Model X — Known Issues by Year (2020–2024)

Tesla's SUV — falcon-wing doors are the signature feature and the top service item. The 2021 refresh paralleled the Model S.

2020 Raven, pre-refresh OK

Better than earlier years but still a complex car to maintain. Budget for door and suspension service.

2021 Refresh + Plaid OK

Best Model X yet, but pricey and complex. Worth it if you need the falcon doors and space.

2022 Refresh continues OK

Same capable refresh with marginally better supply — keep up with door maintenance.

2023 Round wheel; HW4 OK

Good if you want HW4 and the round wheel — accept the higher upkeep and price.

Full failures, repairs & fixes →

2024 HW4 standard OK

Newest Model X with HW4. Buy only if you specifically need it — it's the priciest to run.
