Thinking of buying the 2018 Tesla Model X?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Tesla Model X for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 2018 Tesla Model X for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 193 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and electrical system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

The powertrain here is the electric motor with all-wheel drive and a 1-speed automatic. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

It uses 23.7 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 71 kWh of charge. The EPA rates its range at 475 km. Winter cold and fast highway driving cut that down. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $10.68 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Model X makes sense

It suits city driving and anyone with charging at home or work. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Size and space

As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Model X answers the big questions. A test week in the Model X tells you more than any review. If the Model X is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Which one to look for

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $3.56 in electricity. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $35.60 at our price setting.

Rent it for a week before you buy
