A word about the yoke. I have been driving the Model S with the yoke for almost a year and I find it far more comfortable on long trips with autopilot. However, a serious problem with both the yoke and the wheel is that the horn is a button off to the side and the turn signals are mounted on the wheel. In an emergency, where you need to honk the horn, no one will be able to do that, especially if the wheel/yoke is turned.
Tesla has rolled out an update where you can press on the steering forcefully and it will honk, so in an emergency you don’t have to search for the button
I really appreciate your honest opinion on all of your Tesla’s that you have owned! In fact, I based my purchase of our Model Y Performance on your suggestions and plan to purchase a Model 3 Performance to replace our second car also based on your videos and our experience with the MYP.
Bro this is theee BEST review i have seen of Tesla/Teslas!!! You break it down to the smallest of details and I love that, coming from someone who is looking to buy! So thank you bro! Keep it up🔥💪
Wow, such a great overview on the X, I was sitting on the fence for a 2020 Raven Long Range Plus, took it out for a test drive, it has full radar and USS sensors so a great model year, only issue is charging is not as fast as current series. I think the model X is one of my favourite cars and now with version 4 includes the radar again and higher resolution cameras, but no USS sensors, to bad.
I’m taking delivery of our new Model X Plaid in two days. As a fellow Coloradan what accessories do you recommend? I have two smaller kiddos. Snow, Sun and cargo are top of mind. Appreciate your videos, insights and candid feedback.
I noticed your camo wrap on your X. I’m also in Colorado, close proximity to Green Mountain, are you able/willing to share who you used to install the wrap and tint your windows? I’ve only used dealerships with my other vehicles, not overly impressed.
Hi great video but I have one question I’ve always wondered on opening the front doors and parked next to cars relatively close to your car I always wonder does it give you anxiety that you’ll hit the other car parked next to you or can you atleast guide it to prevent it from hitting the other car, this is the one thing hindering me from upgrading from a model Y to a model x just didn’t like that they don’t give you an option also to manually open the door from the inside
On cars that do swing out all the way and probably on future updates to this one. It actually consents the distance, and either keeps the door close to the car, swings, open, partially, or can swing open wide. Every time I’ve ever had a passenger, she always freaks out when I open the door for her that it’s going to slam into the car next to us, and she goes to grab it… But I often tell them just watch, it knows where it is in space.
if you’re “fighting the door” there’s something wrong. mine opens enough to get out. I must fight it only if there’s an object behind the door. Tesla app and service Center whilst it’s still in the warranty.
I think people should buy a ev with closer to 350 miles range and one that has screens in front and back . Depreciation only matters if you don’t keep your car fir 6 years .
Thanks for the good Video. You are right with the price strategy from Tesla. Other car maker you get 20% discount or 0% depends when you buy it is also not perfect. I like cars so I spend some money on them but I know that the money is wasted as soon as I have done a buy. My question : How are the parking going. I have a 2020 Model S and with the sensors I can get in really small spots. This is really handy in big cities. How is it working with vision? Greetings Hartmuth
Tesla needs to add a power feature to the FRUNK, and a proper armrest on the rear seat in the 5-pax model. It's your top-of-the-line vehicle. Come on Elon. I dumped the 21s on my 2022 MYP for some squared 18s from TSportLine. It's like an entirely different vehicle.
even with the price discount, I could still buy a model 3 and Y for the price of an X. Also looking at one side by side next to my Y, it just doesn't look that different enough
Hey, great video🎉, I am debating about whether getting model x plaid or model s plaid, for the x the door the glass on top of you and the extra clearance than the s is great. And for the s the low Center of gravity the look the stability is awesome. I am single and only live with myself, the the model x six seat is meaningless to me, and I like to carry my mtb my skis inside my car to the parks, the model s plaid can fold all the way down and no problem talking all these stuff, whereas model x plaid can only do six seats I am afraid about can not put my bike inside? Could you give me some advice on whether choosing model x plaid or the s plaid, I currently drive a y p but it is so bumpy for Boston road, and I have had test drive for both x and s. I would like to hear some advice from you.😊
There is no way in Tesla Model X you cannot fold down both third and sevond row of seats. With all those seats folded you have more hight then Model S for luggage. If you plan using a roof rack then it is not possible on Model X. However both can mount an aftermarket rack for bikes on tow hitch which is lower to the ground for mounting/unmounting, yields more efficiently and longer range for the car. If you are a true adventurous person then go with Rivian since from next spring you will have an adapter to use Tesla Superchargers. Some folks prefer waiting for Tesla Cybertruck. If I were so adventurous I would go for Chevrolet Silverado EV due to its huge battery and range and once again a Tesla Superchargers adapter coming in the spring. The most adventurous folks towing regularly might go for RAM Charger - an extended range EV truck with a relatively large battery and engine to fall on in case of need.
The Trunk Lid on my Model X can be taken out and inserted at a lower height. That helps to keep items from flying forward. I assume the Plaid verison may have this same feature.
@@squaredawayeveryday while watching your video I noticed a notch cut out several inches below the hinge. I assume the floor board is removable and can be inserted into the notches to lower the trunk floor lid. I'm not 100% certain though since it's slightly different from my model.
As you have owned all the tesla models, do you have a favorite overall? Furthermore, which would you say handled the most athletically? Currently I own a model 3 performance and I am debating on getting an X plaid. Thanks!
I have the same exact car seat on my Model Y. I tested it on a Model X and found 2 big drawbacks: 1) The car seat’s headrest leans on the vehicle’s headrest and looks like it can break or something. 2) The top tether has to run on one side of the vehicle’s headrest and it’s impossible to tighten it. How do you deal with those?
Sir will you please honestly suggest me to buy a model Y for doing Uber black or you suggest any other model ….. I will be in the Tesla showroom tomorrow….. but my choice is model Y or X …. What do you think sir ?
Between the X and the Y, I will always go with the Y. The Model X doors are very unreliable. In my opinion, is a very complicated car. You need to find out if a Model Y would be considered Uber Black@@miazahmed3930
im on the fence because i REALLY just want a 5 seater or a 7 because i want to be able to fold flat.. but want the 0-60 / power. been sitting on this decision for weeks now
@@BenHillFinest wanted a 6 seater so my dog has enough room in the back and tbh the captains chairs are just way cooler and prob more comfortable for passengers
He didn’t talk too much on the Falcon wing doors. Disappointed. The Falcon wing doors are heavily criticized for not being reliable and expensive to fix. Plus, they suck in crowded parking lots (to the contrary of other opinions out there, they don’t tell you the full story)….. especially with adjacent side mirrors! They simply will not detect someone else’s side mirror and will clunk into it…and may even damage it! Stay away from the X
Kinda depends on what vehicles you already own. If it’s your only vehicle I’d do an X, if you’re just looking for a fun vehicle I’d get an S. But if I could choose one out of the entire Tesla line up I’d do a Model Y Performance.
Tesla needs to be careful with their sudden price changes, they don't want to be known as the brand that depreciates and devalues their cars to the point of alienating their existing customers (or even new customers). A person would ask themselves why would I buy that car if its going to lose half of its value in one year.
I never use regeneration because I don't want to add charge cycles to the batteries.... If it's on a mountain road going down a few miles, yes... But not always
When is Tesla going to add double-glazed windows all around and use more sound deadening material. This is a $100K car. No excuse. Bring back the horn too. This is the NHTSA problem. A proper horn should be regulated into law.
My refreshed 2022 Model X Plaid is VERY loud inside. Much louder than our 2021 Model Y...drivability of the MY is better than the MX too. Regarding the Yoke, the turn signals are in a silly place. Each time I drive my thumb always will always accidentally brush the turn signal buttons and I find myself driving with my turn signal on...there are a lot of really dumb innovations with this vehicle. Oh, and just try to keep the sun out of your eyes...with those really dumb sun visors...really? Who was the idiot that came up with that idea?
@@BenHillFinest I've had the vehicle for a year. In that time I have adjusted to the nuances of the vehicle...not all are good, not all are bad. It's human nature, we adapt...I find myself now wearing a ball cap when driving for the sun in my eyes with sunglasses...which I never had to do in any other vehicle I've ever owned. The seats, they are prone to puncture and tearing. My drivers seat now has a tear on the bottom near the left thigh area...how it happened, I have no idea. The really down side is after I purchased Tesla devalued the vehicle over $30k (which I will never see again). If you are considering a Tesla, I wouldn't necessarily back away just know that no vehicle is perfect AND Tesla has absolutely NO customer loyalty benefits at all none, nada, zip. The short of it, given a do over, I would have stayed with the MY and saved my (very) hard earned money rather than giving it to the thieves at Tesla to line their pockets.
@@squaredawayeveryday not the Model S? I am looking into the Tesla line up & i'm torn between a Model Y and the Model S - We are a family of 5, but I will be driving the vehicle by myself most days. I currently drive a GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab.
@@Trump4Pres2024 I'm in the EXACT same situation. Especially with the price reductions, the Model X Plaid and the S Plaid are the same price. The S looks better and maneuvers better, but....the X is more car for the same price. I can't make up my mind! 🤷♂️
@@Trump4Pres2024 for what it's worth, I owned an older Model S 5-6 years ago and an older Model 3 as well. The air suspension in the S makes it a considerably better drive than the 3 / Y. Take a test drive
Best review I’ve seen so far.
Fast paced and no bs. Thank you!
I’ve had the model X since it’s debut in 2016 and I have to say this review is one of the best out
Much appreciated

@squaredawayeveryday hi, quick question since you've had a plaid MS and now MX. Which do you prefer and why did you switch from S to X. TIA
Do you experience the "shudder" issue in the front wheels/axel mentioned by some X owners..? Also corrected by an aftermarket control arm part....

Range degradation already??? Are you sure it’s not just about recalibrating the battery? I have it since 2018 and I have 7% degradation.
Is your interior cream or white, hard to tell with the lighting.
Nice Submariner to pair with the car! 👀👍🏻
How’s the cream interior holding up? Still love it?
Still love it, and it's holding up great.
@@squaredawayeveryday Did you us a liquid treatment and how often?
@@aphilerad I didn’t end up using any seat treatments.

Keep your M3P, hands down the most “athletic”, and certainly the most fun!
@@squaredawayeveryday awesome! Thanks for the response😀
A new feature i hadnt read about, the hoetitch. Might order an Model X afterall

Every vehicle sucks in a crowded parking lot😅 try opening a regular car door in a crowded parking lot.... yeah, you can't!
So nice to watch a review of TeslaOS in dark mode. I hate watching washed out reviews of the all white OS.
Maybe because of the wrap the car has problems with finding a signal to lock/unlock?
Not sure what to get model x plaid or model s plaid. What would you get if you had to pick one?
100% X, the s just looks to be a little bigger model 3, and they keep bringing down the price because not a lot of people are interested in it,
