Tesla Model X – Problems & Build Quality
I discuss the problems that I have had with my Model X and how Tesla fixes them and prevents future problems. I also discuss the overall fit and finish of my early 90D Model X.

Who cares why Tesla is expensive?? When I pay 100k for a car, I don't buy it just for the fancy features. It should be all around a quality product. Your excuse for imperfection in this price range is mind boggling.
More evidence as to why TESLA is a TECHNOLOGY COMPANY….NOT A MANUFACTURING COMPANY
I just love subsidizing rich people…
Crap the quality is bad. I own an Audi. Never had a single issue. Panels are all aligned.
"Nerdy Engineer" is kinda redundant, isn't it?
Better because of vertical integration? How about having everything QAed and fixed before mass producing it?
Nice ?
You should give away a Tesla model XP 100 D . And a Tesla model X/model S charger
Where’s the innovation? All you are paying for is show.
The flawed logic of the consumer should not expect good quality and reliability from their $100k vehicle is absurd. Should supercar owners not presume their vehicles to accelerate faster than a Camry?
Most service centers including Ford or Chevy give loaner cars, and they can fix a car in a couple days not 4 weeks?
It’s still think its an ugly styled car
Who gives a spoiler back like that! Doesn't even close!!
"Like Ford and Chevy". Sorry dude, they both provide loaner cars for service visits that will take more than 24 hours. Typical Tesla fanboy that believes whatever crap they want to in order to think Tesla is somehow better.
Well you saying you're a mega fanboy already makes this video useless. No objectivity and I was proven right.
Well, you don’t need to post this cuz we already know it is as bad as you could get.
lol Tesla is a car for suckers and gullible douchebags.
Thanks Brett.
Doesn't matter, no excuses for a 100k car
Brett, thanks for your fair, good-sense, helpful video. Great info! Cheers,
"I am a Huge Tesla fanboy and love the company, and this and that, but……" Why? Just admit that Tesla has been around for a long while and can not make a decent defect free car and turn a profit. And they are EXPENSIVE!
The vertical integration spiel was just a roundabout way of saying you paid a boatload of cash to be Tesla's guinea pig.
"*List* of items?" Wow. no thanks.
God bless internal combustion engines.
Advertising for Tesla, are you his brother?
The key to happiness when buying a Tesla is to have low expectations. That way you're not going to be disappointed!
Yeah ford and Chevy don’t charge 90 grand for their cars so loaners aren’t expected.
Great overview of the experience dealing with Tesla service centers. The 800 pound gorilla in the room though surrounding this Musk mystique revolves around the authenticity of any CEO associated with that seemingly staged cgi "reusable" rocket video. As an engineer, aren't you suspect of that SpaceX returnable rocket and spaceman pr stunt. If Elon is spending all his time with cgi video products to create that hyped staged production, he is not spending time on real world car service and quality control. The name musk alone refers to a snake smell, so I question why Musk is not addressing quality straight on instead of slithering into Hollywood swamp to make artificial looking space special effect movies.
Why are Tesla cars expensive? I would not spend more than 20000 dollars for this car. It's just not worth it.
Jon Chow dropped his Model x and got a Nissan Altima for a loner bahaha! You were lucky
Ford and Chevy not giving you a loaner car? I hope you realize what you're paying for at Tesla lol
Tesla accelerates fast but it and electric supercars CAN'T STOP when you consider 60mph-0 is terrible at 125feet!!! A $20k Toyota Camry stops in 115feet. Gas supercars stop in high 90s ft. American engineered 2017 Corvette Stingray stops in 90ft! So, it takes Tesla 35 more feet than a Corvette to rear-end another car or run over someone?
By the same logic. If you buy a Tesla today, it'll be a lot worse than the one you get in 2 months.
TESLA = GARBAGE
Tesla drivers are Beta boys
First don't bash Ford or Chevy because based on the dealer you get loaners also. Not to mention with the price of a Model X you should be saying Benz, BMW or Cadillac. All of those brands do give loaners. It was just such an odd way to start out. All service centers do that exact same thing.
Second what do you think a recall is? When the company notices that dealers are replacing something or finding issues they issue one and repair it when you come in for any reason.
Finally while I admire Tesla also they are not years ahead of everyone else. They are willing to take risk that others will not. Benz and Cadillac have really nice pilot systems but they are not willing to risk as much quite so fast. So in conclusion what was the point of this video?
2 things, 0-60 in 2.9 secs, who cares really and are you ever going to trust "auto-pilot"? How many states are going to allow this. If I see a Tesla on the freeway, I'm going to give it a wide birth because I do not trust this auto pilot idea. Tesla's need their own roads. If I observe someone on the freeway with their hands off the steering wheel, I'm dialing 911!
I think that people would do well to buy an all electric vehicle from an established manufacturer such as Nissan or Chevy.
I like Teslas but damn they are junk. Every video that I have seen on the Model S or X the owners have had problem after problem. This is unacceptable for a car that costs over $100,000. MKBHD has one that loses power steering on turns. Also you have the right to be picky when you pay the money also the Falcon wing doors are a joke just something else to break.
My friends falcon doors were open accidentally as he drove into his garage. The doors broke off and they haven’t still gotten their car back. It’s been over three months!
“Buy a Tesla later, it will be better than the one bought now”….why should anyone buy a Tesla now then? You were literally a beta tester. No thanks, I’ll take a finished product
That is one ugly car.
100k for a car that ain't even built properly, just a joke.
There is a huge problem that can't be fixed in Tesla cars. PISTONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE!
