Tesla Model X 2018 electric SUV review | Mat Watson Review

- Nothing on the road looks quite like a Tesla Model X. It's not just imposing, its falcon wing doors are downright stunning, but what's it like once you get underneath its all-electric skin? I take an in-depth look at this futuristic seven-seater to see if it's the way forward or just a diversion.
NOTE You can now fold the down middle seats - whoopee!

Few things have changed since Aug 2017
1. Middle seats are foldable.
2. The supercharging network is huge and the car only needs 15-25min top up to get 80% charge. Not 45 mins.
3. The car's onboard navigation and range estimation is very accurate and will tell you exactly where to stop for charging. (Route planner)
4. The falcon wings are practical and work just fine. I own a car and I'm telling you. (Ignore the 13-year-olds commenting here)
5. The fit and finish have improved significantly.
6. The car has Autopilot Version 9 (Car sees with 8 camera's, Radar and Ultrasonics) and autopilot works great. (Requires full supervision of the driver)
7. Tesla is upgrading its Autopilot HW suite to version 3 soon with a super-powerful computer that can handle their super neural network. (Means level 4 self-driving is close to reality) and any cars built with hardware suite 2.5 is easy to upgrade with a small chip plug and play.
8. The car's onboard cameras can be used as a dashcam.
9. Remote Tesla app is improved and can heat the car remotely (Even seats, steering wheel)
10. If you install a level 2 charger at home you can 100% charge the car in under 4hrs.
11. Version 9.0 firmware has activated all cameras and the car has blind spot detection, vehicle type recognition, pedestrian, cyclist recognition.
12. New update enables "Nav on autopilot" feature which enables automatic overtaking slow vehicles and intelligent driving)
13. The car UI is improved significantly and much pleasant to use.
14. EU Tesla owners get Spotify premium lifetime to stream as much music as they want. (US users get Slacker I think)
15. The supercharging network is massive and you can drive from north Norway to South Portugal)
Few not so good things.
1. No 360' parking view so still some blind spots when parking.
2. The over the air updates can create bugs and sometimes cause error messages.
3. Autopilot is still not 100% safe on normal roads but works perfectly fine on motorways. (Auto lane change is amazing)
4. Nav on Autopilot is great but still need a lot of work.
5. If you damage the car it can take forever to get it fixed due to slow parts supply chain.
6. Customer service is OK and could be improved.
7. The car's interior quality is still not that great compared to some other ICE vehicles like Audi Q7. (Nowhere near in my opinion)
Thanks mate very helpful
I think the reason tesla doesn't add 360° camera is bacause "it can park itself, why would you need a 360°camera?" Thing
"Few"
Reza Rahman Self parking can be unreliable and some people just want to park themselves
I agree. The 'normal' sound system actually is quiet decent. The premium packet basically gives you a subwoofer, but the normal sound system has a very decent amount of bass. The Falcon Wing doors do work very well and there's no water dropping inside the cabin, so sealing is great.
Since we filmed this video, Tesla's introduced folding middle seats. Unfortunately, our car didn't have this feature.
carwow I hate its design.
carwow Can you review a full option Toyota Landcruiser 200 Please
Hey mat I asked for this car on the last vid thanks

Go make your own version then. other than that, no one cares.

Great Review Mat as always! Love the X, it's not perfect but it's the best 'New' car for years.
Loppysaurus rex when ever someone likes something they have to be a fanboy don't they? What do you like huh? Audi, bmw ? Well then you're an idiot fanboy your self that knows nothing about cars. So stop trying to sound like you do...
ReflexFusion98 thanks so much for telling someone how it is!!
Loppysaurus rex fanboy for liking a car? Let me guess you must hate every car from any brand because that would make you a fanboy and you would hate that right?
ReflexFusion98 he probably likes some shitty Toyota
😮☺
North Korean cars are better! Mat should review our great cars!
Kim Jong Un your picture looks like KJU is taking a poo 😂😂😂
Do they explode 5 seconds after launch like your missiles? ;)

Yeah, they're all nukiller powered :)

Love how honest you guyes are, not like everyone else who doesn't say anythinge negative about tesla
Now imagine bringing 12 people with that car that is my dad record on a 7 seater
You bring back memories. As kids, we went out with our neighbour s dad to a river in a national car Dacia 1310 ( now owned by Renault). We were 12 as well, just a sedan though:))

Mat you're the best car reviewer I know.
Keep up the good work
Don't know why people on this channel hate the look so much. I quite like it.
It looks really good in black, 22 inch optional wheels and suspenssion set to low setting. Also, I dont know it might sound funny, but I swear it looks way better from the rear in US license plates. for some reason, those european long license plates mess the looks of the car.
totally love the front. aggressive yet elegant. the back, not so much. just seems too much like a minivan
I love the Model S. I wasn't too excited about the X..... until I actually went for a drive in one. Wow!
Sean Z u will be disappointed
@@megamegamegapenis8884 ?

It's reviews like this is the reason why you are one of the best (if not the best) car reviewers in the world. Thank you for creating and sharing as usual. Can't wait to see you explore the 2018 Porsche Cayenne.

Yo I was just doing day
The middle row is no longer electric unless you get the 6 seater, however now you can fold the middle row and you can manually adjust the middle row
0:26 For a second there he forgot the door doesn't close like on most regular cars 😂😂
I saw that and got me cracking! 😂😂😂
Such an amazing car. If I had the money I would have bought it already! This is the future of cars ❤️
:(
No load lip, though you do have this false floor so you could create one if you... uh... wanted to???
HAHAHA, best line in the whole video
Haha Matt jumped back at 7:38 (starts at 7:34) for fear of the falcon door hitting him, sooo funny
There are cup holders in the back. The hood closes very easily, but because the entire car is rust-free aluminium, it should never be closed like it was here as it will dent - place a hand on each side of the hood and press down once, then it’s closed. If you have a 5-seater you’ll have 2200 litres in the back trunk!! It’s an amazing car and the price has just been reduced by roughly £40-50K 😱
This thing isn’t just a gorgeous SUV, looking into the back seat area and with the wing doors, it might as well be a futuristic stormtrooper vehicle.
Doesn't the latest model of the Model X have a different switch for opening/closing the rear doors (more a microswitch than a mechanical switch) and fold flat middle seats? That would suggest that this is not the 2017/18 Model X.
you are right about the switch, I just went to a Tesla dealership and saw the new one

9:09 yeah because your not closing it properly.
"a Mercedes S class feels a bit posher on the inside"
- That's an understatement. A C class feels a bit posher inside than a Tesla, S class is in a totally different world.
true
Whoop dee doo
tesla is 10x better though

Keep it real 😉
Imagine parking in a tight parking space and absolutely destroying both the doors and the car next to you while trying to open them.
4:15
Easy to change batteries! Great design!
You're the really MVP. I was laughing all along. You're funny
You should mention that the new 5 seat option allows the 2nd row to fold flat.
This vehicle would have been perfect with standard rear doors and with a more contrasted design. Self closing-opening doors are just so great.
So happy I ordered the White on White Model X which came out to only 96k before taxes and that included self driving. The suv is one of a kind and so fun to drive.
Vladimir Ozeryan it doesnt even look like a suv tbh
@@niccolomachiavelli8763 you should see it in person. An SUV is a Sport which it is , Utility , which it is and Vehicle , which it is.
Obsidian Fury It’s the kind of English that says you need to get your eyes checked. It’s also the kind of English where you ( probably 13 ) doesn’t know what SUV means. Like I said, troll somewhere else you have no clue what you’re talking about kid.
Vladimir Ozeryan damn you are dumb af
I don’t mean to hate on this van,but, how in the fuck are you going to park in the middle between two cars and be able to open the doors without hitting the cars on the side.
Like he said, it opens with just 11 inches of space. It's easier to enter than a regular car door
Each door has two hinges and sensors to open in tight spaces
i don't want to be late to the party, but you should check out the comparison tesla did during the anouncement for this car, it allows you to get in the car way easier than normal doors or even those weird sliding ones
Next years will be interesting in automotive industry when all companies have their electric drive train vehicles in the mass market. Who succeeds and who not?
Imagine it’s raining and ur rushing towards your car and the Tesla door be like: nope
The only problem I was with the falcon wings is what if you park between 2 cars wouldn’t the doors hit the cars or if they are designed to not open if they are to close to something then you wouldn’t be able to open the doors.
i saw a vid where they explained that the model x actually doesn't topple in an accident because of the center of gravity
My dream car😍
ALEX458 A sameeee
ALEX458 A same
Saammmee I always watch this video just to see this car I don’t care what anyone says
Mines the Toyota Land cruiser (don't judge me)
Mark Knight do you know the expensive car in Afghanistan is land cruiser bulletproof the price is about 300000$
The headroom was so small at the rear seats.... Also i wad not expecting those bad things that the host was talking about
this isn't the 2018 or 2017 tesla mdel x this one is older, the new Model X doesn't have a piano black finish on the back of the seat and the buttons for closing the Falcon Wing doors are different on the new Model X
Good review but you missed one key thing...... If it has been raining and there is standing water on the roof, if you are sat in the back seat and someone opens the other door ...... you get water dumped all over you....... They have not fitted any gutter or rubber to re-direct the water....... It's clear this was designed in Calif where they do not have English weather.
You can control the middle seat with a little joystick pad thing on the front of it
When I'm older I want to be a youtuber in la and I could get this car I will work all the time to have it and a Ford ranger
This is not a 2018. Tesla doesn't do model years like other manufacturers. If you want a 2018 Tesla you'll have to wait until January 1, 2018. The title is misleading.
I'm not sure what makes something an SUV anymore. I would think crossover or minivan would be a more appropriate name. That's not an insult to the car, that's just what I think is more accurate.
Full charge = 180miles (if you're not careful). Recharge at home (with optional high power charge) = 6 hrs minimum. So that's 180miles and then a 6hr wait, somewhere . . .
Matt: “There is nothing else like it in world”
Mercedes: doors of sls/slr....??
Best car ever made :D
my best friends has one and when I went in it, I don't know why but it made me feel dizzy hot and sick and apparently its cus people aren't used to it being quiet, is that true?
Yeah
Yea
7:35 fail 😂😂
3:07 you forgot to check the fronk/front trunk space.
This fella and Doug the yank are the best car men on you tube.
I'm 6'2" and those door corners would hit me about middle forehead I think!
7:40 That didn't go as well as expected it seems.... xD
Jamie A hahaha finally someone who noticed xD
Love Tesla but that was funny XD
hhaahhaahaha
If he was a stone pillar that door would have scrapped hard
@@JMNTN It would have stopped. They fixed all the glitches since then
Doug is the type of guy
Oh wrong channel
少年 ベルマーレファン Chanel dumbass
True
My niece has one with the three rows of seats and her three kids really love the doors.
This is not a 2018 model. This is a 2016. In 2018, they changed the seats, its no longer the glossy back. They also changed the falcon wings door button.
I've seen one in person its really good looking 🙄😀😀😀😀
What’s the mpg?
That’s a joke btw
Oliver Vale It’s around 150 if it was the same price to charge but it was gas.
Well we now need mpkw (miles per kilowatt)
Blumming great review
I own an X90D, it is absolutely expensive, but it's also amazing. Would never spend this much on another vehicle, but the MX is worth it.
I have to stop watching Matt and his reviews as it ends up I have done nothing all day so addictive!
7:35...😂😂😂😂
" just lie-aht "
I bet those doors aren’t as wonderful when it rains, and you need to get in/out.
Gille87 It’s actually just fine
Absolutely love the Model X and can’t wait for the Plaid model!
The sound of motor.... Is relaxing then anything i have heard till now
This car mum
FINALLY
Who cares what features it has on the inside when there's an amazingly elegant slow motion falcon wings spreading itself gently and waiting for you to get into it's arms and then it warms you up on the inside. That's what falcon do to it's babies right?
and the sound of the electronics I mean that is so future
Dickson Teoh if the doors have enough space to open... Which they don't in a lot of car parks
Dickson Teoh 4
PT Aviation you clearly never seen or driven one
JUST MONIKA and you clearly don't know how parking spaces in a lot of European countries are.
Make a review on the Mercedes GLS
Charlie Molda Mercedes is of no interest compared to this. B
This video make u realise something...
the electric cars are the future
soon or later.
THAT PANASONIC WINDSCREEN IS HUGE!!!
Why are people saying it looks ugly?
Then interior is so amazing and the outside is so damn futuristic and awesome.
7:39 u can actually but u got scared to hit u lol
How many horsepowers does it have and does it have launch control
BORNTOENJOY 500 290bhp and no launch control
BORNTOENJOY 500 The P models have higher horsepower and launch control
its a tesla not a tezla
Tezla is correct. It's a Croation surname.
Paul Riddle But the company is not Croatian, it is American. Elon pronounces it as Tesla, and he has final say, as he’s the owner of the company.
Absolutely fabulous review, Mat! Thanks muchly!
The model x frunk is supposed to close on its own. All you have to do is put it down and the car will close it by itself or you can press the frunk button on the key fob
It’s the Tesla Aztek
haha finally someone thinks the same as me
Did he really have to shove his finger in the 12v socket to prove it’s a 12v socket..? 🙄
He did
5:20 jus li ah 🤣
This is the best tesla review ever!! Good job!
I'll love to see a comparison between the Tesla Model X and the Range Rover Velar, they're both quite good heavy hitters, even though the Range Rover is newer, it would be quite interesting to see which one the better SUV,
7:35. He had to move out the way. It would’ve hit his face I swear
9:10 what happens with your shirt
Stay away from tesla for 2 years. 2020 would be good time to purchase this as they are working on so many kinks
sean lawson actually this is so true but there are so many tesla fanboys out there. whom havent even driven one lol. that being said its a good car just has reliability issues
cars always have "kinks."
its 2020 now and there's still issues lol
@@Kysen10 Not as much
update we love spacex, traveled to Boca Chica to see the starship get built. & we got the S dual motor fsd last Christmas 🎄 😎 still have the cybertruck tri motor or 4 motor fsd on order, i got lots of solar & backup battery system to charge them both. i have tsla too. i just got tired of paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline.time to buy the DIPS!
I think the next X will come without the gullwing doors. Nice design touch but its not being copied by anyone else. focusing on making the car cheaper to build and improving fit and finish will be the main effort. Should see some boost in range as well and ideally a cut in its sticker price.
7:35 fail.
I've watched many videos of Model X till now but thanks to this guy for explaining every inch of it. BTW you kinda look like Tom Cruise ;) :P
nice comparison...i also think so myself
Dream car!!!!!!
Anyone with me???
"The rear windows don't go more than half-way down."?
Of course they don't, that's standard on most cars!
Hmm, some say the sound quality is really good. Curious.
The middle row head rests don't fold down? We can see from that view point that that's not a problem for those 2 rear seats.
I hear the automatically-opening (driver's) doors can be dangerous. Or have Tesla corrected the faults there?
Thanks for the great video.
I would fit it with a 40" display, because, why not?!
Using a display for all functions rather than all kinds of buttons and controls is a lot cheaper and also less complex. However, I think a combination of display and real controls looks and feels much better.
