There's so many interesting aspects to the 2020 Model X — the panoramic windshield, the upward-opening falcon-wing doors and the sports car-beating acceleration — that you can almost overlook the fact that the Tesla Model X is electric. Cargo and passenger space is impressive, too, as long you opt for the five-seat configuration. But subpar smartphone integration and a lack of practicality continue to be weak spots.
Long Range Plus model offers a bit more range than the previous Long Range
Part of the first Model X generation introduced for 2016
Edmunds says
The 2020 Model X remains unmatched in terms of combining electric thrills and practicality. We're fans of its impressive range and serious speed, especially in top Performance trim. Unfortunately, the Model X still suffers from significant inherent flaws such as the slow-opening falcon-wing doors and stiff ride quality. Overall, the Model X looms large in the electric SUV class, but the Audi e-tron in particular is an intriguing alternative.
318 milesThe range for a used 2020 Tesla Model X is estimated to be 318 miles because electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year, with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.

Estimated range mapThis map is a visual representation of the possible one-way and round-trips by this vehicle (on a full charge) from the geometric center of Columbus, Ohio. The depicted ranges are based on the estimated new vehicle range value provided by the EPA, rounded down to miles for one-way and miles for round-trip. Actual range will vary depending on the condition of this vehicle’s battery pack, how you drive, driving conditions and other factors.
240V Home ChargingEstimated total charging time when using a 240V outlet. This is either a 3-prong or 4-prong outlet used for appliances, for example a clothes dryer.
EV batteries should be kept at 30-80% charged to extend battery life.
8 yrs or 150,000 milesThe federal government requires that EV batteries be warrantied for a minimum of eight years or 100,000 miles. The EV battery warranty includes replacement if your battery capacity drops below a certain percentage of the original capacity.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.
Estimated battery warranty remaining is 3 years or 80,000 miles for this car.Warranty remaining value is based on the vehicle year, and on driving 14,000 miles per year. Confirm exact warranty coverage for each vehicle with the dealers and the manufacturer before purchasing.

2020 Tesla Model X Long Range 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 05/20 (electric DD)
The Model X is roomy; In a 5-seater we can have two Midsized dogs in boxes in the trunk; two teenager in the back and everyones stuff for a winter vacation. Its SO great for trips. The car is fun, space-age and only slightly more expensive then the S. The falcon doors are special, but we like them; you get to know automatically when they are extremely practical compared to normal doors … and when they are not. We’ve had no serious repairs over the 15 months we’ve had it: Wind noise from a door, a sensor that dropped off; all fixed fast and with a free loaner car to try. Only issue i would say is the paint; wrap if you care for this.
Best car I have ever owned!

2020 Tesla Model X Long Range 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 05/20 (electric DD)
I have had this car for about two months. I have a 2020 Model X Long Range Plus. On a full charge I get 351 miles of range, which is phenomenal! I recommend getting the 20in rims, because they give a softer more luxurious ride, and they give better range than the 22in wheels. It is a very good car for long road trips. After driving it, charging up is not as much of a burden as I thought … it would be. I highly recommend The Tesla Model X. 5 stars.

2020 Tesla Model X Long Range 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 05/20 (electric DD)
We have new 2020 Model X, after owning BMW's and Cadillac's in the past and can honestly say we love where the future is heading. The autonomous driving is a game changer. Wish Tesla would sell this tech so that roadways could be safer everywhere.
Biggest things to love:
- Acceleration
- Grounded - all weight underneath
- Free supercharging for life (roadtrip!?)
- All premium features … including towing are now included no extra cost
- Real world range holds up (even in the cold once battery thermalizes)
- Infotainment (watching Netflix/Hulu/Youtube while charging with luxury speaker surround)
- Constant updates and upgrades for no cost
- Most comfortable front seats I've ridden in on long drives
Opportunities
- DC outlet in vehicle
- Option 240V outlet (like the CyberTruck will have)
- Update to the Model 3 / Y faster charging battery tech
- Offer "Insane" upgrade to long range for a cost (unlock 30% more torque from same motors)
Once you drive electric, hard to go back

2019 Tesla Model X 100D 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 1/19 (electric DD)
The review is based on almost 1000 miles on this SUV. Without Tesla world would not have known how good an electric car technology can be. Instant acceleration that would leave a Ferrari in shock, smooth quiet ride, outstanding autopilot, unbreakable motor and elimination of annoying car salesmen are some of the finest features of owning a Tesla. Car never feels old due to continuous … over-the-air updates for software- just like iPhone. Range is impressive but suitable if your daily drive is less than 200 miles. Anything more and you would need some charging time. Interior is spartan, full of useful technology unlike many gadgety German cars. Rear doors are strange but kids love it. Supercharger network was fun to use and not busy at Barstow. 150 miles in 30 minutes, we got free overnight charge at hotel as well.
After being introduced to this new world of driving experience, no Audi, BMW or MB will feel that good again.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Tesla Model X, so we've included reviews for other years of the Model X since its last redesign.
