The 2024 model x is a funky, futuristic SUV that’s quick and spacious for seven. A large panoramic windshield, forward-opening falcon-wing doors and sports car-beating acceleration make the Model X a standout in the electric SUV class. However, a stiff ride and second-row captain’s chairs that don’t fold hamper practicality.

Most of the cabin’s controls run through a 17-inch color touchscreen that’s also home to the infotainment system and vehicle settings. It offers built-in satnav and audio menus, but not Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, which smartphone addicts may miss. A 22-speaker 960-watt sound system is standard.

2024 Model X: What’s New in Tesla’s Latest SUV”come with the same features and are similarly equipped. The dual-motor all-wheel drive model’s EPA-estimated 335-mile range is the best in its class, though it’s not quite as long as the Audi Q8 e-tron and Mercedes EQS SUVs. It’s also a bit quicker to accelerate from 0-60 mph. Tesla’s level three supercharger can refill the battery to 80% in about 30 minutes.

The more expensive Plaid trim level adds carbon-fiber accents and a unique exterior design, but it diminishes the Model X’s EPA range to 326 miles. It’s still fast enough to please ravenous dopamine appetites and comes with the full suite of Tesla’s Enhanced Autopilot driver aids, including automatic lane changing and semiautonomous driving.
