Dave thanks for always providing great and interesting content your switching cars do provide you with content for your channel but the only thing we don't know about these cars is longevity reviews. How do these cars hold up after ex-number of years after ex-number of miles? Maybe an idea for another out-of-spec channel :-) I do enjoy your stuff and thank you for posting. How about a poll to see who can guess the next car :-)
Great video love your content the car is so beautiful and quiet
Love the channel Dave. As a former Model X owner wondering if you had any issue with the the front half shafts? My X had several sets of half shafts replaced over a 2 year plus timeframe (all covered under warranty)...Common issue that causes vibration and some noise when accelerating hard. Thanks
After driving the "Y" for 5300 miles, I've come to the same conclusion. The "Y" is a minivan. It's not an agile car; it's actually a bit twitchy. I took a ride out to North Adams- Mt Greylock today, and the twisty roads weren't fun. So... I'm seriously considering taking a bath on the "Y" and getting a 3 Performance.
Nice video, Ty Dave.
Whatever he buys will be on the Tesla charging network. Rivian is my guess
My long range model X came with the ultra red at no additional cost. I’m not sure when they changed that must’ve been just after you were looking Dave but now it’s back to 2500.

Dave, Happy Father’s Day! I enjoy your review. If the model X is at 90% state of charge and driven at 80mph, how far can it go when it is stopped at 10% state of charge? Thank you.
Thanks for the x review. Now I think I’ll keep my 23 model s. I need the 400 mile range.
Funny, I traded my 2017 Volt on a 2024 X LR last month. Like them both very much. Having the horn in the center of the steering wheel was a VERY pleasant surprise.

I’m interested in the X and trusted there would be some great content on the X going forward. I was sad to see it go to Colorado and not much appeared. Was hoping at least Colton would show a video of detailing & build/paint quality. Nothing…Bummer.

I get that experience with the driver door when im trying to enter. Sometimes it would open an inch and its an effort to pry it open as well as when closing it when I MANAGE TO get inside. Is there a fix for this? This happens to me occasionally. Thats my gripe with my MX 2023
I got the Model X because of the falcon doors. I know a lot of people may think that are unnecessary but the came in handy for us. I take care of my wheelchair bound mother and use a lift to get her into the car. The Falcon doors make is so much easier to get her into the car. I don't have to finagle with getting her in. No worries with watching out for her head hitting the top of the car or her bottom hitting the seat. The doors give you so much more room. Just lift her up and put her in. So easy.
Looking at previous videos - six months ago “ Wife drives my Model X for the first time and says it a keeper” - guess it was never likely! Look forward to the collection day video.
Full repair may have been pending parts. The tape may have been to return charger to service until cabinet replacement arrives.
One thing very underrated about the six seat configuration captains chairs is you can store so many items between and around those seats, for example, if you are on a road trip, and had a lot of luggage of different sizes and shapes, quite amazing how much this car can eat up in storage.
@robertuhe413
Ай бұрын
Really disagree with you on the comparison of storage volume in the X vs Y. We have both, and I can get way more in the X with 6 seat configuration
How much are you selling for and what's the mileage?
Does the Summon feature work on this top model?
It does tell u in the side camera view on the screen with a red blinking light for blind spot and makes sound I drive a model s
I love my ultra red with black interior on my Highland. The white look Soooo good though. I wish they came out with a black and white cross interior.
Dave - I’m also a Dave and believe we have exact personalities from a car and justify mode. Right on - great review. Love Tesla, although I’m a Porsche fan 🎉. New macan will replace my ice macan. If go Tesla, I’ll chose this exact configuration- mahalo Dave
We have the same 3 cars as Dave and we love all 3 of them. I drive the X and I love it. The X is a wonderful family car and I love the size. I didn't think I would like the falcon wing doors but I love them. The only thing I don't like is the horn button.
Kind of interesting about the horn. I had a 1972 Ford Courier Pickup that I purchased in 1978. It was broken into so I redid the interior and used a custom steering wheel. I decided to use a horn button on the steering column for looks although the center of the Grant GT custom steering wheel's center hub was "pressable." I sold the truck to a friend and told him about the horn button. When he was in a parking lot, someone backed out and did not see him. He desperately started pressing the center of the steering wheel but by the time he realized the horn button location, the car hit his fender. So I can understand how we have that mental tendency to press in the center of the steering wheel and in the split second it takes to remember the new location of a common device, an accident can ensue.
My wife has a 2023 X that looks basically identical to this one - beautiful red. Got it about 1 months ago before yours. I have a 3, also bought about the same time. The X we have is the dual motor version, has about 6000 miles. 22-inch wheels. Mostly used for trips and errands around town. It is a real road cruiser. We have had a couple of problems. About a week after purchase, the rear inverter failed, making the vehicle go into turtle mode, the first time very slow and shaking (I wasn’t there, but sure heard about it). We were able a few days later to get it to the service center about 35 miles away in faster turtle mode, and they took care of it (required rear inverter replacement). No other drivetrain problems since. Now however we have the pass-side falcon wing door will not open all the way unless you hold the screen button down for an extended period of time - the road service tech says this is a sensor problem (could be as simple as the sensor has become partially dismounted). So it looks like hubby here will get to take it to the service center, hopefully to be fixed in just an hour or two. I will say Tesla service has been very good to us, especially at the Rocklin(Tinker) service center NE of Sacramento, and my model 3 SR has had no problems except a couple of factory cosmetic defects that Tesla took care of.
It's time for you to pre-order lucid gravity soon

@32:23 Your left arm should be free floating with your left hand holding and driving the steering. When I drive my MYP, both arms are free floating, anchored by the hands on the steering. You're driving Dave! 🙂

Any seat color as long as it's black or white.
I’ve had nothing but trouble with my falcon wing doors. They replaced the door sensors five times. It was always the passenger door that wouldn’t open all the way Tesla Sarasota had it for a week recently and I talked to a technician and he said it wasn’t the sensors on the passenger door that was causing a problem it was the sensor on the driver side, falcon wing door that was causing a problem and I said thats strange because that door always open fully he says that the sensors in both doors communicate with each other constantly, so no other technician knew this evidently cause they kept changing the ultrasonic sensors in the passenger door now the doors open up perfectly all the time and of course now the car has been classified as a Lemon and Tesla‘s gonna buy it back from me. I’m really contemplating on whether I wanna get another X or not

The fact that this videos pops up after I watched Dave take delivery of his new car is crazy lol
Dave, you change cars more often than I change air filters!😊
Bought mine in Nov 2023, when the Escalade IQ is available im trading it in. Love the X, but since it's my 3rd Tesla, I'm kinda just bored honestly. And here in Austin, there's a million Tesla. Since we have home charging, less worried about the charging network which was why I initially kept buying only Tesla.
The door issue is a setting. You can set it to open less than fully if you have low clearance. You must have set it by mistake.

Mmmmm maybe we are related, I can justify about anything, specially when it’s about buying a new car . My wife name is Kathy too. Cue the twilight zone music.
I went model y with 7 seat and acceleration boost. Checks all boxes.
I would like to know if it's actually stereo and not just high quality audio. I have a 2020 model Y and if I move my head to the middle of the car over the armrest I can get a bit of stereo sound but not what I think of as true stereo. Listen to the beginning of the Beatles "Back in the USSR" that jet should travel from the far right to the far left very clearly. Also give a listen to the "Let it be" album, the very first track you have the first guitar that comes in is in the left speaker the next guitar part comes in on the right speaker and you can clearly hear each guitar left and right you can also hear Paul on one speaker and John on the other when they are singing. That does not happen in my car. Great sounding audio but not very good stereo. Also give a listen to the James Gang "Funk 49".

I think Dave is buying a million dollar coach and is gonna tow the new Model 3 refresh behind it 😎
Of all the cars I know you have owned so far is the Lucid you had is my favourite. So later this year and has massaging seats so won't be a Tesla perhaps a Polestar 3(????).
Model y owner 4 years. Model X tax baby owner for 2 months-best car ever…for me. I keep it in Chill mode as insane setting is too sensitive and too crazy fast (I am a previous 911 owner and would take it to the track). The bench back seat is comfortable and very useful as it can fold down. No need for the third row. Most annoying feature are the power driver/passenger doors. I really enjoy all of the new cars that are on the horizon. At the age of 65, my driving years are definitely limited. So the model X is perfect for now. Yeah, Dave is not the normal car consumer, but he does drive a lot, and gives a lot of good insight. Sadly, the model X may be my last car purchase, but I hope not. Cheers!
Agree, the horn button is ridiculous.
R1S Quad Gen 2?
Many of the negatives you mentioned are reasons that I got an Audi e-tron instead of a Model X when I decided to move on from my Model X. The e-tron has a better ride, a quieter cabin, German fit and finish, actual parking sensors, a full-fledged instrument cluster (which is configurable, unlike the X and S), an actual sunroof, etc. I test drove Model X three times, and had one as a loaner for 3 days. I really wanted to like it, but it does not ride that well, is noisy, and for me the huge windshield is a pain. The flimsy little visors did not hack it for me. The falcon wing doors are sexy looking and helpful in some use cases, but are more trouble than they are worth. I do miss the Tesla software in some cases, but the e-tron is a better car for my needs than the X would be.
Equinox EV, since I'm assuming it is just for testing a few months
New M3P now and Porsche Macan in the near future 👍🏻
My prediction: 🤓 Porsche Macan EV on order for Cathy - giveaway was the NY Auto Show and mention of the massaging seats. Colour guess in grey (not a solid guess on the colour). Tesla Model X Plaid swap for Tesla Model 3 Performance - I am going to guess in same combo red with white seats - giveaway was Tesla showroom sit in review of the Performance 3 and Dave convincing himself he needs because he can see his phone!📱
totally agree on steer by wire. if the X or S had that, the Yoke would make much more sense
Did I miss the part where you mentioned the useless sunvisors? My wife lovers her '23 MXLR even with the Tesla idiosyncrasys. I prefer my '22 MYP.
Try putting older family members (80’s) in. The falcon doors are a godsend.
