Tesla is considered the cream of the crop when it comes to electric vehicles.
With its futuristic electric driving technology, seat-gripping acceleration, and innovation, Tesla is the king of EVs.
Another reason for Tesla’s supremacy was the arrival of the Model X in 2016.

In 2023, the Model X will keep most of its old styling but incorporates a few new features.
Interior upgrades are the most noticeable, whereas exterior upgrades are more subtle.
According toTesla’swebsite, the Model X can be equipped with an enhanced autopilot for an extra $6,000.

Features include:
Full self-driving capabilitycan also be added for $15,000.
Autosteer has been a long-awaited feature for Tesla owners.
Despite not being available now, its website states the feature is coming soon.
A 33 kWh per 100 miles consumption is less efficient than its competitors, according to the EPA.
Furthermore, the Plaid trim is on another planet in terms of acceleration.
Its tri-motor and all-wheel drivetrain produce 1,020 horsepower.
To put that into perspective, the Model X Plaid goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
That’s faster than a Formula 1 car and the Bugatti Veyron.
However, Tesla’s are excellent towing vehicles, thanks to their incredible torque.
The Plaid trim can easily tow 5,000 pounds with plenty of torque to spare.
Interior and Comfort
Interior changes are most prevalent in the 2023 Model X.
The biggest difference is the steering wheel, which has been upgraded to a steering yoke.
The yoke is seamless and futuristic, with haptic feedback.
Despite this, having buttons on the yoke for all controls makes normal driving more challenging.
For example, normal column signals make it easy to indicate lane changes and use windshield wipers.
Tesla claims its center touchscreen is the biggest on the market.
It features a stunning graphics display and navigation system provided by Google.
It also receives regular updates over the air, keeping its systems and software current.
Those with Tesla’s data plan or Wi-Fi access can view YouTube and Netflix when the vehicle is parked.
The Model X has plenty of interior space, a well-insulated cabin, and a wide windshield.
The combination of all these elements ensures a comfortable ride with a scenic view for all passengers.
It also provides nearly nine inches of ground clearance if desired.
Now let’s look at the most jaw-dropping feature of the Model X: its falcon-wing doors.
The driver-side door has its own eyebrow-raising feature, as it can be opened and closed automatically.
Cargo space is abundant in the new Model X.
With only the driver and front passenger, it has 88.2 cubic feet of volume.
Behind the third row has 15 cubic ft.
Is the 2023 Model X Worth It?
It definitely has its purpose within the EV space and does it well.
