Uploaded 3 years ago by MilesPerHr

Video Summary

- Updated LED headlights and Daytime Running Lights.
- Resculpted lower bumper.
- The black painted Model X has been wrapped in a chalky exterior with teal accents.
- Two wheel options: 20s and 22s. The 22s cut the range, but look better.
- Blacked-out brake calipers, mirror caps, and window trim.
- Flush-mounted door handles.
- Giant greenhouse, which provides tons of passenger volume, but it's not a very striking profile.
- Roof folds into a duck-lipped trunk.
- LED taillights within a blacked-out housing.
- Lower diffuser is resculpted.
- Model X Plaid is only offered in a six-seat configuration.
- Third row contains two seats; the second-row seats float and have power adjustments.
- Enough knee room in the third row seats. The foot pockets are big to slide your feet under, there's thigh support, and plenty of headroom.
- The third row has cup holders.
- The monitor controls climate and can play movies. It has two USB ports and cup holders that pop out.
- Front doors pop out.
- The mix of materials include duotone black on white leatherette, matte carbon fiber trim, and white contrast stitching. There's tons of storage in the door.
- Has a digital gauge cluster with high refresh rate and crisp resolution.
- The 16-inch screen responds fast, but lacks Apple Car Play or Android Auto. The screen has Easter eggs.
- Wireless charging pads.
- Is so wild in person. Yoke is a cross between a video game controller and an F1 steering wheel. The turn signals are located on the wheel.
- There is minimal wind or road noise inside.
- A tri-motor setup provides 1,020 horsepower and 752 pound-feet of torque.
- Although the acceleration is good, the brakes don't quite provide the same stopping power.
- The Model X Plaid has a good acceleration and handling, just not in braking.
- For $131,990, with acceleration and handling the Model X is the most powerful production SUV on the road, but for the price, the interior is not very luxurious.
- The acceleration is stupid and scary.
