The first-generation Tesla Model X received a major facelift in 2021 (often referred to as the "Palladium" project). Important warning: Although the request targets a "petrol" engine, the Tesla Model X is an exclusively 100% electric vehicle (BEV). It has never been produced with a combustion engine (neither petrol, nor diesel, nor hybrid). This sheet therefore covers all the actual electric powertrains of the model.

The facelifted Tesla Model X (2021+) remains a UFO in the automotive market. Its performance, efficiency, and software ecosystem are unmatched. However, it suffers from excessive complexity (Falcon doors) and chronic weaknesses in its running gear (half-shafts) that tarnish its long-term reliability record. Buying advice: Favor a model under manufacturer warranty (or with an extended warranty). Avoid models that have been lowered or modified, as this accelerates half-shaft wear. Versions produced from late 2022 onwards (Ryzen processor, better assembly quality) are preferable, although you must accept the absence of ultrasonic parking sensors.
