Video Summary
- The exterior design is simple; the non-retractable spoiler has a weird sign that sounds cheap when tapped.- The vehicle has an egg shape which is aerodynamic.
- The wheels are 20-inch alloys.
- The interior design is minimalist; the material quality is good but the build quality is spotty.
- The only buttons are on the steering wheel and the window switch; everything else is done on the screen.
- Moving the steering wheel and adjusting the mirrors are done through the screen.
- The horn requires locating a specific button.
- The screen is quick and can operate many car functions. The screen also includes access to things like Spotify, Youtube, movies, and games.
- The Model X has two boots and good storage.
- This Model X can be either a five-seater, seven-seater, or a six-seater. The Plaid is only available as a six-seater.
- There is a lot of knee room, head room, and shoulder room, in the back, but you cannot recline the seat back independently from the seat base.
- In the cars that are 5 and 7 seaters, the low roof in the rear can impact headroom.
- Also in the rear, the windows only go down halfway and there are no door bins.
- The two versions of Model X are: the dual motor (676hp) and the tri-motor (1020hp)
- The dual-motor version range is 348 miles and the Tri-motor version is 337 miles. Both have 250-kilowatt charging. The real-world range of both models is about 85% of the claimed range.
- The doors do not like to be hurried when opening, but torque vectoring offers excellent cornering traction.
- The car's system recognizes cars and other objects.
- The gear selector is controlled using the touch screen.
- Panel gaps are very wide; for example, panel gaps are as wide as the Grand Canyon.
- The claimed 0-60mph time for the Plaid is 2.5 seconds, but 2.86 seconds was observed. Zero to 30mph, is at 1.37 seconds.
- The video recommends shortlisting the Model X and purchasing it only to film drag races for his car channel.
- Overall, the steering is sharp and direct. The suspension is okay, but not as smooth as some competitor's options. The Model X performs much better in short spurts due to potential issues with brake overheating. The Plaid model has more of a drag racer feel than a race car.
