So I've had the Model X for about a month and
that time I put about 1,100 miles on it
ordinarily I would just call this video the
review but there's a lot of that hasn't
come to the car yet so I've got a car that comes
equipped with AutoPilot 2.0
hardware 2 and i was one of the first
thousand cars that got some of the
AutoPilot features but it's not even
close even at parity with the older
generation cards are producing 2014
AutoPilot 1 so i'm saving the review
gonna get all of that stuff and I can
show you what i have learned a lot about
the car how the Falcon Wing Doors have
performed and held up whether or not my white
seats already ruined because of jeans
and kids how the car is driven with that
I've had any issues so let me show you
what it's like to be in the Model X and
my experience with it
one month in
like most cars you can get a ton of
options on the Model X one of the big
ones that don't have is a premium
upgrade package and that's going to give
you almost like a valet mode for the
driver's door as you walk up to it and I
know you're there with the key fob in your
pocket and it will open up and present itself to
you but the doors are still pretty cool
the passenger and the driver is one
going to push the button it'll open up
and we'll go as far as it can it will sense
if there's another car they're not
open up into it and if i want to close
the door
I can close all doors using the
touchscreen and the drivers door if I just
put my foot on the brake it will automatically
close i also like them inside the car
open it up i have to just pull the
handle
I've got to push the door actually open
itself up i know it's that's really getting
to the extreme level of laziness and doing
this is too hard but it's kinda cool and
closes neatly to it will retract itself
back into the car with the big door I
think sort of the big reason people get
the Model X is for the Falcon Wing Doors
of the biggest issues people have had
with the cars earlier than numbers about
trim right here it's been misaligned
Falcon Wing Doors that have detected
obstacles that aren't there
I fortunately had no issues with the car
at all I'm VIN around 28,000 looks like
most the issues i haven't taken care of
one small thing that I do have is on the
passenger Falcon Wing Door you can hear
it will occasionally have a little creak
creek in one of the hinges but open up and show
so that's it a little bit of a creek but
that's about it I've had no issues and
surprising i haven't had the Falcon wing
doors hit anything I've got a really
tight garage and opens up very easily
around it I've parked next to a ton of cars
never hit anything it's also been really
good at detecting overhead I was nervous
about parking garages when you have you
big beams up ahead is detected all
of that for the best features for me to
be able to get kids in and out so I've
got carseats on either side I can get my son
in and out of the car without really ever having to
twist or turn to try to get a kid or a
dog into the back of a car you know how
hard that can be on your back was made
it super easy so the very first model x
video we did when i said i was getting
the white synthetic leather seats people
in the comments were renownedly like what
are you thinking you have kids
going to get ruined the seat in the back
or the kids are look absolutely
incredible obviously wear jeans quite a
bit and I have had some transfer of the
blue to the white one of the nice things
about the white is I was able to pick up some
generic leather wipes from amazon and
they got rid of the blue almost
completely wipe me so that's not what you
expect a grown man to say every day you
can see right here is a little bit of
the blue transfer from the pants but
nothing in the seat so you take a little
bit of a wipe it's just a generic leather
cleaner and a quick few quick swipes and
it's gone
these are made of a vegan material only
vegan leather it sounds like it's made
of made of vegans about Tesla claims
it's the most durable and easy to clean
out of all their interiors and I can
vouch for that so few quick little
swipes
and that blue transfer is totally gone
and it's been about two weeks since i
last did that so it's getting regular
maintenance to keep it white but i think if
i should remain kind of diligent it
should be looking almost brand-new for
however long I have the car
so the cars that are equipped with hardware
2 for AutoPilot the first thousand of them
1,000 randomly got some of the enhanced
AutoPilot features AutoPilot made up of
two things made of traffic aware cruise
control and the drivers assist
cruise control kind of control the car
vertically so in driving it will detect
the car in front of you and it will stop
and it'll speed up and control the speed
really easily with the stock down below
a hard time up goes five miles per hour
faster short tap will make it go up one
and you can control that for really almost any
speed that you want the other one though
is sort of the the big secret sauce for
Tesla and that i only have right now for
speeds around 35 miles an hour doesn't
always show all the time you'll know
that it's available right to the left of
the speed you're going you'll see a
little greyed out mile number and that will
be if you turn on cruise control is
available if you see the steering wheel
on the right side of that then you know
you have AutoPilot ready to go so I can
show you traffic aware cruise control go
ahead and turn it on
quick tap of the stock that turns it on
and all it will detect all the cars in front of me
it's been great the traffic so we're
coming up right now on a car and I can
see in the dash will show that there's a
car in front of me it will detect it
and right now the car is slowing down
but it's not controlling where I am in
the lane I have to control all of that
and of course it also will not
detect at least right now
red lights or stop signs and I can see
I've got a car in front of me and I can
see again I've got a car in front of the it
some of the cool stuff at the hardware
one cars can do with you would see car
to your left and your right in between
the lane markings i can see the lane
markings but I can't see yet cars on my
left or right perhaps when this gets
full-featured it will start to show
those cars what I do see a sort of
sensors that kind of come out it'll glow
red glow yellow and how close I am to
curbs or cars either side of me and also
will show me the speed limits as well as
traffic aware cruise control has been really good
Lane to lane keep Assist stuff i've only
had a few times
driving back from LA and I had on the
freeway that was really nice you get it
for about 30 seconds or so depending on
how fast you're going to get up to 35
miles an hour special tell you to put
your hands on the steering wheel
detect that you're still paying attention
but for the most part the car is driving
itself certainly you have to stay aware of
your surroundings and Tesla recommends
that you stay very diligent and keep
your hands on the wheel at all times but
you could in theory
take your hands right off and still be
good to go the drivers been really nice
it feels very smooth got the air
suspension so it's I don't know if any
bumps
I don't have a giant tires we've got to
20-inch tires on the car you can get a
blue 22 that will make for a much
harsher ride but it's way way way
smoother than most sportish SUVs
that I've had so i've got 75 kilowatt
hour battery pack 75 you got dual
motors there's one in the front and the
back when I charge up to eighty percent in the morning
generally my range is about 211 miles
and that's pretty accurate i was going
to drive on the freeway driving around
the city though it gets depleted about a
hundred and ten percent of what it says
so for every mile log looks like a 1.1
miles actually goes away so it's not
entirely accurate yet Tesla it does get
better the more you drive the car the
more accurate it will be now but i had
no range issues at all with the car
and I'm driven i believe close to 200
miles in one trip I still came back
with about 20 left showing in the range so
pretty good at least for my usage on the
range of course i need to charge Super Charger Stations
everywhere so right now you
can see what looks like a detecting the
curb to my left is starting to show
those sensors and for all the tech that's
in this car for all intensive purposes a
driving computer it drives like a car and
drives like a relatively quick car it's
not as fast as the 90D or the P100D
with Ludacris Insane mode but it's a
fast SUV it get out of its own way plenty
quick i can haul plenty of people
this last weekend for example i had my
wife my parents my two kids i had the
third row i was able to drive everybody
that was really nice
I was able to take sort of the whole crew
nothing i could do with previous cars
that i have had you couldn't tell i
