Same problem with our Model X 2021. Even in summer (where heat pump is not relevant even), range at 120kph highway, is just around 300km, for a car rated with 600km. 50% range drop on winter... iX, routinely get 500km, now that we are at fall.
I came from a Bolt EV. Actually had 2 of them, I gave one away to a family member who lives in another part of town. My wife, however, loves her Bolt EV so that's okay. We paid cash for all our vehicles. Back to BMW, I love my fully loaded iX50. Glad it has wireless Apple Car play compared to my Bolt which had to plugged in.
Thank you, this was very informative. Cory was very thoughtful in his comparisons and explained his process very well. As a Model Y owner considering a move to the BMW iX, it told me a lot. As a previous BMW i3 owner, the move back to the iDrive interface isn't likely to be as big a shock in the move away from iPad thinking...
I switched from a Model X performance to an iX, day and night the iX has better range, quieter, way more options … So all the complaints that the comparison should have been made to an X and not a Y, here you go.
I don’t believe you. First of all the sound in Tesla can’t compare with Harman Kardon. And many things. I cannot believe you thay X is lower than IX M50
Really? I'm about to test drive the BMW and its the same price as the Tesla X base model. I can't image going BMW over the X if both priced the same. Please tell me I'm wrong?

In Europe you can get the smaller 76 kw battery or the larger battery you have in the US. I am caught between going for a used 50 ix and a lot cheaper ix40 which is the smaller battery. Also my price range is used ix about 2 plus years old. Also been looking at the bmw ix4 or the new model y Jupiter.
I think this could be a teachable moment for the EV Rider that they should address the elephant in the room directly. While the model X was brought up it’s natural to wonder why the price difference with the was not discussed more. I’m hoping that competition will eventually motivate Tesla to make cars that have more features rather than just making them cheaper.
Tesla is the pioneer and until now the market leader - they are spread thin because they also do charing, solar, robots, hyper loops you name it. Maybe its because of that they start to fall behind. To have more and more choice is a good thing for the customers.
Hey Cory, now that you’ve owned the BMW iX50 for nearly 6 months, how would you rate the front seat driver’s comfort? You look tall at around 6’3” or 6’4” and I was told by an iX50 owner that the front seat was uncomfortable for tall drivers. Thoughts??
I've personally experienced the Tesla FSD Beta. It is incredible. Tesla's Beta FSD is at an entirely different level than BMW's current production ADAS. But keep in mind unless you're admitted to Tesla's beta program, you're not going to see Tesla's FSD for a while yet.

your video has been extremely helpful in me deciding my options but sad to know that BMW still holds on to their legacy mindset whereby the iX models prior to Mar/May 2023 is not able to upgrade their iDrive to V8.5!
I wasn't aware of that but I have a guess. BMW is among the manufacturers adopting Android Automotive as its operating system. Is is just speculation on my part - nothing more - I wonder if Android Automotive is using hardware that prevents the existing cars being updated to the latest Android Automotive version of iDrive.

Someone has touched it in my IX i40 truck after a year STOP screen Broken propulsion it stopped working very seriously I will tell you but it left me stranded does anyone know something or has this happened to them
The video pointed out the iX was in a different price category (th-cam.com/video/tjpNPWG8t00/w-d-xo.html) and the owner was asked if he considered a Model X, which is generally closer in pricing to the iX. As of today, the US base prices of the 3 vehicles before incentives, taxes, etc., listed on the manufacturer websites are: Tesla Model Y - $47,490 BMW iX xDrive50 - $87,100 Tesla Model X - $98,490 Depending on options, the iX and X can both quickly top $100,000. A base iX slots in pretty well price-wise between a high-end Model Y Performance and base Model X.
I have driven the IX and a model X that cost more than the iX. The iX is on a different planet I’m comparison. They should compare it to the model X Not the Y, the Y is a cheaper car that is price well for what it is.
Nobody compared it to the Model Y which is way cheaper, was just mentioned as the car he was coming from - the competition is Model X which is easy more expensive., still not in the same league. I drove both.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 I have also driven both for months. The iX is far superior in every way. The iX even win in terms of actual useful tech like head up and 360 cam, ride comfort and quality build.
@@bossman4401 yeah I agree - until now I have a large distance ICE and a compact EV for city driving. I am planning to have an EV for longer distances too and I have the iX in my list.
I have a 2024 IX M60, and I wish I had waited for the 2025 model year, which is already available in Europe and as early as March 2024 in the U.S. The 2025 receives the new M-style steering wheel and dark accents for the interior instead of gold and bronze. Carbon fiber trim for the M60 would have been nice! We do need that trailer hitch and the IX has it, except BMW doesn't provide it for the US market. ?? It is often hard to put the kid's bike in the back. I also wished the range was better. So far, I am very disappointed with the range and the charging time. I hate the fact that BMW and other automakers get away with the "up to" range. What does that mean? I also wished they had the rear window sunshade. All my other BMW SAVs had them. One would think that for a special car like IX they would have one.
The aftermarket makes hitches for the US iX. Here's one example: www.carparts.com/details/BMW/iX/Curt/Hitch_Accessory/2023/CUR13532.html?TID=gglpla&origin=pla&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAuNGuBhAkEiwAGId4aq-AWzv9Tk04kEz1Fr8HpSGlPamUv8EO1cBmwO6nzyGy677IeRn1MxoCgh8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
While I agree that the Model X is a more natural competitor - which was mentioned in the video - that doesn't change the fact that the owner decided to switch from a Model Y to the iX, and he was asked why he chose the iX over the X.
Why is the BMW iX cooler than a Tesla Model Y? Because when the iX drives by, even the electrons in the Tesla do a double take and think, "Now that's a charged-up ride!" ⚡😉
That’s all you got out of that video? 😂 Nice observation, but it’s irrelevant don’t ya think? It’s a nice ride and he’s pointed out a lot of fabulous features.
He’s wrong about auto pilot, you don’t need to shake the steering wheel to keep it active, you can increase/decrease volume or speed to keep it active.
The ix50 is irrevelant because the ix40 makes 1000km challange with only 10minutes slower pace. Much less costs, much less weight with better efficiency. Same car. Ix40 is 180kg less. With 20inch wheels even better. Air suspension not needed.
The only and big reason for me to leave Tesla is the Trump supporting narcissist Elon Musk! Tesla S is my favorite Car. Now I drive Tesla 3 it’s fantastic but to small.
Reuters & other business outlets report BMW remains on track for its 2023 financial targets with EV sales rising 83.2% year on year to 64,647 vehicles. I haven't seen anything from BMW specifying its per unit profit or loss on each iX sold but if you have a source for that information please share it here.
Range comparisons 1:00 need to be made in context. Fact, the Tesla Model Y Long Range is more efficient at 4.23 miles/Kwh, compared with the BMW ix50 at 3.58 miles/Kwh. So if the Tesla Model Y LR had the same battery as the ix50, it would actually get 445 miles of range, more than enough to get you to Disneyworld and back on a single charge. (Data points BMW ix50 / 105.2 / 377 = 3.58; TMY LR / 75.0 / 317 = 4.23).
Please remember this was an owner perspective video as opposed to an objective instrumented testing piece between vehicles. While efficiency per mile is more important to some drivers, overall range is more important to others.
Also remember that the EPA range estimate for MY is not accurate. All Tesla range estimates are below the estimated range according to the Manufacturer and EPA
Don't understand these "Tesla is way cheaper.." comments. So? It was considered a premium car by early adopters, which made zero sense to me. It is an ugly design both ext/interior, badly put together in standard medium-quality materials. Clearly evident when compared to a real premium car. Tesla is like the chevrolet of electric cars, right now. Many cheaper cars put loads of gadgets in their cars. But I would never recommend anyone to buy a model S. And the Y is roomy but in a "phone-booth" kinda way, makes you car sick when driving.
Hey two of you. How can you compare IX M50 which the preis is over 110000€ and Tesla Model Y which is 65000€?????😅😅😅😅😅. Don’t compare this car with Tesla model Y, compare this M59 with SPlaid. M50 is too small for Model X oder SPlaid but it is wird to compare a IX50 wirh Tesla Y. Unbeliebte
The owner of the iX, previously owned a Model Y, which is why it was mentioned. He has extensive experience with both. He also compared it to the Model X, which is in the same general class as the iX.
When it comes to a pure driving experience when one doesn't have to worry about practicality a 911 is tough to beat, especially if you're able to find one with a manual gearbox! The good news is Porsche is getting into the EV sports car business. The next generation 718 Boxster/Cayman is going to be an EV. A real, convertible 2-seater sports car is finally coming!
Why not the Model X ? Its a lot faster, more range, also ventilated more comfortable seats, air suspension, more storage, faster charging. same price, 3 years free supercharging. And the most important, Supercharger Network. Good luck on long trips with this car.
Model X more range? Do some homework, this car beats EPA like nothing while Tesla overestimates their ranges by like a lot! And also, good luck with TSLA service if your car ever needs a repair. Last I remember X price was quite higher, but who knows what Elon did to in the last 10 seconds
I've successfully driven my CCS Mustang Mach-E more than 24,000 miles in a year to 20 US states. Long trips haven't been a problem for me, including a cross-country trip of 4,800-miles, but having access to both the Supercharger and CCS networks (via an adapter) remains an advantage for Tesla owners.
Most major EV manufacturers, including BMW, are adopting Tesla's NACS charging standard. Tesla-approved Supercharger adapters for non-Teslas are expected to start shipping in Q1 of 2024, starting with Ford. BMW expects to transition in 2025. Just as Teslas have access to Electrify America, EVgo, etc., via an adapter, most non-Teslas will have soon have the same access to Tesla Superchargers. Hopefully the sudden increase in charging competition from Tesla will light a fire under the other charging companies to reach its level of charging excellence.
The point is made in the video that the Model X is a more direct competitor to the iX than the Y but that doesn't change the fact that Cory decided leave Tesla for an iX as opposed to upgrading to a Model X or keeping his Y.
Marketing strategy, Bullying underclass Tesla Model Y with BMW iX and not Tesla Model X Thank heaven he's not comparing his reasons with Fort Model T. Even after switching he's still driving with part of Tesla in it.
Since BMW has said it is "closely following the current discussions and developments on the American continent" regarding NACS we may yet see BMW do a deal with Tesla for Supercharger access. Concerning your other comment, it was uncalled for. Please remove it and keep future comments on EV Rider polite.
How do you like your new Rav4 Prime so far? I've seen the Rav4 can get over 500 miles real world range including highway driving compared to like 220 miles for the Model Y. I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y long Range with about 9,300 miles on it and am thinking of getting a Toyota Rav4 hybrid or Prime when the new 2025 redesign comes out. I am disappointed in the hard ride quality over bumpy roads and the low range of the Model Y.
@@burnx45 The Prime is a quieter cabin and the ride is more softer it soak up the road imperfections pretty good although not like a Mercedes kind of good but better then the Y. I was so disappointed in the Y I really wanted to like it but the stiff ride and rattle was too much for. Yes the Prime does get around 450 to 500 a tank. If your charge everyday at home you will barely visit the gas station although that depends on you driving range everyday.

Hey two of you. How can you compare IX M50 which the preis is over 110000€ and Tesla Model Y which is 65000€?????😅😅😅😅😅. Don’t compare this car with Tesla model Y, compare this M59 with SPlaid. M50 is too small for Model X oder SPlaid but it is wird to compare a IX50 wirh Tesla Y. Unbeliebte
The owner of the iX, previously owned a Model Y, which is why it was mentioned. He has extensive experience with both. He also compared it to the Model X, which is in the same general class as the iX.
Model S has a ridiculous amount of problems...
agree, tesla use cheap materials. BMW is no brainer if you can afford.
For the price, I'm much rather drive a Porsche 911 992 4S 😂🤣
When it comes to a pure driving experience when one doesn't have to worry about practicality a 911 is tough to beat, especially if you're able to find one with a manual gearbox! The good news is Porsche is getting into the EV sports car business. The next generation 718 Boxster/Cayman is going to be an EV. A real, convertible 2-seater sports car is finally coming!
lol, a $90k car is better than a $50k car, who would've guessed
Agreed . A proper comparison would be a Model X vs BMW iX50.
@@reignmkr64I think it's pretty fair, he owned Y Model he could've upgraded to X Model but he didn't 🤷♂️
Similar can be said when comparing Model X. The only place Model X can compete is maybe performance and some of the AP.
For almost double the price, that iX should also have bed and dining table to lived on 😂
Stop crying Tesla fan boys. You guys already know Tesla quality is crap.
Why not the Model X ? Its a lot faster, more range, also ventilated more comfortable seats, air suspension, more storage, faster charging. same price, 3 years free supercharging. And the most important, Supercharger Network. Good luck on long trips with this car.
Model X more range? Do some homework, this car beats EPA like nothing while Tesla overestimates their ranges by like a lot! And also, good luck with TSLA service if your car ever needs a repair. Last I remember X price was quite higher, but who knows what Elon did to in the last 10 seconds
I've successfully driven my CCS Mustang Mach-E more than 24,000 miles in a year to 20 US states. Long trips haven't been a problem for me, including a cross-country trip of 4,800-miles, but having access to both the Supercharger and CCS networks (via an adapter) remains an advantage for Tesla owners.
@rsamd
iX has more range, 0-60 only around 1 second or less difference. The build quality, noise quality, ride quality miles ahead of Model X
I would never switch from tesla due to crappy charging infrastructure from others.
Most major EV manufacturers, including BMW, are adopting Tesla's NACS charging standard. Tesla-approved Supercharger adapters for non-Teslas are expected to start shipping in Q1 of 2024, starting with Ford. BMW expects to transition in 2025. Just as Teslas have access to Electrify America, EVgo, etc., via an adapter, most non-Teslas will have soon have the same access to Tesla Superchargers. Hopefully the sudden increase in charging competition from Tesla will light a fire under the other charging companies to reach its level of charging excellence.
@@EVRider yea but that's not gonna be for next few years. Until I see nacs plug on all others . No thanks
Wait until new Tesla Y comes it will be better than BMW IX
ix should be more compared to model x not y
The point is made in the video that the Model X is a more direct competitor to the iX than the Y but that doesn't change the fact that Cory decided leave Tesla for an iX as opposed to upgrading to a Model X or keeping his Y.
I see BMW hasn't figured out how to make their turn signals work, oh wait it's a BMW you don't need to use your turn signal.
So original. Are you a comedian? You should be with such new material.
This guy def works for BMW 🤣
Maybe, but I have a 2024 ix40 and he isn't joking.
This rig is amazing.
Well, he was already comfortable with ugly cars so why not an iX
😂😂😂
Marketing strategy,
Bullying underclass Tesla Model Y with BMW iX and not Tesla Model X
Thank heaven he's not comparing his reasons with Fort Model T.
Even after switching he's still driving with part of Tesla in it.
Cry more
@@waywardsoul4918 Stating Facts no a Cry you t'rumpanzee!
tezla das Scheisse
Yesh but you got NO access to NACS. He wants ventilated seat cause maybe he fart alot 😂😂😂.
Since BMW has said it is "closely following the current discussions and developments on the American continent" regarding NACS we may yet see BMW do a deal with Tesla for Supercharger access. Concerning your other comment, it was uncalled for. Please remove it and keep future comments on EV Rider polite.
BMW will now get access to the Tesla superchargers in the near future and have the NACS port built into the vehicles starting in 2025.
It’s a better car. But it’s also been beaten by an ugly stick
I have this bmw n it sucks stop the lies I went from a m6 to this n now I’m looking at the Tesla
I sold my Model Y and bought a Rav4 Prime. Tesla is quality crap. Modely Y sounds like a tin can in the cabin with lots of rattles.
How do you like your new Rav4 Prime so far? I've seen the Rav4 can get over 500 miles real world range including highway driving compared to like 220 miles for the Model Y. I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y long Range with about 9,300 miles on it and am thinking of getting a Toyota Rav4 hybrid or Prime when the new 2025 redesign comes out. I am disappointed in the hard ride quality over bumpy roads and the low range of the Model Y.
@@burnx45 The Prime is a quieter cabin and the ride is more softer it soak up the road imperfections pretty good although not like a Mercedes kind of good but better then the Y. I was so disappointed in the Y I really wanted to like it but the stiff ride and rattle was too much for. Yes the Prime does get around 450 to 500 a tank. If your charge everyday at home you will barely visit the gas station although that depends on you driving range everyday.
