric SUV, families needing seven seats, and those who appreciate advanced technology.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling, those sensitive to high initial purchase costs or potentially high tyre and insurance expenses, or buyers expecting traditional luxury build quality.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Model X if: You're seeking a highly practical, fast, and long-range electric SUV, you need seven seats for your family, or you appreciate advanced technology.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling, are sensitive to high initial purchase costs or potentially high tyre and insurance expenses, or expect traditional luxury build quality.

Competitive Position: The Tesla Model X stands out as a fantastically versatile MPV/SUV crossover and an exceptional electric car. While it may not offer the most engaging driving experience or the perceived build quality of some rivals, its outrageous performance, long electric range, and status as one of the only large seven-seat electric cars make it highly appealing. It offers significantly lower running costs than combustion-engined alternatives and boasts class-leading technology, making it a strong contender for those who can justify the purchase price.
