2021 Tesla Model X specifications

Tesla Model X 2021 from the outside

There is a huge pane of curved glass that serves as the windshield and a panoramic roof. It makes the cabin look really open, also the roof protects against UV and infrared rays.

The Tesla Model X features a front grille, a top windshield that integrates with the panoramic glass sunroof, and hawk-wing rear doors. This time around, there are cleaner lines on the bodywork that are complemented by the de-chrome accents.

 

All Tesla cars look the same. Its exterior design is somewhat derived from the Tesla Model S, which is pretty obvious. Only, the Model X has larger proportions all around, even when compared to conventional SUVs in its class.

The Tesla Model X is packed with standard features, including a 17-inch touch screen, digital gauge cluster, navigation, Bluetooth, two USB ports, 17-speaker stereo, HD radio, satellite radio, a smartphone charging pad, and a hotspot Wi-Fi.

 

Tesla provides free software updates over the Internet for its vehicles to improve and add new features regularly. This can include updates to the vehicle’s operating systems and infotainment systems. Software updates can also change horsepower, driving range, and safety features. You can also purchase some security features and performance upgrades via OTA updates at any time.

 

The huge touch screen dominates the middle of the dashboard. It is easy to use and the screen reacts quickly to inputs. It should be noted that the system does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to integrate your smartphone.

The first and second row seats are comfortable and supportive. There is enough room for the most part, although the second row accommodations aren’t very generous. Front visibility is also excellent, in part due to the large panoramic windshield. Synthetic leather upholstery and heated seats come standard on all grades.

 

The cabin features a stylish interior with clean lines and high-quality materials such as soft-touch plastic, faux leather and metallic trim. The overall look is modern and upscale, but the cabin is riddled with some fit and finish issues. Critics note the asymmetric gaps between the interior panels.

 

One of the highlights is its falcon-wing rear doors, which electronically swing upwards instead of a traditional door. This setup makes it easy to reach the back seat in tight parking spaces. The downside is that these doors can’t open fully in garages with low ceilings, and they also preclude the use of a roof rack.
