Tesla Model X I (2015 – 2021)

Reliability score : 7.2/10

The Tesla Model X (Generation I) is a large 100% electric luxury SUV, famous for its "Falcon Wing" rear doors and panoramic windshield. Important note regarding your request: the Tesla Model X is exclusively electric (BEV). It has never been produced with a gasoline, diesel, or hybrid engine. A pioneer in its segment, it offers supercar performance, modular interior space (5, 6, or 7 seats), and access to the Supercharger network. Production of this first generation lasted until the major "Palladium" facelift (late 2021). The model underwent a crucial technical evolution in 2019 with the "Raven" update (new motors, adaptive suspension). While the onboard technology is exceptional, the early production years (2016-2018) were marred by teething problems (doors, electronics, finish).

✅ Strengths

⚠️ Weaknesses

🎯 Verdict

The first-generation Tesla Model X is a spectacular but complex vehicle. Avoid the 2016-2017 models (90D/P90D) which accumulate teething problems (capricious Falcon doors, failing MCU1, battery degradation). Favor a late 2018 100D model (with factory MCU2) or ideally a "Raven" version (Long Range 2019-2021), which is significantly more refined in terms of suspension and efficiency. The purchase must absolutely be accompanied by a meticulous check of the front half-shafts and the operation of the rear doors. A clear maintenance history (or replacements already performed under warranty) is crucial.
