Hesitant Release of the Updated Tesla Model Y in China

China released the updated Model Y but did not decide to fully roll out the upgrade. The full upgrade wasn’t even as extensive as updates such as Project Highland for the Model 3 but why was the update so hesitantly released by Tesla and not even carried through? Some market insights and potential reasons with cross-references to what Tesla and Musk have said are below:

• Elon Musk as we covered in our last article has said that China is prepped to fully take over the Electric Vehicle market if they do not face regulation. This could be an indicator that Tesla do not want to roll out specific updates and risk not being able to sell excess stock if Chinese manufacturers undercut the Model Y in terms of price.
  
• Tesla had issues selling vehicles in other countries which led to the price slash that happened at the end of the quarter last year. This could also be leading to fears that investing in the manufacture of fully upgraded Model Ys in China could see these overstocked again.

If you are looking to sell your Tesla then look no further. At We Love Tesla, we are the leading independent buyer of Tesla vehicles in the UK. It’s a great time to think about buying a new Tesla, especially if you are looking to enjoy deals such as the 2.9% APR on New Tesla Model Ys. 

Last month we discussed that Project Highland has officially been launched for 2024 in the UK. The new and improved Tesla Model 3 has some interesting features announced which we discussed in our previous article. However, now that the dust has settled – some of the features UK motorists & car critics turned out to be not so excited about. 

This article takes a look at the features that people weren’t so happy about. We also take a look at why these features were considered and why they are being featured in UK vehicles. We’ve already seen some of these mentioned features in Teslas in Australia which has the same road system as the UK. Does this mean that new Tesla Model 3 owners are going to have to just adapt to the new changes or choose a different car? We take a look below.

If you are excited about the new Tesla Model 3 then why not prepare for the launch for an upgrade and get a guaranteed valuation for your current Tesla? We will offer you a guaranteed 48-hour valuation subject to the details provided is accurate and the vehicle is in the condition mentioned. Find out more by visiting We Love Tesla today!

Gear Shift Changes – Frustration for Motorists?

The gear shift changes have been completely moved on the new Tesla Model 3. Previous models featured the gear shift on the indicator stalk but you may be surprised to note that the indicator stalk has been removed in its entirety. The gear shift feature is now situated on the touchscreen as Tesla enthusiasts noticed in the updated images and promotional material for Project Highland that the indicator stalk had indeed been completely removed.

Positive Points for the Gear Shift Changes

There is no doubt that vehicles are becoming more modern and the features and functions of a new vehicle mean that you have to re-learn where a lot of the features in your car are now situated. Moving from an older Tesla to the new Model 3, many features are improved or the same so there are only a few additional features to deal with. Some highlighted that the indicator buttons whilst being confusing at first were on the left of the steering wheel – new owners would get used to this over time.

You are also able to opt for the backup system but this is on the roof.

Negative Gear Shift Feedback From Those Interested in Project Highland

Some overseas owners who already have driven the new Model 3 were less than impressed with the changes. They said that it’s a challenging system while at high speeds for such an important feature as shifting gears. Others mentioned that they even had to take their eyes off the road when switching to reverse or going forward.

What is the reason for these changes? People in support suggest moving towards a modern and integrated design whereas critics questioned whether this was a cost-cutting exercise to make the system cheaper to build and install on the new Model 3.

The Indicators Have Also Been Moved – Sparking Controversy

As we mentioned above, the movement of the indicator stalk means that any form of traditional indicator has been removed in the new Tesla Model 3. This was a key point that is not surprising to have sparked controversy. It’s going to take some getting used to and it’s such an integral part of the driving system/experience that it’s a very controversial feature to change. Similarly to the sentiments from both sides of the camp, new owners are going to have to get used to the system and people who were positive about the changes suggest this is part of the Tesla minimalist design. Whereas critics suggest that this is another cost-cutting exercise by the manufacturer.

Despite the changes if you are going to upgrade to the new Tesla Model 3 in 2024 then why not prepare for the launch for an upgrade and get a guaranteed valuation for your current Tesla? We will offer you a guaranteed 48-hour valuation subject to the details provided is accurate and the vehicle is in the condition mentioned. Find out more by visiting We Love Tesla today!

The long-awaited redesign of the Tesla Model 3 has been announced by Tesla. The redesign includes various upgrades for the saloon including exterior and interior changes and an increased charge range of up to 423 miles.

These are exciting developments for the Model 3 and will provide upgrades that many who are looking to start driving an electric vehicle will find enticing in terms of choosing Tesla as the manufacturer of choice. For those who are looking to drive a newer Tesla vehicle, this will also be great news as they may want to upgrade from their current Model 3 to a newer vehicle or from another vehicle into this new and modernised design for 2023 / 2024.

In this article, we discuss the new changes as well as how the rollout of new Model 3s may affect the entire Tesla market.

When Will the New Tesla Model 3 Be Available in the UK

The new Model 3 will be available in Europe next month but won’t be available in the UK until some time next year. The price isn’t expected to change and should be around the £42,000 mark in the UK when the new vehicles appear on the market. Depending on the specification, the performance model would be the maximum at just under £59,000.

Insights into What the New Model 3 Will Bring to the Market

The addition of a new Tesla vehicle in the market will naturally increase the number of Teslas that are available. The Model 3 is already the best-performing model in terms of sales worldwide for Tesla so it’s likely that the market will continue to increase with the number of new Teslas and therefore the number of used Teslas that will be available in both markets. 

Will the New Model 3 Change the Tesla Market?

It’s likely that it will take a year for the new Model 3 to make an impact on the current market but with Tesla manufacturing continuing to produce new vehicles, the number of used Teslas available is going to increase further. Should current owners of the Model 3 want to make an upgrade to a newer model, this will mean that they will sell their old model and add additional Model 3s to the market. 

Tesla’s Continued Innovation & Challenges

It’s not just the new Model 3 that is coming. The release of the Cybertruck, the Roadster 2.0 & the Tesla Model 2 (designed to be even cheaper than the current Model 3) are all approaching and this shows the ambitious plans of this manufacturer as we progress into 2024. Tesla has also caused ripples in the market by slashing prices throughout 2023, likely due to missing production and manufacturing targets. The infrastructure will also need to improve in the UK which is a government-related problem. It will be highly interesting to see how this ever-growing and changing market develops in 2024 and beyond.

Tesla’s recent global price cuts have sent shockwaves throughout the entire electric vehicle (EV) industry. Under the guidance of CEO Elon Musk, the company’s decision to lower prices on most of its models has not only impacted the new EV market, but also the used EV market. In this analysis, we’ll examine the ramifications of Tesla’s price cuts on both the used and new EV market, delve into the reasons behind the cost cuts, explore their short-term and long-term effects, and examine the reactions from competitors in the industry.

Tesla’s Global Price Cuts

Tesla’s global price cuts have been making headlines since they were announced in April 2021. The company has slashed prices on all of its models, ranging from the top selling Model 3, to the top-of-the-line Model S and Y Performance. The cuts range from around 5% to as much as 20% in the UK, depending on the model.

Tesla’s price cuts were part of a larger strategy to make the company’s electric automobiles more affordable and accessible to a wider range of customers. The company hopes that the this will help boost sales and give them a competitive edge in the increasingly crowded electric car market.

The official reason behind Tesla’s recent move however still remains “unclear” for many, as there are speculations that this may be due to increased competition from legacy automakers entering the market.

Thomas Hayes, Chairman and managing member at Great Hill Capital stated that “Competition is coming and they are responding with price cuts”

This has raised concerns among Tesla owners about the potential effect on pricing and the value of their vehicles.

• Impact on Used and New EV Market

The impact of Tesla’s price cuts on the used and new EV market has been significant. The price cuts have had an immediate effect on the new EV market, as customers have been quick to take advantage of the lower prices. In the used market, the effects have been more subtle, but still noticeable.

Tesla’s recent price reductions have created a challenge for used electric vehicle dealers as they find it hard to compete with the company’s lower prices. As per Reuters, this could result in a decline in demand for used electric vehicles and a decrease in their prices.

Tesla Price Cuts – What to Expect

It’s worth noting that the price cuts are not permanent, as the company has stated that it’s a short-term strategy implemented to increase sales in the short run. Therefore, the impact of these cuts on the used and new EV market may not be long-term.

It is also important to note that these figures are not universal. The company has only reduced the prices of certain models, leaving some models untouched. This means that the impact of the price cuts on the used and new EV market will be limited to those models that have seen a decrease in price.

• Will it cause an EV Price War?

According to CNBC, analysts believe that Tesla’s recent price cut indicate that the company is prioritising sales over profits and that it could lead to a price war in the electric cars market. The slowing demand of EVs has pushed Elon to make this drastic change, however, competitors in Europe and China are reportedly taking a clear shot by noting and may respond with their own price reductions.

Short-term and Long-term Impact of Tesla’s Price Cuts

The short-term impact of Tesla’s price cuts will mainly be felt in the new EV market. By making its vehicles more affordable and accessible, the company is hoping to boost sales in the short-term. This could lead to an increase in demand for new EVs, which would be a positive for the EV market.

In the long-term, the impact of Tesla’s price cuts will depend on the response of its competitors. If competitors are able to match Tesla’s price cuts, then the impact on the used and new EV market will be limited. However, if competitors are unable to match Tesla’s prices, then the long-term impact could be more significant.

How Competition is Responding to Tesla’s Price Cuts

The reaction of Tesla’s competitors to the company’s price cuts has been mixed. Some companies, such as Volkswagen and General Motors, have followed Tesla’s lead and have matched the company’s price cuts. This has helped to limit the impact of the price cuts on the used and new EV market.

Other companies, such as Nissan and BMW, have chosen not to match Tesla’s prices. This could lead to an increase in demand for their vehicles as customers look for alternatives to Tesla’s lower prices.

How The Used EV Market is Changing

While it is clear that this strategy has impacted the used EV market by making it more challenging for dealers to compete with the lowered prices. This has resulted in a decrease in demand and prices for used EVs. Despite this, the used EV market is still expanding, and dealers can still be successful by offering high-quality vehicles and exceptional customer service to differentiate themselves.

The stats at a glance that we have collected are as follows in terms of the depreciation or drop in the value of used Tesla Vehicles:

Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus	21% drop in value since the peak in June 2022
Tesla Model 3 Long Range	22% …..
Tesla Model 3 Performance	19% …..
Tesla Model S Long Range	16%……
Tesla Model X Performance	21%……

Tesla overall market evaluation:

In June 2022 the estimated lead time for a new Tesla Model 3 or Model Y was on average 6 months from the time of order.  In December 2022, the same cars have a lead time of just 3-6 weeks from the time of order.  Additionally, in June 2022 Tesla had zero Inventory cars available on their website in the UK, however, on 9th December 2022 –  300 vehicles across their range were available for immediate delivery. 

The microchip shortage levelling out as well as Tesla’s commitment to increasing production will have had an impact on the ability to meet lead times in terms of production. The electric vehicle sector of the automotive market is becoming more and more popular and this is likely to increase demand in both the used and new vehicle markets. The question is will this balance out prices or cause a further increase in production?

Our Insights as to Why Vehicle Values Have Changed

This will have coincided with the overall cost of living crisis and the increased production capacity now coming out of Giga Shanghai and Giga Berlin. Elon Musk set a very clear precedent in 2022 that there were to be no new Tesla vehicles released in any of the ranges with the manufacturer looking to ramp up new production most notably the Cybertruck in 2023. This meant that the manufacturer was set on meeting manufacturing and delivering targets – which Tesla still missed by 20,000 vehicles in the 4th quarter of 2022. 

Vehicle owner habits will also likely affect the popularity of Tesla vehicles. With the cold snap experienced in the UK at the beginning of December, there was media coverage of the seemingly unknown issues that can occur with charge distances in extreme weather conditions relating to the cold. It will be interesting to observe trends with purchasing and Tesla vehicle valuations moving into the first quarter of 2023.

Tesla Model Y Statistics in 2022

The Tesla Model Y has reached 2nd place in the UK for new car registrations in 2022 YTD, however, it is a similar story in terms of current valuations. Despite a rare period where many used Model Y’s were listed for sale over list price due to the extended waiting time on new and the demand for this eagerly awaited model, there are now many inventory cars available for immediate delivery with Tesla direct and a host of used cars to chose from. We have seen up to 15% price adjustment off the valuation of used Model Y’s despite the fact they have only just arrived in the UK in 2022.

2023 Potential Insights

Continuing to observe trends in the value of the Tesla Model Y may be key to being able to predict Tesla valuation trends in the first quarter of 2023 and beyond. With the overall shift of new vehicles being delivered in 2023 by Tesla and the recent debacles regarding Elon Musk’s priorities being shifted with his ownership of Twitter – it will be interesting to see if these factors affect vehicle pricing and valuations going into 2023.

How Can I Sell my Tesla?

There are many different ways to sell your Tesla. The most common way people sell their cars is through part exchange whilst buying a new car, however, these typically return the lowest price for the car. 

Another popular choice in recent years is a car buying service; these are companies that claim to ‘buy any car’ and offer quick valuations online. These can be good if you want a quick sale, due to relocation, for example. However, this method of selling your car also returns low prices. 

You can also sell your car privately through car selling websites, however, not only is it stressful, you can encounter many timewasters who are not actually interested in your car.

One method of selling your Tesla that can produce high resale prices is through a specialist Tesla buying website, such as We Love Tesla. These services understand the value of specific models and as such can offer valuations that are a true reflection of your car’s worth. We will look at all these methods in detail later.

Tesla Resale Values

As previously mentioned, Teslas have some of the slowest depreciation rates on the market today. This means that you will get a better return on the price you paid when compared to other car brands. The current depreciation rates for the Tesla models are laid out below

	Model X	Model S	Model 3	Model Y
1-year depreciation	18%	17%	10%	22%
3-year depreciation	33.9%	36.3%	10.2%	N/A

As you can see, Teslas can hold their value well. Note that the Model Y was released in 2020 and thus does not have a 3-year depreciation value.

Getting your Tesla Valued

What to Consider When Looking to Sell your Tesla

As with any other vehicle sale, the price you get for it depends on a number of different factors. Some apply to all cars, such as dents, scratches and issues with paintwork, however, there are some specific things you should consider when looking to sell your Tesla.

As Teslas are electric vehicles, you want to consider its battery life. Tesla vehicles have the best range of any electric vehicle so it is important for potential buyers that your car still has this great range. 

Another unique selling point of Teslas is the user interface within the car. It is important that you update the software regularly if you are looking to sell so that it is always up to date with the latest features.

If you have arranged a sale for your car, make sure you do a factory reset on your vehicle. This will remove any of your personal data which was stored in the car’s software. It could also be beneficial to have your Tesla serviced before you sell it, to check for any major issues that could significantly affect its value.

In essence, you will want to keep in mind:

• The condition of your battery.
• Suspension performance of your vehicle.
• The specifications of your Tesla

Is Now a Good Time to Sell?

The microchip shortage that affected the UK and Europe during 2020 & 2021 caused a large number of backlogs in terms of the production of brand new Tesla vehicles. There are still as of writing several months of waiting times up to even a year for some models in terms of ordering a new vehicle and receiving it. This has put the used market into a supply and demand situation in which you can benefit.

Simply put – you are able to receive a higher valuation than you would have previously due to this shortage. This means that it’s a great time to sell your Tesla. When production increases then this may balance out the inflated value of your used Tesla vehicle – so it’s a great time to consider the sale of your vehicle. Take advantage of the current situation of the market if you are looking to sell your Tesla vehicle.

Eco-Friendly Solutions for Motorists

Teslas are one of the world’s greenest car manufacturers and their vehicles are arguably some of the most eco-friendly if not the most eco-friendly vehicles on the market. This means that those who are looking to make the switch – they will be highly likely to be considering a Tesla. Due to long waiting times from order to delivery of a new Tesla – this naturally sends them to the used car market.

Fuel Costs & Additional Costs of Vehicles

The cost of living crisis has escalated and is set to get worse over the winter months. Fuel costs are a large consideration with motorists having to pay considerably more at the pump. Having an electric vehicle undoubtedly saves on fuel costs per year and for those that do not travel a huge amount – the charge distances will not deter them. Charge anxiety is decreasing as more and more electric vehicles boast further range per km per charge. This ensures that demand goes up for making the switch to electric and increases the value of your used Tesla.

Private Sales

We briefly discussed selling you Tesla through a private sale, so lets look at it in more detail now. There are many different private car listing websites where you can list your car for sale, which is very convenient if you are seriously considering a private sale.

However, you need to consider the time it will take to set up a great listing that will attract serious customers. It is vital that you take numerous photos of the car, from many different angles, and include photos of any damage. You also need to list the features of the car in full. This includes everything from tyre thread and how many previous owners it’s had, to the special features, such as autopilot.

Selling your Tesla privately can be very time-consuming and can also not lead to a sale, as more people opt to buy from dealers.

You also need to bear in mind that you are not protected when carrying out a private sell or purchase. If you happen to sell to an illegitimate or fraudulent person then you may be at risk! Using reputable established businesses such as We Love Tesla are vital in ensuring that you get a fair price for your vehicle. We will not leave with your vehicle until the money for your Tesla appears in your account.

Part Exchange & Car Buying Services

Part of exchanging your vehicle is the easiest way to transfer the price of your current car off of the price of the car you want; it is convenient. However, this will return the lowest price for your car.

Using a car buying service is another convenient way to sell your car quickly. You can have your car valued and given to the broker within an hour in some cases. However, these companies are not specialists when it comes to Tesla models, and as such will not appreciate the true value of your car.

Many car buying platforms provide an “estimated” value online where your car will be subject to a drawn-out auction process with no guarantee of an offer or commitment to buy.  Look out for this in the small print or your online offer will usually contain an *.

Statistically, the majority of cars fail to reach their estimated valuation meaning lost time in the selling process and the risk of valuations falling further should the market become under pressure.  

Selling your Tesla with We Love Tesla

As mentioned earlier, selling your car with a specialist Tesla buying service is the best way to ensure a fair price on your car. Here at We Love Tesla, we offer a complete Tesla buying service. 

Whether you have the Model X, Model S, Model 3 or Model Y, we have experience in buying all Tesla models.

Are you a Tesla Owner?

In 2020, The Prime Minister, Transport Secretary and Business Secretary announced the end of the sale of new fossil fuels cars and vans in the UK by 2030. The announcement is in accordance with the UK’s plan to end its contribution to climate change and become the fastest G7 country to decarbonise cars and vans.

There has been a surge in the volume of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold. In 2021, the volume of electric and plug-in hybrid cars sold increased by 76.3% 2020. And this trend is not slowing down. According to Glasgow Times, there were more than 420,000 pure-electric cars on UK roads and over 780,000 plug-in models as at February 2022.

If you are looking to ‘value my Tesla’ then look no further and use our highly competitive and market-leading Tesla Valuation Tool.

The Market & Environmental Responsibility for Motorists is Changing

With the proposed ban date on the sale of new fossil fuel cars and vans drawing ever closer on the horizon, the sales of electric vehicles like Tesla is forecasted to rise exponentially. The expanding consumer demand means you will get a juicy offer on your Tesla. I know it might sound odd selling your Tesla when people are switching to electric cars.

But look at it this way, selling your Tesla now means you always most-likely get a good deal. 

Because there is a hungry market for used Teslas since many people can’t afford a brand new Tesla coupled with the limits in the number of units produced.

That means you get more value…good money on your sale. And with Tesla improving its cars, you might get a newer model with greater range or more features. 

In some cases you might just add little amounts of money since you got a good deal on the sale of your current Tesla. Also, If your Tesla’s battery and performance has degraded, you might also want to consider selling to get another one whose performance is still on steroids. The odds are stacked in favour of sellers in the used electric car market right now. The next hurdle to cross is getting a highly competitive valuation from a trusted buyer such as We Love Tesla.

Why is Tesla opening up it’s charging Network to other EV manufacturers? We Love Tesla Investigates:

On the 18th of May, Tesla announced it was opening up its proprietary supercharger network immediately to non-Tesla EVs in the UK.

The supercharger network consists of a collection of superchargers designed for incredible fast charging-typically allowing you to recharge your electric car battery in less than 60 minutes. 

Tesla operates two types of superchargers in the UK-V2 units with 150KW and V3 units with a power output of 250KW.

The supercharger network is owned and operated by Tesla itself, while third parties are allowed to operate other charging networks. 

This announcement by Tesla gives users of non-Tesla electric vehicles (EVs) access to their supercharger network in the UK and in other countries like Belgium, Sweden, and Austria where Tesla’s supercharger network was opened up.

There’s been previous successful trials in the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Norway before this announcement.

Tesla has over 650 chargers and 98 charging sites in the UK, but only 15 stations with 158 individual superchargers took part in the pilot opening up in the UK. That’s 25% of the total capacity.

The sites are;

• Aviemore

• Adderstone

• Aberystwyth

• Banbury

• Birmingham St Andrews

• Cardiff

• Dundee

• Flint Mountain

• Folkestone  Eurotunnel

• Grays

• Manchester Trafford Centre

• Wokingham

• Thetford

• Trumpington

• UXbridge

Tesla drivers will continue to access these stations like before with the brand monitoring congestion and customer experiences.

And Non-Tesla drivers too can now access it. They’ll need to have the Tesla app on their smartphone to access the superchargers. After downloading the app, they create a Tesla account and select “Charge Your Non-Tesla”, then find a supercharger site. 

They then add a payment method, plug-in their car, select a stall and tap “Start Charging”. When they’re done, they select “Stop Charging” to end the charging session.

The charging prices vary with location, but non-Tesla owners will pay more than Tesla owners.

Non-Tesla owners can access at an average price of £0.60 per KWh. And there’s also an option to pay a £10.99 membership fee to access lower charging prices of around £0.50 per KWh.

In contrast, Tesla owners pay an average of £0.26 per KWh .

The supercharging network is for non-Tesla EVs compatible with Supercharger Type 2 CCS connector. Even if the supercharger has two cables, non-Tesla owners can only use the CCS connector. 

Why is Tesla Opening Up It Supercharging Network To Non-Tesla Owners 

According to Tesla, it’s opening up its supercharger network to non-Tesla owners to accelerate the transitioning of the world to sustainable energy.

Because they believe providing access to an extensive, convenient, and reliable fast-charging network will encourage more people to adopt EVs on a large-scale.

And getting more customers to use their supercharger network in this pilot opening will help them learn and iterate quickly, so they can eventually open their supercharging network to all EVs worldwide. 

When first released, the Tesla Model X was Tesla’s addition to the all-electric SUV marketplace. Having become a household name in terms of all-electric vehicles – it was no surprise that Tesla also wanted to branch out into the SUV side of the market. Although the vehicle was designed to be in the SUV classification – you will find that this vehicle is essentially an upgrade to the Model S to increase capacity. This is designed to ensure that the practical aspects of the vehicle are retained as well as remain in synch with the stylisation and aesthetic that has become synonymous with the Tesla Brand.

The Tesla Model X is unique in the fact that it beats nearly all of the other competitors and is a highly advanced addition to this part of the market. There’s a load of action-packed features with this vehicle and with plenty of space available – this is a fantastic choice if you are looking for an electric vehicle with increased capacity without having to sacrifice style and practicality.

Updated to Be Highly Practical & Stylish

There’s no doubt that the Model X is a highly practical vehicle and can be seen largely as a crossover vehicle combining many of the features that the previous vehicles had to offer. The range was upgraded in early 2021, with the Performance Trim being replaced with the new 1,006bh ‘Plaid’ model. There was also a small but innovative makeover for the exterior featuring slight redesigns of the front bumper and diffuser. 

Exceptional Performance Whilst on the Road

The Tesla Model X is exceptionally powerful with the car’s ability in terms of acceleration being the star of the show. The instant torque from electric motors and all-wheel-drive traction provides exceptional acceleration. The fastest version in the range (the Plaid) will perform 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds which beats some combustion engine supercars in terms of acceleration which is an amazing feat. At higher speeds, this levels out and makes the vehicle feel more like other SUVs in its category which makes the vehicle feel like a regular SUV that packs a bigger punch. 

Range Distances & Comfort When Driving 

One of the most important factors that potential buyers of electric vehicles tend to look for is the range before needing to recharge the vehicle. The Model X also holds up in this regard – with a highly impressive battery system and the Plaid (Tesla claims) offers 333 miles per charge. The infrastructure of the Tesla Supercharger Network is increasing and is getting better and better. Home charging systems are also available which aren’t as fast as the Supercharger but will still cater to your needs at home.

With the choice of five and seven seats – you’ll find that the Model X is also slightly more compact than other SUVs in the market. The battery allows for additional space that would have been taken up by a hefty combustion engine – making the Model X a very practical family vehicle. It’s easy to access the vehicle and you can enjoy a total of around 2,367L of storage capacity if you use the boot as well as folded rear seats. For towing – software is installed as standard that can monitor swaying and can apply braking to keep your car and trailer even. The limit is set at 2,280kg or 1,588kg if you opt for the 22-inch wheels.

Conclusion

The Model X is a great choice should you be looking to purchase an SUV all-electric vehicle. It’s highly impressive that the Tesla Model X beats other SUVs and even some supercars in terms of acceleration whilst maintaining performance and comfort on the road.
