Thinking of buying the 2018 Tesla Model X?
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2018 Tesla Model X before you buy one elsewhere. The 2018 Tesla Model X for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Model X
NHTSA lists 9 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
The electric motor is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. 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.
At 23.7 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 71 kWh. Rated range: 475 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. Expect about $3.56 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Model X
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Inside and out
As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Model X answers the big questions. Rent the Model X first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $3.56 in electricity. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ask us
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
