I’ve been LOOKING for a video on this topic thank you

Aaah great content! Finally a source highlighting all the differences since 2016! Thank you!

VERY DETAILED AND EDUCATED! Thank you for this

Clear, packed with relevant facts and delivered in a punchy, entertaining style. Thank you!

Underrated channel.....absolutely enjoyed the video!

Thank you for very good information. I am now looking to buy an Model X and I was wondering on what improvements have been done. Great job in gathering this information and presentation 👍

It's so smart to keep the models simpler. Production simplicity.

Great video! Picking up my 2020 Model X on May 21st! Super excited!

This video was absolutely phenominal. Thank you for taking the time to make this cintent for free. Thumbs up and a comment for the YT algorythms!!

a lot of good information, thank you.

Very clear and concise. Love your videos.

Great informative clear content

Really fantastic content. Subscribed.

I needed this bc I'm trying to decide if I want a new or "old" x

Bro that was a absolutely perfect video...... fact after fact after fact if only the news outlets of the world did that too 👍👍👍👍

Awesome video, thanks!

Very good job ! thanks

This channel needs more recognition

Thank you for your review 🙏👍💯🦾very helpful

Good and detailed presentation. Thanks.

Great content, Johnathan

I am TRULY TRULT TRULY grateful to have found this video I really couldn’t decide between a 2020 MX or 2023 Y. This helps me side toward a used MX.

Seems like they are making improvements and then reducing costs by reducing options.

The fact that he actually tries to improve quality and decrease costs is why I admire him and his brands

Hope to see this same concept in future vids

I remember in 2016 (i think 2016) itwas on show in one of the local malls in Jordan, the backdoors were just closing and opening and the lights were flashing in different patterns everytime, most people that pass would stop to look at it, or keep staring at it while walking away, you don’t see much exotic cars over here, so it was expected

This video is actually really relevant to everyone considering buyuing used model X now after refresh. I believe you made me not to consider swapping from M3 to old MX.

Best video ever . Great job.

Great video!

Extremely Informative Presentation Thank you I will purchase Model X

Truly excellent summary of differences in the 2020 model!

*nice content! , can you please compare old model S to new model S? differences between horsepower, 0 to 60 and more*

Great video, thanks 👍

Love the Falcon doors. Wish my CRV had them.

This is missing a few things: First, the interior options changed. You can no longer get that white interior with the figured ash as pictured in the video - back then you could order the interior piecemeal. In 2016 the Model X had vented (cooling) front seats as an option, which I don’t think any Tesla currently has. You could order a charger upgrade for 72amp charging, which I don’t believe is an option anymore.

Great video.

very informative

great comparison

Saved me an hour of unsure research 🙏 please do the model s too please

Great video! We have a 2016 X. It’s not performance but we got the moveable spoiler that the performance models have! We just passed 88,000 miles and are seriously considering upgrading to the 2020 model. We bought the extended warranty and haven’t needed it yet. (12,000 miles left with fingers crossed)!!

We have an X60D from 2016. Just wonder what options you have included in the 2016 prices? We didn't include ultra hifi and premium on ours. * ultra hifi (~$2500) * premium package (~$2500) * 6-seats (~$2500) * autopilot (AP1) (~$2000) * UW interior (~$2000) * air suspension (~$2000) * tow package (~$600) * cold weather package (~$600) * solid black/white paint included Free unlimited supercharging that follows the car.

Excellent. Helpful in buying a used tesla.

8:42 If you purchased FSD in 2016 you had the Nvidia hardware 2.0 board (the Autopilot 1.0 board was not FSD capable). All Tesla's that have purchased FSD are eligible for a free upgrade to hardware 3.0 processors, you just have to put in a service request through the Tesla app. Select service, Upgrades & Accessories, Full Self-Driving Computer. After installation your car will have all of the FSD capabilities of the newer vehicles. Tesla also has a purchasable upgrade for the MCU 1.0 system to the new MCU 2.0 system that would give all of the new infotainment options. And as you and some other posters have pointed out Camp Mode, Messaging, Voice Commands, Dog Mode, Sentry Mode are all available on the older cars via the regular software updates.

Great comparison at a high level. The small stuff not mentioned as well has greatly improve the X. Our early 2016 X 90D was a piece of crap with issues; seals replaced multiple times, delivered with squeaky seats, literally loose seats that moved/rocked, panel gaps, gaps that required them to disassemble and reassemble the back lift hatch so it could close without issue, vibration issues with acceleration, MCU that failed 2 times, etc. Left a bad "taste" for us and Tesla at this point...

You failed to mention the biggest changes. For me it was the luxury feel on the inside is gone; no Alcantara insert on the dashboard, loss or the piano black back of the seat cheaper looking switches, loss of the monopost and moving the middle raw without folding i.e. no need to remove car seats to gain access to the back ones.

Thanks!

i dream of the day they finally come down in price cuz i really want one, but being a paraplegic, getting a vehicle converted is already really expensive and i dont know if its even possible for me to remain in my chair and be driving without getting out of it and into the drivers seat cuz i had heard the battery is under the car and i dont know if the floor would have to be lowered or not

I did not hear you mention „Joe Mode“

Glad to see upgrades on "x". I had heard conversation that the "x" may be discontinued.

I heard the cameras changed to true color cameras with Version 2.5. But Version 2 model cameras somehow recognize the stop and go light colors after upgrading computer to 3.0 w/ FSD.

i think you forgot about the 2020 front seats looking more like the model 3 seats

Please also show metric units!

Love the video, been drooling for a model x since 2018, it is not available where I live. Hope they release it in my country within couple years. I think it needs more premium in the interior and features like the GLS and bmw x7, and get rid of the falcon wing doors. It's on my next car list when I need a new car if it releases in my country.

10:51 dog mode, voice commands, messaging, camp mode is available in 2016 versions

I noticed the sensor improvements from test driving for a day.& no panel gaps on any of the 2020 Xs at the Tesla center. However I'm wondering if it's just me or are the seats so uncomfortable? The regenerative braking seemed significantly different too. (Not in a good way to me. )

1 question. The sensor update on the falcon doors , did they change that in the 2020 only? Or every model after 2016

I’m waiting for them to update the interior with usb c and other upgrades.

I like how you said improved, not changed

does anyone know if they fixed the issues with the falcon wing doors? like the rubbing, etc ...?

Brilliant!

I’ve ordered the X with the yoke ✌️😃 (FSD)

Same video on Model S too please!!

we love your show & love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both

Good video. Will watch your other video too.

Should’ve mentioned the one model that had ventilated seats. Sucks the new ones don’t have it, especially if you live somewhere like FL where heated seats are practically useless.

well done...

A few errors. Spotify, dog mode, voice command, messaging, Tesla arcade but limited games and camp mode is available for the 2016 model X.

this video makes me want the X instead of the Y. only two questions/wants #1 build quality better? #2 when will the X go over 400 miles in range? if these two questions answered then very hard look at looking at X vs. Y (7 seater)

thanks.

model x is my dreamcar

0-60 improved for P90D with a software upgrade that heats the battery.

Good overview. Thanks. I miss information about the "next gen" seats, and how they differ from previous Tesla models. The new headrests can't be adjusted or removed, which is a major PITA when using IsoFix child seats. The Model X looks like a great car... but why on Earth did Tesla design a "family car" that is so openly hostile/dysfunctional with child seats? Bonkers!

Any upgrade on supercharger for model x?

Thanks for the video, it is really insightful. can you please make a video comparing the uber (ATG) with tesla and waymo technology, it would be really nice.

But does it levitate over traffic or flood?

I hope the coming refresh brings the model Y 48v 100m wiring harness.

There was also a Model X 100D. Nice Vid though.

Looks like the new ones are the way to go.

I was waiting for fit and finish, reliability, etc. Have they fixed those issues?

Where was that drone shot taken at 1:55?

Whats the point in locking part of the battery

It’s been a while since I looked at the Model X; did they add the one-pedal-driving feature (take your foot off the gas and if comes to a complete stop) to the Model X and S, or was that only Model 3 and Y?

What about the seats didn’t they have a cooling one before

Its crazy how suv can perform almost close as bugatti chiren, veyron

great video as I have a 16 model X - October. One thing to note is that they discontinued "Free Supercharging" since 10/16

Can you clarify or confirm if it is possible to get dog or camp mode on a 2016?

They should have a option in all the software updates when you see the updates in each pre-views, That let's you have the choice to have the media and play stuff or NOT to have them just have the better car features and security & range etc.? So that way people who like me have zero interest in silly games and car singing thing etc. Can choose to have the basic car improvements and not the daft media or games etc. Downloaded. Then that gives the car owner real choice since the cars still are damn pricey you should have choices over what updates you get.

Rip active spoiler. It was cool but it broke easily and they spent too much time fixing them under warranty.

As someone on the list for a Cybertruck this raises the question: Do I want one as soon as they ship in 2022 or 23? Or do I want to wait? The hint here is your video is March 2020, and the most recent upgrade is 2019, which I'm guessing might mean Tesla is where it needs to be for self-driving. Hopefully, paying the extra, in 2023, for the self-driving feature might mean that I'll have a 'point and nap' vehicle (whenever that finally arrives). ( I dream of long trips with California's I-5 being just a long nap or a couple of movies. Instead of loading up the car and leaving at 4am, why not leave at 9 pm and wake up in Oregon or Shasta?) My son says, 'don't hold your breath.'

I want a tesla now

I’m guessing not but, is there anyway to upgrade mcu 1 to mcu 2? Obviously at a cost

Damn I love the Tesla! I just wish I had the money!

my 2016 P90DL was $160,000.

I guess the wing doors were a terrible idea

Instant Kill Mode please!

Tesla Model X is the only minivan car I would love to have and drive❣️👌😦

The longer you wait, the cheaper it gets. Control the budget baby!!

where is that road and place at 0:50?
