I just got a model x refresh and this video just made me even more happy about the purchase. thank you for such a thorough comparison, including many things I did not know. driving this car really never gets old. I am also shocked how much power you get at higher speeds (and you nicely explained why!)
Fantastic video. i instantly recognized the NJ scenery lmao. I enjoyed the video the most when you'd show clips of the driving experience. Buttery smooth, seamless, and the minimalistic interior make for dope eye candy. Moreover, it's always great to see a brother in a space we don't predominantly frequent 🤝🏾
I was so happy when i got mine in August! But i have taken it to tesla 7 times for issues with paint, windows, steering wheel. And i haven't had it for 5 weeks now! I'm so mad. I'm supposed to get it back next week. But getting really tired on the 2016 model x we've been driving.
After upgrading from my X100D to Plaid back in May, your thoughts are spot on. But dayummm this refresh is nice!! It just loves pushing up about 140, and the high speed handling with the torque vectoring is stellar for such a heavy car.
Demo can mean test drive car or showroom vehicle in most cases. Ask your advisor how the car was used. Showroom vehicles are a no-no hundreds of people daily inside them.
@@BlackTesla In this case I know exactly the car's story. I ordered it last September, received a VIN, and it arrived in January but with damage from transport. It sat waiting for parts at the service/pick-up center for several weeks. Last week it was finally ready for delivery, but in the meantime the "demo" sale price adjustment was done to other Xs in inventory. The agent said they could not adjust my price but hinted that if it were to be returned to inventory (by putting my order on hold), then it might get the demo tag which is exactly what happened two days later. I then added it back to my account and it's the same VIN as earlier.
We are picking up our 2023 Model X this weekend, a 7 seater. My wife is pretty excited. We have a 2019 model 3, that new Ultra Red Color looks real nice, we might upgrade next year to a Model S or something not sure yet.
Excellent review and comparison with the older X! Excellent level of detail! I did not know anything about the new X having a smaller form factor, but this is actually good. I wish you and your wife many happy and safe miles in your new X. (My only distinction for myself is, I have never traded a new car until it was at least 7 years old, so I would have kept my 2020 for a few more years.) I look forward to your next full self-driving review in your S Plaid when the next new release comes out.
Im currently in a 2019 MSLR and thinking about an X. I hear that 22 and newer are the way to go. Any thoughts on major differences between a 22 and 23? I appreciate your videos and the information you provide.
Do you know if the 2023 version of the MX has solved (or mitigated) the issue with the half-shafts? When you mentioned the car sits lower, my first thought was that is an effort to reduce strain on the half-shafts.
Since they're new there isn't enough data to know whether it's completely been mitigated but there are new parts I believe that have helped it not be present so far (8 months), so we will see.
@@BlackTesla Hopefully they will have solved it to some extent. I have a 2020 LR with 40,000 miles and am already on my 3rd half shafts. Thinking seriously about getting a 2023 because they are offering to allow me to transfer my free lifetime supercharging.
Ended up getting my new X a few days ago, a 2024. I agree with your review of the refresh. Feels much more refined than the 2020, much quieter. Thanks for the video, it helped with my decision.
Congratulations on the new X. I also love the yoke. If it's reassuring, this looks like the same charge port flap as our 22 MS and a year in, no obvious problems on that.
Good video… I know this came out 6 months ago, but I just looked at the dimensions comparing 2018 MX vs 2023 MX and they are exactly the same. I have a 2018 MX 100D w/76k miles and unlimited free supercharging and FSD and was tempted to get the 2023 MX after driving it but wasn’t really a fan of the yoke. I ordered a 2023 MX in Ultra Red with the black interior and a steering wheel. But I’m not sure if I want to give up the free supercharging and FSD (I use it some but mainly just use the basic autopilot features). What do you think about the no park assist stuff? The black exterior looks amazing and I’m on the fence between black and ultra red. Thanks again for the great videos!
Thanks for watching. There is a trade off here in terms of free supercharging. You can charge free at slower speeds or pay to charge at faster speeds. If you travel a lot it may make sense to keep the 18, but the new features, new comfort, and faster charging Trump free supercharging for us and made more sense to upgrade. In terms of colors you already know 🤣 but the red does look good. Go see it in person and go from there.
I ended up getting the 2023 MX Blue/blk interior (it came into inventory). They let me transfer both FSD and free supercharging! The car is so much quieter and feels smoother and faster. I don’t like the steering wheel, might switch to the yoke. Also I’m not a fan of the seats, my 2018 MX the seats were fantastic. I’m sure I will get used to them eventually.
Contemplating purchasing a Model X, and this was a very useful review in helping to inform that decision. I am on the fence for a myriad of reasons, but this review definitely helps in clearing up some concerns. I didn't realize the previous iterations of the Model X were larger, so maybe I will look to a used model since I am a bigger guy...
Thanks you should definitely drive one and get one they are great. To be clear the older X is NOT bigger it just feels bigger, not to say this one is small but it feels more precise than the older models more refined. If you are thinking about getting one now is the time to buy, massive discounts, free supercharging, free fsd beta, and Tesla Credits. I'd suggest ordering now to lock all that in, also consider using our referral code in the description of this video if/when you order, you need to place your order using the code to get the benefits 😎
Great overview. Picking up X plaid next week. After test driving a standard X, I absolutely hate the yoke lol. Had to go with the standard steering wheel.
Man what an amazing review. You nailed it, might be the best review of a car I have seen on TH-cam at least for me personally. I have a 2019 Model X long range and I am debating buying a 2023 Model X long range right now. You should work for Tesla since you sold me. I think you answered every possible question I had. The only annoying part from Tesla is that in order to get the new $7500 rebate you can not order the Yoke wheel or it will go over the $80k mark so I have to get the normal wheel. Anyways thank you so much for your help I truly appreciate it!!🎉🎉
All I heard from this video was: ‘happy wife, happy life.” (1:30) 😂 . Joke aside, great comparisons. Thank you. It gives an idea of what to aim for when upgrading from my model y to model x.
I DON'T OWN A TESLA.....BUT I FIND YOUR VIDEOS VERY HELPFUL IN MY RESEARCH INTO THE MODEL X TESLA THAT I AM INTERESTED IN.....THANKS FOR THE DETAILED INFORMATION.....
My wife and I were discussing if it made sense to upgrade our 2018 Model X 100D just this past weekend. Did you trade in your X or private sell? Do you feel the compensation for your older X was adequate? I have FSD beta, free supercharging, plus an extended mile warranty. I’m wondering if it would be better to sell personal or trade in.
All S/X cars have ambient lighting just not colored or customizable ambient lighting. By default, your 23 X has ambient lighting off. You can turn it on under the lights menu option.
Perhaps you have answered this in the past and I missed it. Do you use PPF or any of the other third party solutions to protect your paint and/or window tinting on your new X or any of your previous Teslas? Thanks.
I have a 2018 Model X 75D its also a 5 seater. We are looking to upgrade to the 2023, went to test drive it the other day and it was a 6 seater, wow so much nicer. The cabin felt huge with the 6 seats vs my 5 seater. The rear screen did look a lot bigger than what I initially thought.
Hi Thanks for sharing I'm still waiting for my MXP in the UK. Quick question is it possible to place the rear trunk cover in an upright position with the trunk well exposed ..this was possible in earlier versions!? keep up the excellent work 🙂
Just an FYI it's technically not smaller but it looks/feels smaller. Yes can confirm it can handle 3 toddlers assuming 1 toddler is in a booster instead of 3 full car seats.
@@BlackTesla with all the talk just over a year ago about the x not having the wheel, I must be crazy opting to get the yoke lol! I like how they put the horn in the middle now and the wheel has no stalks for the turn signals so in my opinion the yoke looks better. Only concern was ice and snow. Thank you for getting back to me and so quickly!
Sir. Thanks for the vid. Quick question. How’s the legroom in the driver’s seat? You look a little tight in the driver seat. Are you able to stretch your legs? I’m 6’2” and am thinking of getting one next year if they bump the miles to 400.
Ive owned 5 Teslas, two Model 3's, two Model Y Performances, and a 21 Model S Refresh. Im currently in a 23 Model Y Performance, which I do love. I keep seeing all these incentives to buy a new Model X, with HW4, etc., and am so close to pulling the trigger. My payment would take a big leap though, about 300/mo. Not sure if I can justify that at the present time, but damn... I sure would like to!
If you can afford it, it's worth it with current incentives. X is the most comfortable Tesla, and the standard is close to the MYP in terms of performance. Add to that the tilting screen, rear media screen and you've got a great family hauler or a super comfortable cruiser
Way cheaper now then when this video was posted… base X is under $80k and US tax credit ($7500) eligible if you qualify. Same vehicle was $121k January 1st 2023. 💸 Just ordered a 5-seater in Ultra Red myself with an extra $1k Tesla loyalty incentive as a 5+ year Model 3 owner. Took a test drive and was blown away! 🤯
The lower the suspension the harsher the ride. There is less suspension travel when you lower the suspension thus the firm ride which is the whole point of lowering it. Firmer ride, better handling.
Yeah I know I was speaking comparatively. The 2020 X on low was more cushy over bumps than thos 2023 on low. On medium they are more comparable but I'd expect newer suspension to be more plush
Thank you for the video it was helpful! I got my delivered last week, was awesome but one thing I wonder is your automatic front door can open 45 or just 20°? My is always 20°.
Congrats 👏🏾 yes the new doors pop open to about 20° then the rest of the way when you are nearby. This is a fix to the previous doors which opened to 45 by default which was dangerous when parked on the street and traffic is passing by. This seeks to address that.
Does the Plaid X (set in Chill) drive similar to the Long Range X? I have a Plaid S and need to do the same upgrade with my wife's X (2020). Would love the Plaid but she is going to be driving it 90% of the time and would prefer something more subtle.
No tax credits but if you value the larger space and superior ride quality then go for it. The standard X is plenty fast too at 670hp 3.8 0-60 so it won't be a complete downgrade in terms of performance.
Hey man, nice review! That looks like Montclair, NJ, really nice area! Price seems to have come down drastically, seriously thinking about upgrading after watching this video. Thanks!
I have a 23 MX being delivered next week. Haven’t even test driven one with the yoke. Hopefully my wife likes it once she drives for a couple days before I consider the steering wheel retrofit. Any changes “updates” of functionality of the rear screen. For instance can the rear passengers “kids” plug-in or use wireless headphones and watch a movie while the front passengers listen to music?
Hey no update for rear BT just yet but it does default change the balance to the rear when the rear screen only is playing content. Not ideal but much better than hearing kids shows out all of the speakers.
Thank you. Sun Glare is not an issue as the windshield is gradient tinted. So you get the protection of a traditional windscreen+roof with the amazing view.
Thanks for the update. You mentioned the 2023 X is smaller in dimension and appears to be lower to the ground, but you did not give the actual dimensions between the 2020 and the 2023. Is it a 'appears' to be smaller or is it actually smaller and what are the new dimensions comparatively speaking. Always enjoy your videos. Black in the model X is indeed beautiful.
It's appears/feels smaller. It's technically the same size and even a little lighter but it feels smaller. You have to see it in person to understand,and getting out of a legacy X and into the new one you will really see and feel it. It's a good thing meaning anytime a big car can feel smaller than it is its a good thing especially if there are no sacrifices in comfort snd space which as I said we fit all of the stuff we had in the other car in this car no problem no compromises.
Suspension doesn't persist past 15mph will go to standard or low on the new X. Comfort also isn't as plush so we had to make a custom preset for "comfort".
Took delivery of a 2023 Model X last week to replace my 2019 Raven S. Thanks for capturing the differences. I didn't expect it to be such a drastically improved experience, but oh my is it ever. I have some creakiness in the falcon wing doors. Is that to be expected?
Thanks for your excellent summary. I have 2022 MSLR and am also waiting to hear how I can get the screen tilt function added as initially promised. Keep us updated on your Plaid screen tilt upgrade issue.
Just ordered the new Model X LR. I hear the 3 & Y no longer have sensors. Can you confirm if 2023 S & X are equipped with ultrasonic sensors? If not, I’ll need to cancel my order.
Depending on when they were built they will have sensors. I believe anything built before mid-feb has sensors. Anything after has no USS from what I'm hearing.
I think it’s a little weird that you go on for about a minute about how much smaller it is… when it’s not. It has the same dimensions as before. The exact same length, width, height. Did you have a black one last time too? It can make it appear smaller to the eye.
Thanks for the comment. It's the same dimensions but it feels and looks smaller you have to see it in person and you have to have them side-by-side. We spent time jumping back and forth transferring things and it was very evident to us. I said it feels and looks smaller I didn't say it was technically smaller. Both cars were black and perhaps the chrome delete contributes to the look.
Hello, great review, my 2023 MXLR is arriving soon, can you advise me if this MX 2023 still got a radar? I mean in your one, is it still installed, I heard that Tesla took it off in new M3 and MY model.
Radar was only removed from the 3/Y but has been on the S/X. However, the software may not be using them. Also this car has the ultrasonic sensors but as of mid-feb builds they are not on the X's. I think part of the discounts being given are to purge all of the USS cars so there is a clear line in the sand for non-USS cars.
Hey I never said it wasn't I said it presented (looks and feels) smaller. On Teslas site in the owner manuals the dimensions are slightly different. 🤷🏾♂️
Hi, I’m 5.11” & was wondering about the Model X’s refresh back area space if I fold down the backseats & put the car in camping mode, how comfortable is it to sleep in? Is it more roomy than a Model S ?
Yes plenty of room to camp. Bigger and taller than the S in terms of camping. The only catch is the slight hump between the back and back seat may need to put a topper or foam down
Very nice clip! Does your Model X still have ultrasonic sensors? If not, do you miss them in comparison to the older Model X? Did you get used to the turning buttons one the yoke instead of the stacks? Thank you
Yes we have USS and that was a requirement for the wife since she needs parking assist at times. Looks like they stop including them for cars built mid-feb. We have the yoke on our Model S Plaid so we are used to the yoke. The wife was able to get in this and feel right at home. She just needed to lose the muscle memory of resting her hand at the top of the wheel 🤣
@@BlackTesla Thanks for your answer! Helped me a lot in terms of deciding to order the new model X. Although it would be a pity not to have the USS. But listening to the rumours another kind of sensor might come after some time. Have a nice day and thank you for your informative channel.
Excellent video! You pointed out so many things that one should consider, I learned a lot. I am going to be buying a Model X shortly. We have test driven the S, Y, and X and felt that the S made us feel a bit claustrophobic for some reason. Both the S and Y did not ride as nicely as the X and maybe that's due to the new enhancements. I do know that the new 2023 X's are arriving with the new 4.0 hardware upgrade that has been rumored to be near production. The one I test-drove had a 4.0. The new cameras had stunning views! The power was fantastic and got a big thumbs up from my husband who loves the fast "off-the-line" of his 6-speed manual sports car. Where do you get the detailed stats on everything that is in the car you are buying? I always want to know that upfront before the purchase is completed. The Specs that are shown on the Tesla pages are vague at best. The car and driver review was a bit better, but it didn't go into the nitty-gritty of the software and hardware. It should be noted that when you live in "very sunny" states like here in California, and other western states, an all-black interior can be a nightmare with the expansive glass roof! I've heard from other owners that lighter-colored seats are not that hard to maintain. I think the only things I disliked were the lack of a good side sun visor (I could feel my skin tightening going north on the 101 in the afternoon) and a larger front sun visor. Even though the front visor swivels in all directions you need to keep moving it more often. Any thoughts or comments on those seemingly small items? Again terrific review!
Thank you the X is a fantastic vehicle and is the most comfortable Tesla to drive hands down. The front windscreen is large but has ample UV and sun protection from the built in tint that fades at the normal roof level allowing maximum visibility without compromising on impact from the sun. The sun visors on the side can be remedied with some legal tinting to the front windows. The stats of the car are all of what Tesla provides on the site but to experience them in person is totally different. For instance the base model X is tuned to be almost comparable to a performance variant Y so it's super quick, and has launch control. As for HW4 you will get that by default now but there is nothing that the car can do that will take advantage of the hardware at the moment. The only exception is the lack of ultrasonic sensors, this is something Tesla doesn't publish on their site and it means you will have reduced functionality until Tesla gets software that can accommodate the non-sensor cars such as autopark and summon. In the end just test drive the car you and your husband as much as you'd like to feel comfortable. I can say that you can't go wrong with any Tesla let alone the X.
you should get the trim done custom. You're Black Tesla after all!! That carbon and black chrome satin or whatever would be sick too :) I've seen people re-sand and re-stain the wood grain to gray, that also looks good.
For families this is the best. Auto-opening and closing doors are next level. Also the falcon wing doors are invaluable for kids middle school or younger.
Depends on you. If you are a bigger (taller or wider) get the X. If you don't have kids and are not taller or wider then go with Y. Obviously if money is a limiting factor get the Y, if not get the X.
Neil deGrasse Tyson's model X, lol. You could imitate him perfectly. Car looks so good in black, agree about the dash, maybe cross stitched leather instead of the woodgrain....
I needed to see this video. Than you! I drove a model 3 for two years as a company vehicle. It is too small for my personal taste so I’m stuck between an S and X. Well not anymore. 🎉
Thank you for this review. Extremely helpful. The comparisons you have done identify the practical reasons for upgrading. I have a 2020 MXLR with FSD and free SC. Other than the bi-annual Service visit to secure or replace door moldings for wind noise I have had no issues. I identified a 2023 MX demo with less than 50 miles and am going through the process. Waiting to see the trade-in value. Will cancel if the offer is too low. Think it is sad that Tesla will not transfer or enable FSD on an upgrade purchase and offer road trip SC. It is all software enabled.
@@BlackTesla I felt the trade in was low, so I rejected. Is the wind noise reduced dramatically from the 2020 MX as you mention in the video. I really like the changes your review points out, but it is a struggle having free SC and FSD and having to pay for EAP again if I upgrade - I would not pay for FSD again. Crazy thing, I don't remember thinking about the cost of fuel for any of the ICE cars that I have had.
One main reason for me to get the model X was the size... If it's close to the Y then don't see the point in getting it compared to the S. I'm 6'1 with my second kid on the way and these kids will be taller than me so def need the more room
You'll have no problem with the X the most comfortable. It FEELS smaller but is still a good sized mid-sized SUV. I'm taller than 6'1" and have no problem so enjoy!
I just got a model x refresh and this video just made me even more happy about the purchase. thank you for such a thorough comparison, including many things I did not know. driving this car really never gets old.

What does the charging curve and taper look like when supercharging on your new 2023 versus the old 2020 model X?

Thanks, yes slightly smaller/tighter
Hi. Thanks for the video. I heard thé car comes with ambient interior lighting, which my current 2023 model y doesn’t have. Can u confirm? Thanks
All S/X cars have ambient lighting just not colored or customizable ambient lighting. By default, your 23 X has ambient lighting off. You can turn it on under the lights menu option.
Great video! Thanks!!
Perhaps you have answered this in the past and I missed it. Do you use PPF or any of the other third party solutions to protect your paint and/or window tinting on your new X or any of your previous Teslas? Thanks.
PPF, Ceramic Coating and tints
I have a 2018 Model X 75D its also a 5 seater. We are looking to upgrade to the 2023, went to test drive it the other day and it was a 6 seater, wow so much nicer. The cabin felt huge with the 6 seats vs my 5 seater. The rear screen did look a lot bigger than what I initially thought.
💯
Hi Thanks for sharing I'm still waiting for my MXP in the UK. Quick question is it possible to place the rear trunk cover in an upright position with the trunk well exposed ..this was possible in earlier versions!? keep up the excellent work 🙂
Yes its still possible, the underfloor is virtually the same
Is that Bear Mountain/Seven Lakes/Arden?
I never heard anyone mention the smaller body of the refresh x. I appreciate your insights!
Do you think a 5 seater x can handle 3 toddlers?
Just an FYI it's technically not smaller but it looks/feels smaller. Yes can confirm it can handle 3 toddlers assuming 1 toddler is in a booster instead of 3 full car seats.
How easy is it to handle ice and snow with the yoke steering?
Pretty good, just need to maneuver a tad slower than a wheel
@@BlackTesla with all the talk just over a year ago about the x not having the wheel, I must be crazy opting to get the yoke lol! I like how they put the horn in the middle now and the wheel has no stalks for the turn signals so in my opinion the yoke looks better. Only concern was ice and snow. Thank you for getting back to me and so quickly!
Sir. Thanks for the vid. Quick question. How’s the legroom in the driver’s seat? You look a little tight in the driver seat. Are you able to stretch your legs? I’m 6’2” and am thinking of getting one next year if they bump the miles to 400.
Legroom is good up to 6'5". I am not cramped I just have long legs and prefer to be closer to the yoke
Gotcha. Ok thanks for the info bro!
Ive owned 5 Teslas, two Model 3's, two Model Y Performances, and a 21 Model S Refresh. Im currently in a 23 Model Y Performance, which I do love. I keep seeing all these incentives to buy a new Model X, with HW4, etc., and am so close to pulling the trigger. My payment would take a big leap though, about 300/mo. Not sure if I can justify that at the present time, but damn... I sure would like to!
If you can afford it, it's worth it with current incentives. X is the most comfortable Tesla, and the standard is close to the MYP in terms of performance. Add to that the tilting screen, rear media screen and you've got a great family hauler or a super comfortable cruiser
Way cheaper now then when this video was posted… base X is under $80k and US tax credit ($7500) eligible if you qualify. Same vehicle was $121k January 1st 2023. 💸
Just ordered a 5-seater in Ultra Red myself with an extra $1k Tesla loyalty incentive as a 5+ year Model 3 owner. Took a test drive and was blown away! 🤯
Yes much cheaper now and the X is the most comfortable Tesla so enjoy.
The lower the suspension the harsher the ride. There is less suspension travel when you lower the suspension thus the firm ride which is the whole point of lowering it. Firmer ride, better handling.
Yeah I know I was speaking comparatively. The 2020 X on low was more cushy over bumps than thos 2023 on low. On medium they are more comparable but I'd expect newer suspension to be more plush
You need to go to the advanced suspension and click to soft.
Thank you for the video it was helpful! I got my delivered last week, was awesome but one thing I wonder is your automatic front door can open 45 or just 20°? My is always 20°.
Congrats 👏🏾 yes the new doors pop open to about 20° then the rest of the way when you are nearby. This is a fix to the previous doors which opened to 45 by default which was dangerous when parked on the street and traffic is passing by. This seeks to address that.
Does the Plaid X (set in Chill) drive similar to the Long Range X? I have a Plaid S and need to do the same upgrade with my wife's X (2020). Would love the Plaid but she is going to be driving it 90% of the time and would prefer something more subtle.
If she doesn't need Plaid, save yourself the money as the standard X is plenty quick and even has insane mode and launch mode, plus longer range.
Also I did like 👍🏾 this video and gave u a sub
Please do a video on the accuracy of vision parking.
Will do
Excellent video! I’m still on the fence to upgrade from my my 2022 3 performance but it’s only money-right? Any tax credit on this model?
No tax credits but if you value the larger space and superior ride quality then go for it. The standard X is plenty fast too at 670hp 3.8 0-60 so it won't be a complete downgrade in terms of performance.
Hey man, nice review! That looks like Montclair, NJ, really nice area! Price seems to have come down drastically, seriously thinking about upgrading after watching this video. Thanks!
Go for it
Thank you for sharing. Do the 2nd row seats recline?
Yes they do approximately 20°
I have a 23 MX being delivered next week. Haven’t even test driven one with the yoke. Hopefully my wife likes it once she drives for a couple days before I consider the steering wheel retrofit. Any changes “updates” of functionality of the rear screen. For instance can the rear passengers “kids” plug-in or use wireless headphones and watch a movie while the front passengers listen to music?
Hey no update for rear BT just yet but it does default change the balance to the rear when the rear screen only is playing content. Not ideal but much better than hearing kids shows out all of the speakers.
Imo the round wheel is easier to supervise with FSDb… not so jerky and hectic like the yoke. True maybe?
Yes movements aren't as noticeable with the wheel
Nice review - thinking about upgrading to the X now since they are allowing fsd transfer this quarter only.
Go for it while you get all the perks
Does the Model X 2019 have a interior camera?
No
@@BlackTesla sigh… and thanks! So only after 2020 models?
Congrats she's a beauty, enjoy her!
Thank you!
I have enjoyed your stuff for quite some time now. How is the sun glare?
Thank you. Sun Glare is not an issue as the windshield is gradient tinted. So you get the protection of a traditional windscreen+roof with the amazing view.
Thanks for the update. You mentioned the 2023 X is smaller in dimension and appears to be lower to the ground, but you did not give the actual dimensions between the 2020 and the 2023. Is it a 'appears' to be smaller or is it actually smaller and what are the new dimensions comparatively speaking. Always enjoy your videos.
Black in the model X is indeed beautiful.
It's appears/feels smaller. It's technically the same size and even a little lighter but it feels smaller. You have to see it in person to understand,and getting out of a legacy X and into the new one you will really see and feel it. It's a good thing meaning anytime a big car can feel smaller than it is its a good thing especially if there are no sacrifices in comfort snd space which as I said we fit all of the stuff we had in the other car in this car no problem no compromises.
So outside is exactly the same size right? Because to make the vehicle smaller, a lot has to change from manufacturing and assembly.
No is the same size inside out and his statement is just based on how he feels 😂
Raise the suspension from low and you will give it some room to work. Less harsh. Edit: and well done on another great video.
Yeah I tried that still a little harsh compared to 2020 on both low and medium
Also check tire PSI, it's probably too high.
Very informative and can’t wait to see your next video on X-model accessories.. Please, make one.. thanks.
Thanks will do
What’s the difference between model 3 and model x?
Set your suspension to high and comfort mode.
Suspension doesn't persist past 15mph will go to standard or low on the new X. Comfort also isn't as plush so we had to make a custom preset for "comfort".
Took delivery of a 2023 Model X last week to replace my 2019 Raven S. Thanks for capturing the differences. I didn't expect it to be such a drastically improved experience, but oh my is it ever. I have some creakiness in the falcon wing doors. Is that to be expected?
Congrats! Yes creaks on the door are expected sadly. Small subtle creaks, loud creaks you should get checked out
You should try 20% smoked tail lights (applied just on non red areas). Makes a Model X look even better from the rear.
😎
Hi, can you advise me how did you applied that 20% smoked tail lights, where did you buy it? You’re response woulbe highly appreciated, thanks
Thanks for your excellent summary. I have 2022 MSLR and am also waiting to hear how I can get the screen tilt function added as initially promised. Keep us updated on your Plaid screen tilt upgrade issue.
👍🏾
Just ordered the new Model X LR. I hear the 3 & Y no longer have sensors. Can you confirm if 2023 S & X are equipped with ultrasonic sensors? If not, I’ll need to cancel my order.
Depending on when they were built they will have sensors. I believe anything built before mid-feb has sensors. Anything after has no USS from what I'm hearing.
Wonder if you can get a "skin" for the interior wood trim?
I think you can we are looking into it
Does the front central screen tilt up and down or only left and right?
Left and right
great presentation! I love with the town! where is this? sorry. thanks
West Orange
Is free charging with the older models transferable?
Sadly no it stays with the car
I think it’s a little weird that you go on for about a minute about how much smaller it is… when it’s not. It has the same dimensions as before. The exact same length, width, height. Did you have a black one last time too? It can make it appear smaller to the eye.
Thanks for the comment. It's the same dimensions but it feels and looks smaller you have to see it in person and you have to have them side-by-side. We spent time jumping back and forth transferring things and it was very evident to us. I said it feels and looks smaller I didn't say it was technically smaller. Both cars were black and perhaps the chrome delete contributes to the look.
Love your videos, they helped me buy a Model S Plaid a year ago. Did I miss an update on how to control the rear screen from the front?
Congrats on the Plaid! Yes there were several updates, look in your app tray and there is an icon that looks like 2 tablets that's the button
@@BlackTesla Thank you!! Never saw it before, works perfect! Now Tesla needs the ability to sync headphones to the rear display!
Hello, great review, my 2023 MXLR is arriving soon, can you advise me if this MX 2023 still got a radar? I mean in your one, is it still installed, I heard that Tesla took it off in new M3 and MY model.
Radar was only removed from the 3/Y but has been on the S/X. However, the software may not be using them. Also this car has the ultrasonic sensors but as of mid-feb builds they are not on the X's. I think part of the discounts being given are to purge all of the USS cars so there is a clear line in the sand for non-USS cars.
Google the dimensions of the Model X 2020 they are actually the same as 2023 or any year before
Hey I never said it wasn't I said it presented (looks and feels) smaller. On Teslas site in the owner manuals the dimensions are slightly different. 🤷🏾♂️
I like the height of SUV’s, would)
It be ok to drive on high suspensions always? What are the downsides of doing this?
Unfortunately the max ride height beyond 25mph is "medium" you cannot drive with anything higher faster than 25mph.
@@BlackTesla probably hurts the range.. but i would like it to automatically climb back to highest once it slows down then, wonder if it’s possible 🤔
Hi, I’m 5.11” & was wondering about the Model X’s refresh back area space if I fold down the backseats & put the car in camping mode, how comfortable is it to sleep in? Is it more roomy than a Model S ?
Yes plenty of room to camp. Bigger and taller than the S in terms of camping. The only catch is the slight hump between the back and back seat may need to put a topper or foam down
Thanks for your quick response 😊
SO what was the great price you got?
Peace. Thanks for sharing. We have a 2020 model X and thinking about upgrading as well.
Prices are very reasonable and there's so much to love with the new X. I would highly advise you test drive one.
Man I love that yoke it just doesn’t look practical on winding roads
Cool X but wouldn’t you prefer to wait a bit for HW4?
No, since we get little usage of FSD on the X there's not benefit for HW4 for us
Very nice clip! Does your Model X still have ultrasonic sensors? If not, do you miss them in comparison to the older Model X? Did you get used to the turning buttons one the yoke instead of the stacks? Thank you
Yes we have USS and that was a requirement for the wife since she needs parking assist at times. Looks like they stop including them for cars built mid-feb. We have the yoke on our Model S Plaid so we are used to the yoke. The wife was able to get in this and feel right at home. She just needed to lose the muscle memory of resting her hand at the top of the wheel 🤣
@@BlackTesla Thanks for your answer! Helped me a lot in terms of deciding to order the new model X. Although it would be a pity not to have the USS. But listening to the rumours another kind of sensor might come after some time. Have a nice day and thank you for your informative channel.
I love the new dash layout and design.
Dude are you at Eagle Rock?!
👀
@@BlackTesla I grew up two mins from there and was looking at the POV in your video like, “wait a minute…”
Great content dude
Love it can't wait to have one myself someday soon
Excellent video! You pointed out so many things that one should consider, I learned a lot. I am going to be buying a Model X shortly. We have test driven the S, Y, and X and felt that the S made us feel a bit claustrophobic for some reason. Both the S and Y did not ride as nicely as the X and maybe that's due to the new enhancements. I do know that the new 2023 X's are arriving with the new 4.0 hardware upgrade that has been rumored to be near production. The one I test-drove had a 4.0. The new cameras had stunning views! The power was fantastic and got a big thumbs up from my husband who loves the fast "off-the-line" of his 6-speed manual sports car. Where do you get the detailed stats on everything that is in the car you are buying? I always want to know that upfront before the purchase is completed. The Specs that are shown on the Tesla pages are vague at best. The car and driver review was a bit better, but it didn't go into the nitty-gritty of the software and hardware. It should be noted that when you live in "very sunny" states like here in California, and other western states, an all-black interior can be a nightmare with the expansive glass roof! I've heard from other owners that lighter-colored seats are not that hard to maintain. I think the only things I disliked were the lack of a good side sun visor (I could feel my skin tightening going north on the 101 in the afternoon) and a larger front sun visor. Even though the front visor swivels in all directions you need to keep moving it more often. Any thoughts or comments on those seemingly small items? Again terrific review!
Thank you the X is a fantastic vehicle and is the most comfortable Tesla to drive hands down. The front windscreen is large but has ample UV and sun protection from the built in tint that fades at the normal roof level allowing maximum visibility without compromising on impact from the sun. The sun visors on the side can be remedied with some legal tinting to the front windows. The stats of the car are all of what Tesla provides on the site but to experience them in person is totally different. For instance the base model X is tuned to be almost comparable to a performance variant Y so it's super quick, and has launch control. As for HW4 you will get that by default now but there is nothing that the car can do that will take advantage of the hardware at the moment. The only exception is the lack of ultrasonic sensors, this is something Tesla doesn't publish on their site and it means you will have reduced functionality until Tesla gets software that can accommodate the non-sensor cars such as autopark and summon. In the end just test drive the car you and your husband as much as you'd like to feel comfortable. I can say that you can't go wrong with any Tesla let alone the X.
you should get the trim done custom. You're Black Tesla after all!! That carbon and black chrome satin or whatever would be sick too :)
I've seen people re-sand and re-stain the wood grain to gray, that also looks good.
Yeah we are looking at a wrap for it
Im thinking of this or the tesla truck for my family. I think the Truck is almost or a little cheaper than the X.
For families this is the best. Auto-opening and closing doors are next level. Also the falcon wing doors are invaluable for kids middle school or younger.
Buddy what you think Y or X and should I add FSD?
Depends on you. If you are a bigger (taller or wider) get the X. If you don't have kids and are not taller or wider then go with Y. Obviously if money is a limiting factor get the Y, if not get the X.
Does it have HW4 and/or USS?
No HW4 but has USS
1st time looking at bench seat option and tilt screen, thank you! I want Plaid, cheaper than 911!
💯
Does that have matrix headlights?
Not sure
Neil deGrasse Tyson's model X, lol.
You could imitate him perfectly. Car looks so good in black, agree about the dash, maybe cross stitched leather instead of the woodgrain....
🤣
I needed to see this video. Than you! I drove a model 3 for two years as a company vehicle. It is too small for my personal taste so I’m stuck between an S and X. Well not anymore. 🎉
👍🏾
What a superb car. Congratulations! 😀
I love it, what does everyone do for a living to afford these..?? I may need a career change!
What city/state is that buddy? Looks clean and nice

Thank you for this review. Extremely helpful. The comparisons you have done identify the practical reasons for upgrading. I have a 2020 MXLR with FSD and free SC. Other than the bi-annual Service visit to secure or replace door moldings for wind noise I have had no issues. I identified a 2023 MX demo with less than 50 miles and am going through the process. Waiting to see the trade-in value. Will cancel if the offer is too low. Think it is sad that Tesla will not transfer or enable FSD on an upgrade purchase and offer road trip SC. It is all software enabled.
💯
@@BlackTesla I felt the trade in was low, so I rejected. Is the wind noise reduced dramatically from the 2020 MX as you mention in the video. I really like the changes your review points out, but it is a struggle having free SC and FSD and having to pay for EAP again if I upgrade - I would not pay for FSD again. Crazy thing, I don't remember thinking about the cost of fuel for any of the ICE cars that I have had.
@@kenjenkins1262do you still have the X? Are they allowing you too transfer?
Heat pump helps with supercharging speeds and save energy to improve range not effecting cabinet heat levels lol😂
One main reason for me to get the model X was the size... If it's close to the Y then don't see the point in getting it compared to the S.
I'm 6'1 with my second kid on the way and these kids will be taller than me so def need the more room
You'll have no problem with the X the most comfortable. It FEELS smaller but is still a good sized mid-sized SUV. I'm taller than 6'1" and have no problem so enjoy!
@@BlackTesla appreciate the feedback. Will look into test driving older and newer models.
Black man winning I Love it!!!
Would the 2020 model be worth it for 60% of the 2023 price?
2020 is a solid car definitely worth it. 2023 is just next level
Looks mean, I especially like the triple black!
We want one. Happy for you.
👍🏾
