We have had our 2023 Tesla Model X LR Refresh for a month now. While I did release an initial impressions video, I did want to get some time behind the wheel, getting acclimated with the
Model X before doing a full review.

Here we are 1 month later, and I have some pretty clear takeaways on our Refresh Model X that are worth sharing. The Model X is a highly desirable car, but its also an expensive car that most people can't afford. Even if you can afford the new Model X, the real question is "is it worth it?"
As this channel was founded around the Tesla Model Y, and is mostly centered around that same Tesla Model Y, that will continue to be the case. But, like many of you, I wanted to know first hand if the upgrade from the Tesla Model Y to the Model X was worth it. I will be producing content around the Model Y vs Model X to bring more details of the 2 cars to help you decide if the upgrade to the Model X is worth it.
There are some things I LOVE about the refresh Model X, including the interior, the size and the ride. There are also some things I HATE about the refresh Model X, including the Yoke steering wheel. But like all things, it is a balance of the good, the bad and the ugly.
So join me in reviewing the impressions on this refresh Model X after 1 month of ownership. You are sure to learn something new about this attractive Electric SUV.

BTG, Congrats! I got the round wheel retrofit install for my 2022 MSLR. The new wheel makes the haptic buttons easier to reach and increased my driver confidence. Glad to see Tesla now offering the round wheel as standard equipment for new MS and MX vehicles. If someone wants the yoke, they can conveniently select that option at a reasonable price.

I am a huge fan of offering the Yoke the way it is now in the order configurator. Those people who INSIST that the Yoke is superior are welcome to add it for a nominal fee. The rest of us can have a normal wheel lol.

Great review Justin. I took delivery of a Model XP in March, the same color as you, but yep, I got the white interior. My biggest issue is the need for the Vision update. I've got the HW4 Cams too, so I'm hopeful that these, coupled with the 'so-called' HD sensor will make a ton of difference. Guess we shall see. Keep up the great work.

Test drove the X today - the falcon wing doors make putting in the kiddo so much easier and the 6 seat configuration makes getting in and out of the rear row easy. We currently have a 7 seater y and it’s gymnastics to get back there. The 7 seater X is a little better than the Y in terms of access but the 6 seater option is the way to go.

At first the turn signals were difficult to get used to but now I am very used to them and don’t mind it at all. Reminds me of exotics. Sporty driving feel with the yoke versus regular steering I feel is much better. Feels very good when accelerating and on highway at high speed. Had a lot of interior noises I needed the service center to sort out along with front door inner seals. Now all is ok and should be for a long time. Love it

Upgraded from a 2022 Model Y to a 2023 Model X two weeks ago. Your video touched on almost everything I've been experiencing. I hated the Y's rough ride and love the X's air suspension. I am a fan of the electric doors. I was pleased to hear from you that the two front doors will open more fully after a future software update. The falcon doors work really well. Charging in my garage the X generates much more heat than my Y ever did, which seems like a waste of electricity. My X came with three years of supercharging and three months of full self driving. But as you pointed out the full self driving can't be enabled. Bummer. However the lane change feature works perfectly and is as smooth as silk. The sound system in the X is fantastic. I'm hoping for a Dolby Digital software update in the future. The auto shift into drive or reverse needs some work. When you back out of the garage and stop, it ought to know you want to go forward. I love hardware 4's noticeable improvements in the screen images. I love the chilled seats. I liked the Y's center console more than the X's, but I will get used to it. I am still loving the yolk steering and chose it over a wheel. I'm making myself feel the bump between the left and right turn signals and getting used to that. I also wish the driver's screen was programmable. And the X doesn't have the great options you get when you hold down the left scroll wheel in the Y. I hope that is coming. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I didn't spend as much as you did on wheels, paint and six seats, and I got a very good price on trading in my Y. Tesla was offering big discounts and incentives at the end of June. Keep making the great videos.

i actually put an aftermarket yoke in my 2021 model 3 LR and i love it. It literally doesnt affect me one bit. So to me... functionality wise... its no different than a wheel to me.

And no..... Im NOT kidding myself

We have a 7 seater Y too and just traded in our 3 for a X plaid - found one with a steering wheel - felt more at home compared to the yolk - it felt off during the test drive so opted for one with a steering wheel. still getting used to the turn signal on the wheel. No gear stalk is a nonissue - the swipe to drive, tap to park is fine and it’s actually easier to put it in neutral if needed. We had friends in town and while the third row in the Y definitely came in handy, it’s gymnastics to get in the back for a small adult. We still love the Y but the plaid layout of the 6 seats is great. The falcon wing doors are awesome.

Thank you for the 1-month review! I got my MX (White with Black interior 5 seater) for almost 1.5 month now so just also sharing my thoughts here as well. My hubby and I got the car at $99,990 after the initial price drop but before the April price drop and before all the supercharging offers haha. Of course like anything, it would've been better if we got it at the lower April prices and supercharging credits, but we're ok with the price we paid. I sometimes do think there are so many other cars (EV or ICE) out there with even more features to offer and very luxurious too with similar price range that we paid, but then I like how Tesla gets pretty frequent updates so that it won't be like an obsolete tech car and also the charging network in case I do go on road trips one day. Also, the X's range and 0-60 is pretty good compared with those in this price range, at least for now haha. I'm aware there are more comparable cars out there currently or soon though and I'm not married to Tesla. Section 179 deduction for business was why my hubby decided on the X instead of MYP and he fell in love with it after test driving it. We would've gotten the MXP if it wasn't a 6 seater (we have dogs so we wanted the 5 seater; no kids). Yeah I don't think the X is necessarily double the price of the Y. However, there are also many things I buy that also aren't worth double/triple the price but I buy it because of the perceived value I see like designer bags etc. I'm not a car or tech person so please don't mind my little list of why I like the X over Tesla's current offerings lol: - bigger SUV for my doggies - 17-inch display - display can swivel left, middle, and right - gauge screen - rear screen - panoramic windshield with magnetic sun visor (I put a glass roof sunshade on right now since it's getting hot and sunny in CA) - air suspension - falcon wing doors - automatic doors i.e. many ways to open/close doors with physical/onscreen buttons and driver's side closes with brakes pressed - easy to press door handles - heated and ventilated front seats (backseats are only heated) - have newest hardware/radar but too bad the X gets slower software updates - pretty smooth ride - pretty decent range (LR) and 0-60 - flapping wings and doors light show - HomeLink included - Section 179 deduction - overall, a more luxurious experience

@BeardedTeslaGuy Жыл бұрын

When she took delivery of her Y, I was looking at the X and they thought we maybe wanted to change. 😀 I also have a business an should be able to deduct it. I didn't realize that this would fall under 179 and provide full depreciation in a single year. Ok, main question, after a year, how are you and your husband feeling about the X? I have concerns with the falcon doors, granted I don't use the back doors as much, without having kids at home any longer.

I had an issue with one of the daytime headlights not working but mobile service replaced it. I also had an issue with one of the windshield wipers another time but they were also able to fix it. I haven't shopped for cars since I got the MX so I'm not sure if anything else is better out there currently, but yeah, I guess I'd recommend shopping around first to see if it fits your needs.

With the Cybertruck delays I was getting antsy and considering the X to replace my Leased Model Y. This video has me mostly convinced to wait it out, That said, if the CyberTruck pricing/availability (I'm about 130K in the reservation que) changes dramatically I might go this direction. One thing is for sure, I'm never owning anything other than a BEV and based upon my over 2 years of Tesla (Model Y LR & Model 3 SR) driving, I'm very much a fan.

@BeardedTeslaGuy Жыл бұрын

Sure I could, but id have to reject every Tesla I've ever accepted (all 4 of them). Doesn't mean its not worth calling out Tesla's inability (more likely unwillingness) to fix these issues at the plant. I am tough on Tesla on these things I guess, but for real, these issues should not be happening anymore lol. The other issue was a trim piece that had to be replaced and the wheels needed to be rebalanced. Otherwise, I didn't have them do anything else, and I am living with the paint as is. Scratches have mostly been fixed, just not the debris under paint.

I have been driving the Model S with the yoke steering for nearly a year. I actually like the yoke very much, but there are two flaws. As you mentioned, the turn signals are terrible, but the horn is a serious safety issue. In an emergency, sounding the horn has to be automatic. It's especially difficult to find the horn if the yoke is turned. This has happened to me numerous times. In fact, just last night, I nearly got into an accident because I was not able to alert other drivers on the road in time. Instead, I had to slam on my brakes and drive off the road on the highway! No damage, but OMG! The horn placement is criminal negligence, in my opinion.

@justinmorris9802 11 ай бұрын

ahhhh... you're one of those excessive horn honkers. IDK... for me i NEVER use the horn. Hell im so late to use the horn that when someone doesnt start going when the light turns green... I sit there and debate with myself as to whether I should honk. So long so that the driver eventually notices and procedes anyway lol. Than you have others that are so damn quick to honk it. Drives me absolutely crazy. Like "SHUT THE FUUUUUCK UP". Does honking so quickly make you feel better? Only way I can justify it is when you are LITERALLY about to crash. Otherwise... lets be real... All you honking the horn is doing is letting the other driver know your either inpatient or pissed off. Its not needed, in which case I just give them the finger back.

I've thought about the 6 seat configuration over the 7 seat, but there's a few issues. 1st, the two captain seats don't fold down, that's going to suck when you need all the seats down because you need to load up your trunk. 2nd, the captain seats don't have armrests, it's not a huge deal, but there's no place to rest your arm. 3rd, if you have the third row folded down because you need more tunk space, there's no separation between the captain seats and the trunk. And because you have that walkthrough space between both seats, anything that you in the trunk is going to go flying forward through those two seats up into the front. Imagine having bags groceries flying forward all over the place. I really think the 7 seat configuration is the way to go in my opinion.

Blown away by how bad your paint was, my Model Y was flawless coming from Austin. It did have slight alignment issues with left headlight with bumper that was corrected. Also the seat back fell one day. Easy to fix myself. I determined they didn't push the headrests down until they snap which holds the back on. Must have been an operator issue. Also, I'm a big guy and the seat would not always tilt forward completely using the profile. Learned this was just my body weight providing too much resistance, they recalibrated the motor so it would push harder. Been working good since however the Tesla seat back motor does seem a bit weak/groany.
