Using the latest technology, great performance, and being family oriented, the 2024 Tesla Model X is still the standard electric SUV. Of all the electric cars that are designed to be family cars that don’t require significant lifestyle changes, the Model X is the most well-known for its falcon-wing doors and long range. In this post though I wanted to focus on why the 2024 Tesla Model X is such an excellent car for an Australian family in terms of performance, technology, safety and value for money.
Performance and Efficiency
The driving experience that you’ll get in the 2024 Tesla Model X is something of a completely new level. The Model X’s dual motor all wheel drive, electric powertrain is where the fun begins: You can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, but that’s just the acceleration. The boring bit. The Long Range variant has a range of up to 560km making it suitable for Short Range Trips to Work and Long Range AUS Journeys of more than 1000km. You can charge easily with access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network with rapid charging speeds to get you out on the road shortly.

Safety First
The 2024 Model X is not an exception when it comes to the safety features that Tesla has always put into their automobiles. The Tesla’s Autopilot is installed in the SUV and therefore, it can handle tasks that include adaptive cruise control, automatic lane keeping as well as emergency braking. The Model X also offers 360-degree cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and radar system that when combined provide the driver with the best view of the surrounding, thus making it one of the safest family cars on the market.

It’s a large vehicle that is very luxurious and has a modern look and feel with high quality materials that are expertly crafted with a very simple design that I think really captures the essence of what Tesla is all about and that is changing the dynamics of the automobile market. Why the falcon wing doors look so striking is not just because it looks good, it is also simple to open the second and third rows. The Model X has more room than one could ever require for family trips, sporting gear, purchases from the internet, or anything else with 2,577liters of cargo space with the seats down.
