The Tesla Model X is a battery electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV built by Tesla, Inc. since 2015. Developed from the full-sized sedan platform of the Tesla Model S, the vehicle notably uses falcon wing doors for passenger access.

The Model X has an EPA size class as an SUV, and shares around 30 percent of its content with the Model S, half of the originally planned 60 percent, and weighs about 10 percent more. Both the Model X and Model S are produced at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California. The prototype was unveiled at Tesla's design studios in Hawthorne, California on February 9, 2012. First deliveries of the Model X began in September 2015. After one full year on the market, in 2016, the Model X ranked seventh among the world's best-selling plug-in cars. A refresh of the Tesla Model X was introduced in 2021, offering a new "Plaid" performance model, along with a revised interior, powertrain, and suspension.

As of September 2023, the Model X is available as a Long-Range version with an estimated EPA range of 348 miles (560 km) and a high performance "Plaid" version with an estimated EPA range of 333 miles (536 km).

Common Tesla Model x problems

Based on the complaints from owners of the Tesla Model X, several common problems have been identified:

  • Windshield Susceptibility to Cracking: The panoramic windshield of the Model X, while offering an unobstructed view, is susceptible to cracking from minor impacts like small stones. These cracks, although not posing a safety risk according to Tesla, can be expensive to repair and hinder driver visibility, impacting safety and driving experience.
  • Suspension System Concerns: The suspension system of the Model X has raised red flags among owners due to reports of strange noises and premature wear and tear. These issues not only lead to discomfort during rides but also result in costly repairs or replacements, particularly concerning for a luxury SUV intended for long journeys under various conditions.
  • Build Quality Issues: The Tesla Model X has faced criticism for poor build quality, especially concerning the airbags. The airbags in some Model X vehicles have failed to deploy, posing a safety risk during accidents. This issue has led to recalls and repairs for thousands of vehicles, highlighting a crucial safety flaw in the Model X.
  • Electrical and Infotainment System Problems: Owners have reported various electrical issues, including freezing screens, unresponsive controls, and random system reboots. The infotainment system, controlled through a central touchscreen, has been a common source of complaints, impacting the overall driving experience and functionality of the vehicle.
  • Charging Concerns: Some owners have expressed concerns about charging-related issues, affecting the convenience and usability of the Model X. These problems, along with insufficient range for some users, have added to the frustrations of owning a Tesla Model X.

These common problems with the Tesla Model X highlight a range of issues that have impacted the ownership experience for many users, from safety concerns to functionality and build quality issues.

Tesla Model x

Which year of Model X is reliable?

2016 and earlier models had some growing pains – things like falcon wing door issues and general reliability quirks. It's like the early days of a new tech gadget. Cool, but a bit risky. 2017 and onwards are usually seen as better years.

What is the most common issue with Tesla's?

Battery and Charging Related Issues

One of the key components in any Tesla vehicle is its high-capacity battery pack. While Tesla's battery technology has come a long way, issues related to charging and battery life can still arise.

What are the disadvantages of the Tesla X?

Charging System Frustrations

This is further compounded by reported difficulties in getting the car to charge consistently or maintain a charge. Another significant drawback of the Model X, for the older models, is its lagging fast-charging capabilities compared to its more affordable sibling, the Model 3.

Why did Tesla stop making Model X?

The Model S and Model X were removed from sale in December 2021, to enable the manufacturer to concentrate on the growing demand for its cheaper Model 3 and Model Y cars.

Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-01
  • Date Complaint: 2024-08-18
  • VIN: 7SAXCDE54NF
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: I am writing to express a safety concern regarding the Tesla Model X. I have found that the location of the horn is difficult to identify and activate, especially during emergency situations where quick reflexes are critical. In high-stress scenarios, the horn is a vital tool for alerting other drivers and avoiding potential accidents. However, the current design of the Tesla Model X makes it challenging to quickly locate and press the horn button. This could lead to delayed response times, increasing the risk of collisions or other hazardous situations. Given the importance of this issue, I strongly urge Tesla to redesign the horn button to make it more intuitive and easier to access under duress. Additionally, I recommend that any modifications or improvements related to this concern be made available to all Tesla Model X owners free of charge. Ensuring that this safety enhancement is accessible to everyone will help protect Tesla drivers, passengers, and other road users.

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-07-31
  • Date Complaint: 2024-08-01
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE69NF
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: when applying the brakes the steering wheel vibrates and car has reduced stopping power. when I took it to Tesla service center they said the "rotor runout is out of spec" the car has 25k miles and new "performance pads" were installed by Tesla as an upgrade in December 2023. the shaking developed after this. Tesla says the rotors are a wearable part and not covered under warranty.

  • Date Complaint: 2024-07-29
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE53NF
  • Components: STEERING
  • Summary: We bought the Tesla Model X as a CPO vehicle from Tesla on [XXX]. Within the first 2 months of driving the car we saw an an alert for “Steering assist reduced” and shortly after the steering wheel locked up making the car inoperable. This has happened twice while driving: [XXX] [XXX] This puts the driver and passengers at huge risk because the car was unable to turn while blocking a major intersection on [XXX] . We have taken in the vehicle in to Telsa Santa Barbara service center and they were unable to reproduce the issues so they did not make any fixes and returned the vehicle back in the same condition. There was a “Steering assist reduced” warning message to the driver before the steering wheel locked up. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  • VIN: 7SAXCBE62NF
  • Components: STEERING
  • Summary: As I was making an unprotected left turn, the power steering failed. The steering became incredibly heavy. There was almost an accident.

Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-02-14
  • Date Complaint: 2024-06-16
  • Crash: 1
  • VIN: 7SAXCDE55NF
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: I was stopped at an intersection in the left turn lane heading southeast at a busy intersection. Left turn signal was on and within 3 minutes of getting to the intersection the vehicle experiences an uncommanded full power acceleration into a very busy intersection. To avoid oncoming traffic, I veered to the right while breaking which did not stop the vehicle. Avoiding a traffic pole and continuing into a business empty parking lot which usually is not empty due to loitering in the area, and avoiding the building the vehicle continued accelerating at a high rate of speed and was stopped only because it hit a metal pole which was hidden by a large bush on the side of the business. If the pole would have not stopped the vehicle it would have continued into oncoming traffic in the north bound lane. Air bags were deployed. The only visible injury I received was burns from the airbag on my right arm and sever busing on my abdomen which has taken 4 months to resolve. The police were on the scene immediately, my insurance company representatives have seen the videos produce by myself and Tesla sent to me via email. The insurance had put a hold on the vehicle which was towed to Carparts. Tesla has never contacted me or my insurance company that I know of besides my request by email for the additional data. I have driven a Tesla model S for 7 yrs prior to purchasing the Model X. The Model X had an incident once that it stopped on its own while I was driving on an interstate. I veered to the right to get off the highway and thankful no one was behind me. There wasn't any indication that anything was wrong and may have been something corrected by an automatic update which dealt with exiting right off a highway which I was not doing but this incident never happened again.
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-08
  • Date Complaint: 2024-06-08
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE6XNF
  • Components: STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: Many newer models of Teslas do not include a horn in the middle of the steering wheel. Instead there is a small button on the left side which is impossible to find to warn others of a possible collision! The driver gets distracted trying to find the horn and makes the situation even worse by not reacting quick enough. They released a new version of the wheel with a horn but those who are out of warranty have to pay a large amount for a basic yet hugs safety oversight. They should be replaced on with recall free of charge.

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-01
  • Date Complaint: 2024-06-08
  • VIN: 7SAXCDE54NF
  • Components: STEERING
  • Summary: The location of horn small icon and not in middle of the steering wheel is very hard to locate when you need it and safety concerns. Several times I needed to use the horn in emergency but were not able to locate it when you are in sudden need. Thanks
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2022-08-06
  • Date Complaint: 2024-05-24
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE65N
  • Components: SEAT BELTS,AIR BAGS
  • Summary: The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the driver’s side rear passenger’s seat belt failed to release the child occupying the seat. The contact stated that after five minutes the seat belt was released. The contact then stated that while driving at approximately 20 MPH, with the front passenger and the driver’s side rear seats occupied, the restraint system fault for each passenger was displayed. Additionally, the contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the messages appeared intermittently while both seats were unoccupied. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a seat belt module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2022-11-01
  • Date Complaint: 2024-05-20
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE50NF
  • Components: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
  • Summary: The passenger side back door does not open consistently leading to loss of egress. Although the other doors do function regularly, removing a child from a car seat is nearly impossible when accessing from another door. The door also struggles to close consistently, and has closed on my son in the past. The inconsistency of a functioning falcon wing door is a safety risk and it continues to worsen despite many attempts to repair the sensors. The Tesla service center has attempted to repair the door and sensors 4 times without success. The most recent service appointment they stated the door was not opening correctly because it was getting stuck in “indoor mode” sensing something over the top of the car. They replaced the sensor but the problem has not improved. I have notified Tesla of the ongoing issue multiple times without any response, even via certified mail with proof of delivery. There are no warning lamps, beeps or any notifications showing an error in door function.

  • Date Complaint: 2024-04-13
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE6XNF
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: This vehicle has massive and unbearable static electrical shock when the car stopped and trying to close the door as metal body of the car. and I have several Videos showing the electric shocks The auto pilot stop the vehicle on the highway for no reason that’s put the passenger in serious rear collision
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-04-02
  • Date Complaint: 2024-04-04
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE60NF
  • Components: STEERING
  • Summary: The yoke steering wheel only had a small horn button on the right side, only accessible by right thumb. If you are in the middle of a turn that requires more than a quarter turn, then your hand cannot possible be in the right place to use the horn. The lack of a horn in the center of the steering (like every other car) is unsafe. On many occasions I have found myself needing the horn but unable to press it fast enough and have had to take other evasive actions to avoid other vehicles.
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-23
  • Date Complaint: 2024-04-04
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE50NF
  • Components: STEERING
  • Summary: On more than one occasion lost power steering and ability to steer properly suddenly in mid drive. It is associated with a warning that comes on at random times saying steering assist reduced
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-15
  • Date Complaint: 2024-03-20
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE69NF
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: Center steering wheel horn is not included on these vehicles, which should be considered a significant safety issue as we are trained from a young age to hit the center of the steering wheel/yoke in the event of an imminent accident. I was recently driving when another vehicle ran a stop sign, and I was barely able to avoid them; however, when hitting the "horn" to alert the other driver, it didn't work as the horn button is not in a typical location. This should be considered a significant safety risk. Elon Musk himself indicated a software update would fix this issue; however, it has not. Tesla now indicates it requires a new wheel/yoke and has not yet made it available or covered under warranty.
Tesla Model x 2022
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-03-06
  • Date Complaint: 2024-03-11
  • VIN: 7SAXCBE59NF
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: A couple of days ago, when I was dropping off my child at school, I parked in a spot that required parallel parking to save time as I was in a rush. After reversing into the spot, I just needed to move forward a bit by 1-2 feet. I naturally slide the gear shift up on the screen. Unfortunately, it didn't slide into place, and the car was still in reverse (R), but I didn't realize it. I was already very close to the car behind me. When I pressed the accelerator, the car continued to back up. Luckily, I slammed the brake, avoiding a collision. Just wanted to share that even after a year and a half of driving a Model X, mistakes can still happen. After reading what happened to [XXX] , I posted what happened to me on a social platform and someone else shared they had a similar experience that needed up with a crash. So I decided to report mine and encouraged them to do the same. I like the minimalist design but I need to stay alive to enjoy it. As Tesla is moving away from stalkless design in more models, I hope they can do something to make the current shift more noticeable.

Latest negative Tesla Model x car reviews

  1. Jamie Huel 2025-03-29

    Vehicle year: 2019

    During my first drive in the rain, water entered the trunk of my car without my knowledge. This caused a bad smell in the car, and despite making numerous calls and waiting on hold for over 30 minutes, I struggled to receive assistance. I requested mobile service, but unfortunately, they did not show up. I eventually took the car to a service center, where I discovered that mold had started to grow. Although the service team dried the trunk, it took them four days to return the car to me. Unfortunately, during a family vacation and while driving in the rain, water once again entered the trunk, ruining my daughter's clothes for the wedding she was attending.

  2. Edwardo Grimes 2025-03-26

    Vehicle year: 2020

    Hey there! I recently purchased a Tesla Model X, but I'm having some trouble with the battery. It seems to be draining pretty quickly and I'm only getting around 350 km with one full charge, which is much less than the advertised 586 km. Sometimes I have to drive without A/C and music to conserve energy, and I need to charge every 300 km. I reached out to Tesla about my concerns, but I haven't received a response yet. I'm feeling pretty disappointed with my new purchase. Can you help me out?

  3. Rocky Crona 2025-03-21

    Vehicle year: 2023

    I recently purchased a Model X from Tesla, which came with a warranty that includes the battery. The car is rated for 237 miles of range, but unfortunately, I have been experiencing some issues. Within four days of purchase, I noticed that I am only getting 40 miles on a full charge, which is far less than expected. Additionally, the car seems to be losing 24 miles of range per day even when it's not being driven, which is much higher than the 5-10 miles per day that is typically expected. Despite my concerns, Tesla's service support team has informed me that this is normal and that my car's battery is actually outperforming the average Model X. As a result, I am feeling frustrated and disappointed with my purchase. I believe that the advertising was misleading and that the warranty support has been poor. I hope that Tesla can address these issues and improve their customer service in the future.

  4. Brad Paucek 2025-03-03

    Vehicle year: 2023

    Our Model X has unfortunately experienced a park brake failure issue since the first week of delivery. Despite having it towed twice, Tesla has been unable to resolve the problem. While they have identified it as a sensor issue, they have not provided us with the part number that was replaced. As a result, we have been unable to drive the car due to safety concerns. We have also experienced some discomfort due to squeaking seats and an impractical square steering wheel. The control interface has also been confusing, requiring multiple clicks to perform basic functions. We are currently considering selling the car.

    Please ensure that ROAD NOISE and leaky windows are checked thoroughly. The construction quality of the building appears to be poor, with many flaws. I would rate it 1/5 stars.

Latest positive Tesla Model x car reviews

  1. Donnie Stanton 2025-03-28

    Vehicle year: 2022

    You can expect a few quirks, but in reality, it's a much better experience than the 2 MB we had previously. This is especially true since they require little to no service. When we travelled from Ontario, Canada to Disney in Florida last December, we were a bit intimidated since we were new to electric cars. However, the Tesla supercharger network is probably what makes it the best choice for travelling. We had a great trip and I can confidently say that I don't miss the $700 service visits to Mercedes Benz. Teslas hold their value well and not having to go to a gas station ever is the icing on the cake. Even though it's 4 years old now and has 160,000kms, it's still as good as new.

  2. Wilmer Howell 2025-03-23

    Vehicle year: 2019

    I've owned five different cars like most consumers, but I wanted to try something different that was also environmentally friendly. I have to say, after the transition period, I will never go back to gas cars! The supercharging and little to no maintenance are just some of the benefits. My X is an incredible work of innovative technology that is both stylish, efficient, and environmentally conscious. The only issue is that back seat riders may feel the bumps a bit more due to the lack of cushioning and shock absorption. However, given the all-around luxury features, my riders got over it quickly. I just love my ride and highly recommend it!

  3. Clement Runte 2025-03-23

    I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your new car! While it's still early days, it sounds like you're impressed with the car's performance and features. The car seems to be a technical marvel, with Tesla's driver assistance autopilot leading the way compared to other luxury car brands. The automatic doors are a great touch, and the ability to control the car from your phone is a standout feature. It's great to hear that the car's windshield provides excellent visibility, and that the car handles and rides comfortably. It's clear that the Model X is a car that's ahead of its time, and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

    Hello! I've been the proud owner of my 2017 Tesla Model X 90D for 22 days now, and I've already driven over 4000 miles on it! I've taken it on every terrain except for snow, and it continues to impress me by outperforming all other competition, including my neighbor's Lamborghini Gallardo! 😄 I've had no problems locating superchargers along my route, and the best part is that they're totally free! Initially, I was worried about having this car in my apartment on the beach, but it's been no trouble at all since I only have to charge it every few days, and charging is pretty quick. I have autopilot version 8.1 installed, and I can honestly say that it's a serious step into the future. Nowadays, 90% of my long-term driving uses autopilot, and I only fully drive in construction zones, bad roads, or city driving. It's so amazing that it probably saved my life! One late night, I dozed off while driving back from Washington DC to Miami, but autopilot sensed my hands weren't on the wheel and woke me up with a chime, all while the car was safely maneuvering through traffic! This is hands-down the best and safest vehicle that has ever been produced for the public! It compliments aerodynamics and ingenuity so well that the feeling can only be similar to the shock and awe of the Citroen DS of 1955 that paved the way for safer, more efficient, and quality cars. By the way, the Tesla has no engine, so say goodbye to gas and hello to more trunk space! 😱🤗👌

    At first, I wasn't interested in this car. However, my spouse convinced me to buy an electric car and this one met our needs perfectly. While there are some unnecessary gadgets, I would have preferred better cup holders or interior lighting instead of more arcade games. Also, if you're not a people person, be prepared for everyone to speak to you when you have your falcon doors open. In terms of infrastructure, the industry does have multiple charging compatibility issues, but in the three years we've owned it, the amount of charges has increased dramatically. I've driven long trips across the Midwest and have never had any issues. Even at Lake Ozark, there is a supercharger at Target. The car is incredibly fast and safe, and has the best reliability of any car we've ever owned. Previously, I owned multiple MBs, which I thought were far sexier than my Tesla, but there is nothing sexy about constantly scheduling service appointments. I have had zero issues with my car after three years! I cannot believe how well this car does in the snow. It's amazing that via software upgrades, you get the benefit of increased range, new features, and of course, we just got full self-driving which is going well. Overall, I would tell you that this is a car I originally didn't want, but it has turned out to be an incredibly reliable, safe, and convenient car for our family that we will have for a very long time.
