Video Summary
Here's a summary of the review of the 2026 Tesla Model X:* The Model X for 2026 starts at $89,990, a $5,000 increase.
* The Plaid version starts at $104,990, which is about $10,000 higher than last year.
* The reviewed model is the long-range all-wheel drive version with a lunar silver paint for $2,500 and a seven-seat interior for $3,000.
* The range is estimated at 352 miles EPA, with a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 149 mph.
* The Plaid version has a range of 335 miles, the same top speed, and a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.5 seconds, with a $15,000 price increase.
* The exterior changes are minimal, with the T logo being black instead of chrome and a front bumper camera being added for full self-driving.
* The Model 3 is the only current Tesla without a front bumper camera.
* The reviewed car has 20-inch "Hera Helix" wheels that look more aerodynamic; they have curb rash despite low mileage.
* Falcon wing doors provide easy access for standing adults.
* Door opening animation has been updated.
* The new interior accent lighting has been added, also.
* The new UI displays the range.
* There are 6 total USB-C ports. The front ones share the back with a total power of 105W.
* The Model X also includes wireless charging pads.
* The auto-shift is set by taping in the desired direction after buckling.
* The reviewer isn't a fan of the steering wheel and does not find that it does much. It is not actually tactile and the tiny buzz that the controls provide isn't appreciated.
* This car has FSD (full self-driving) but that works the same, as it always has, so no changes there.
* Also with FSD you get Smart Summon.
* The cargo space is similar to the last year.
* If you are 6 feet tall the 3rd row is just not usable for an adult.
* While the new Model X is a smooth drive, the reviewer concludes it didn't feel much different than the previous Model X version.
