The 2019 Tesla Model X is no longer the only all-electric SUV you can buy this year. It’s swift, pleasant to travel in, and relatively practical, save for its somewhat silly doors.
Pros Doors with more flair than some supercars Performance and handling Smooth, quiet ride Quick, clear 17-inch touchscreen
Cons Looks like a bulbous Model S Rear doors are a gimmick Disappointing interior space Prices go well past $140,000
The 2019 Tesla Model X SUV comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 1-speed direct drive.Revised trim-level lineup with greater range capability New Full Self-Driving Capability feature adds extra skills to Autopilot
PROS Instant and powerful acceleration Electric range is impressive Three-row seating is available No engine noise makes for a quiet cabin
CONS Finicky upward-swinging rear doors impede functionality More squeaks and rattles than other high-end luxury SUVs Rough, choppy ride with larger wheels Vast windshield lets far too much sun and heat into the cabin
The 2019 Tesla Model X might be the greenest—and one of the fastest—way to tote up to seven people over hill and dale. As the crossover cousin to the brand's iconic Model S sedan, the X is actually practical, with all-wheel drive, a high-tech cabin with room for up to seven, and striking but fussy Falcon Wing doors.

Pros Quick and agile Spacious, comfortable seats Good cargo capacity
Cons No physical controls for vehicle functions Poor cabin assembly quality Apple CarPlay and Android Auto not available
Introduced, and then discontinued, Standard Range version.Seven-seat configuration now available.
Pros Plenty of range Stunning acceleration, especially from the Performance model Convenient Supercharger network for long-distance driving Roomy seating front and rear
Cons No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration Performance model's overly stiff ride Optional third row of seats is barely usable
Other than the introduction of an optional pair of pop-up third-row jump seats, we aren't forecasting any major design or technology upgrades for the Model Y this year.
Pros Peppy electric powertrain, spacious cargo hold, cutting-edge technology features.
Cons Chassis isn't as taut as the four-door Model 3, fit-and-finish needs polish, too reliant on the touchscreen for simple vehicle settings.
