2025 Tesla Model X Plaid

"Review of a Model X Raven by German Autogefühl. Interesting findings - He is impressed with the quality progress!! Autogefühl has made a new second review of the updated Model X Raven. He is really impressed with the quality of the updated version. He's saying theres is no build quality difference between this new Tesla model X Raven, and the German luxus cars! - And that is a big thing! He is always very fair and unbiased in his reviews - take a look at the review of the ID3 to see how hard he is going after the bad software..."

"Tesla Model X P100D hauls over 2,000 lbs like a champ I was inspired by the positive feedback my last post got (from the road trip I did) and wanted to share this too... I just bought a camper but the X's hauling limitations are 5,000 lbs, so my options were limited. I decided to buy an A Liner LXE 2021 because it's relatively cheap ($20k) and has all the things two people (and two dogs) would need (including a shower and toilet) and it weighs a cool 1,900 lbs. (\~2,200 fully loaded with our stuff). I was super impressed with the Tesla's ability to haul it (without charging mid-trip), especially given the +/- 4k elevation gain between Boise (2,730′ elevation) and Stanley (6,253′ elevation). On the way back (128 mile trip), I used \~190 miles of my battery. In other words, I made it with 80 miles left on a 270 mile charge. Someone asked for more pics so here... ​ Me driving the thing out of the dealership A Liner popped open The camping setup Inside!"

"First 10 months of owning a Tesla Model X in SoCal, by the numbers My "year 1" analysis won't happen until October, when I'll have 1 year of solid data from TeslaFi.com to analyze. However, this is 10 months of ownership, and before my annual job/gig starts where I'll be driving 300mi/week commuting to work. I'm curious how even more driving will change this data, if at all. For the record, I purchased and received my Tesla Model X 75D as new inventory vehicle from Maryland, received the vehicle on June 30, 2017. I used a friend's referral code, so I received a discount and free unlimited supercharging for life of vehicle. Service center repair/visits include: 1. Body shop/repair for passenger side FWD realignment, repaired in 3 days while I was out of town. 2. Passenger side FWD proximity sensor came loose, door frequently thought an obstruction was near the door, preventing it from opening without override. <1 day repair. 3. Uncorking, <1 day repair. 4. Annual service (12 month), I had damaged the passenger rear fender flair, Service Center in Burbank had the part in stock. Cost was $55, installation was free (took less than 15 minutes to remove old and install new). <1 day repair, but I needed to travel for work, so I took a Model S 100D loaner. Some data: I'm on SoCal Edison Time of Use "B" plan, so summer months (June - Sept), overnight charging costs $0.12/kWh. Rest of the year, overnight is $0.13/kWh. I didn't pull all the data or try to dive into costs of charging during summer vs charging rest of the year. Since the bulk of my data is October 2017 through August 2018, I'll price it closer to the non-summer pricing, $0.13/kWh. 3 of 10 months at $0.12/kWh, so let's say $0.127/kWh on my data. My use of the unlimited free supercharging since October 2017: 1394.36kWh, or $177.08 not charging at home. My charging at home: 5055.8kWh, or roughly $642.09, from October 2017 to August 2018. Since I bought my car, I've driven 18,286.17 miles in 13.5 months. I only have data from October 20, 2017, where my earliest Odometer reading was 13,471.88 miles. That brings the cost per mile of operation (not counting cost to own) down to $0.0477 per mile. No way to count how many miles using EAP, but it has made longer road trips much more enjoyable and easier. Total maintenance cost so far was $650 for the first "annual" 12 month service. Also, had to buy a rear wheel flair for $55, installation was gratis. Repair/maintenance costs in 10 months: $705. BMW X6 M is another 6000 GVWR vehicle, gas tank is 22.4 gallons, and gas economy is 14/19. So is the X5. 2019 Buick Enclave also, gas tank is 22 gallons, and gas economy is 17/25. Assuming a gas price of $3.10 (which is actually less than real world prices in LA), every fill up is $68.20. If doing all freeway driving in any of those 3 vehicles (a large assumption, keep it in mind when considering costs; driving these cars in traditional SoCal traffic, geography, and weather, will result in low"

"2016 Tesla Model X charges faster than 2019 Audi e-tron (real life comparison) For this comparison I used two videos. Bjorn video comparing fast charging and nextmove video comparing consumption at highway speed (120 km/h) . [They use P100D and 90D respectively, but it shouldn't make a big difference]. Quick math... E-tron usable battery is 83 KWh. It charges from 4% to 100% in 43 min. With highway speed consumption of 305 wh/km it means 272 km range. In a Model X with a consumption of 248 wh/km you need 67 kWh to get the same range. It took 39 min for the Tesla to charge 67 kWh. So in then end to charge the same range (highway speed) it takes: 43 minutes with e-tron "today" 39 minutes with Model X "in 2016" I can't wait to see the same comparison with the 2019 more efficient Model X. It should also be able to charge at 200 kw. Too bad that it doesn't have CCS port in Europe yet. Comparing them at the same Ionity charger would be perfect. (Yes, you can actually use the adapter...)"

"Goodbye Tesla (Long Story) I’ve been an EV enthusiast for quite some time and have even had the privilege of working with some major players in the space, including Lucid and Rivian. So I’m very familiar with EV products, charging infrastructure, build quality, and the all-important cost equation. My first Tesla was a leased 2020 Standard Range Model 3. As we all know, it’s a great little car that serves its purpose—but it also leaves plenty to be desired in build quality, luxury, size, and overall style. My most recent Tesla was a brand-new 2024 Model 3 Performance with just 8,000 miles on it. There were a few initial hiccups—Tesla had to adjust the steering column, and the dealer somehow installed the wrong tires on a staggered Performance setup—but since it wasn’t purchased directly from Tesla, I won’t fully blame them. That said, I was still kidding myself. Yes, it’s quick. Yes, HW4 is solid. But the same shortcomings were still there. And no matter how fast it is, it’s still a Model 3—even in Performance trim. Reality check: I have two kids—one in a booster and one still rear-facing—so I had absolutely no business daily-driving a Model 3 Performance. My wife does own the Etron SUV version so the kiddos mostly ride in that. I’ll occasionally take them to school and when we go out but there mainly in her SUV. But the deal was good, curiosity won, and I wanted to see if I could make it work. Before that, my daily was a 2019 C63 AMG, my heart has been in Germany for a while. I owned both cars outright, which gave me the freedom to experiment. Over the years, I’ve owned plenty of sport sedans, mostly European, so compromises don’t go unnoticed. Looking for more space, I had what I thought was a great idea: buy a used 2020 Tesla Model X directly from Tesla. I did my Reddit research—some horror stories, but mostly happy owners—so I felt confident. That confidence lasted about five minutes. The moment I drove off the lot here in Las Vegas, I noticed steering wheel vibration and grinding/crunching noises when turning. Turns out Tesla’s “multi-point inspection” isn’t exactly exhaustive. A service appointment quickly revealed bad front half-shafts. Add in cosmetic issues like a squeaky second-row motor and creaking trunk struts, and things were already off to a rough start. The half-shafts were replaced, but the vibration persisted. Trunk struts were scheduled for mobile service, and I immediately booked a second appointment. That’s when the advisor casually told me, “Honestly, you should just buy a Model Y—there are so many problems with the X.” I wasn’t sure whether to appreciate the honesty or file a complaint. Eventually, it was discovered that the wrong tires were installed front and rear, supposedly causing the vibration. They swapped them, balanced and aligned everything, and even replaced the front passenger wheel. In my 36 years of buying cars, I can confidently say this was the worst CPO experience I’ve ever had. Tesla absolutely droppe"

"Apr 6, 2023617671Colorado Update - car is in service, tech confirmed the heavy vibration and said "definitely not normal". They have isolated it to the front drive unit and are sending it to engineering to confirm that what they think it is is in fact what they think it is (a failing drive unit...already....after 500 miles on a brand new car...). Once engineering confirms or gives a better idea on what it is, repairs will either take place or they will lemon the car (unbelievable). The tech notes in the image attached is in addition to the direct verbal commentary I got when the service rep called me about 10 minutes ago. Apr 6, 2023617671Colorado Another update - they are keeping the car this week as they work with engineering to ID the problem with the front drive unit."

"Why is the navigation system in the Tesla such a POS? I am visiting an area and through pure luck of having arranged a ride share, my ride that I get to take twice a day is a Tesla model X Signature. I will admit I knew very little about these cars other than gawking at them online and glancing over their specs, but getting to ride in one a lot I am a huge fanboy now, sadly out of my financial reach though, but something to aim for, it is an amazing vehicle and I have to say the gull wings have spoiled me for anything else. However as much as I am wowed by the giant flat panel in the dash, I am extremely unimpressed and dissapointed by how just incredibly terrible the navigation system is. Google maps on my iPhone is far superior, what gives? This is an extremely expensive, luxury car designed by Musk and a team of people that I would assume would want nothing but perfection in such a vehicle. It is extremely slow, when it draws the Navigation route you can actually see it draw, if you go off route, it takes a long time to catch up, redraw and reroute. If you do the pinch and zoom or expand it is very temperamental, does not respond quickly and takes a long time to redraw, especially when zoomed in. There are almost no navigation details to help guide you, unlike on my phone I get names of all the shops and things around me, I get 3D buildings, I get all kinds of very useful, little things that I don't even have to select as extras or layers in google maps to help guide me. When you type in an address, it has no idea where you are and might first suggest a place with a similar name in a different state or not give you the closest of two locations. It never has remembered any of our past locations even though we are going to the same place every day we have to type in the entire address, it never comes up as a history. Even though the driver of the car is logged in. Granted I know nothing about the cars systems but I figure since I see the drivers name at the top of the flat panel and it has recognised her key, that must mean it should be able to remember her driving history, no? Seems logical. One of the things I really find useless is that we have a longish trip everyday, thus the navigation route on the screen is long, but as we drive it and get into town where there is lots of buildings and turns, the map does not zoom in, it stays zoomed out showing this long route and the giant arrow for the car just wiggling around where all the turns are at. You have to manually zoom in to see the route up close. A driver should not have to do that. Every GPS I have every seen, gives the driver the forward view, turn by turn directions, so the GPS looks like the windshield as if you were driving or you can switch to the overhead view and see the whole route. I could go on and on with problems it has, but in short, it's a very poor system and the driver is constantly frustrated by it. The Tesla us supposed to be all about safety, but thi"

If Teslafi is to be believed, very few cars exceed rated range, although capacity above 96.4 KwH may be hidden.
