Tesla Model X facelift Crossover (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Tesla Model X facelift is a large battery-electric crossover in production from 2021. It is powered by of electric twisting power aided by batteries from 100kWh to 130kWh.
Compared to previous model years, the newly facelifted Model X introduced the "Yoke" steering wheel, which looks "cool" but is useless. Tesla needs to find continually new gimmicks to hide the fact that the consumer is buying a RC car.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Tesla Model X is hardly the "offroader" that Tesla would like you to think. Tesla has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.25 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will love the 2492L (88cu-ft) cargo space.

Reviewer score 80%Our Model X was fitted with Tesla Autopilot, and it remains one of the best driving assistance packages on the market today. Traffic jams, motorway lane changes and sliproads are handled swiftly and smoothly. It errs on the side of aggressively cautious when confronted with cars that wander around their lanes too much. The charging experience will largely be determined by where you are in the country and what you do with your Model X.
