Tesla just reduced the price of the Tesla Model X significantly, and it has a lot of people asking themselves if they should pull the trigger. This most recent price reduction means that the Model X now qualifies for the EV Tax Credit of up to $7,500.

Tesla lowered the price of the Long Range Model X to $79,990, making it $10 under the cap for the EV tax credit of up to $7,500. In addition, Tesla also made all paint colors included in the price. So, as long as you order the basic configuration, with any paint color, you will be purchasing a car that is eligible for the full tax credit.

This effectively makes the Model X $72,490 after tax credit. At this significantly lower price than previously possible, there are a lot of things to consider. First, the car can only be ordered in the 5 seat configuration. You cannot order the Model X in 6 or 7 seat configuration, nor can you retrofit a third row in a Model X. So make sure you can get by with the standard 5 seat setup.

The next thing you are probably thinking about is if it is worth upgrading from the Model Y to the Model X. The Model X is faster, tows more, has more storage, has more space for passengers, charges faster, has a bigger screen, almost twice as many speakers, second screen in the back for streaming while driving, air suspension, cooled front seats, and on and on. The list of added features and capabilities is long. The price difference between the Model Y and Model X is now down to $29,500 when comparing the Model Y LR AWD.

Those added features are really nice, but they also come with some baggage. For instance, the Falcon Wing Doors on the rear of the Model X are iconic, and complicated. These doors use to be the weak point in the Model X and plagued with issues. Although they are better today than they used to be, they are still a complicated door and are prone to issues.

Like all other HW4 vehicles, some of the driver assistance features are not active. Further, the removal of a number of ultrasonic sensors has made other features of the Model X not properly function, including the automatic doors on the front of the car. The front 2 doors cannot open all the way automatically because the vision only system cannot determine how far away obstacles are yet. This means there is a lot of resistance when opening the doors.

Other features not working properly are the inability to toggle information on the heads up display in front of the steering wheel. You also cannot see much of the efficiency data that is easily displayed on the Model Y and Model 3. Another thing that is an issue is that you cannot split music and streaming. So you can either listen to a movie on the back screen or the radio, but not both.

In the end, it's a bigger, more comfortable, faster, better charging smoother riding SUV. It does come at a larger price tag, and will come with more issues in reliability, but can offer an amazing driving experience. It will be hard to overcome the value and reliability of the Model Y, so if you can afford it, it may be worth seriously considering to enjoy the various features exclusive to the Model X.
