Why You Should Choose the Tesla Model X 5-seater: The Marques Brownlee Effect

04/29/2024 / Gail Alfar

Recently, on X, a discussion arose around a video by renowned YouTuber Marques Brownlee. In the video, Brownlee called the Tesla Model X as a "$90,000" car. X users quickly pointed out that the Model X costs much less.

Brownlee acknowledged the conversation and responded, stating, "6-seat Model X is $6,500 more expensive than base. You would think X would catch this too lol."

In light of this, I call this the Marques Brownlee Effect. Why? Because it drew a lot of attention, mostly positive, to the surprisingly low price of the Tesla Model X five-seater  which today sells for around $68,590. 

The Model X is the future at our fingertips, offering unparalleled performance, cutting-edge technology, and a driving experience like no other. It may be the next car you should consider! The five-seater version allows you to benefit from the $7,500 federal point-of-sale rebate, while the six-seater does not qualify at this time. Consequently, the six-seater retails for $88,130.

Model X: A Class of Its Own

The Model X is impressive, with its unique falcon-wing doors. It boasts the largest panoramic windshield among all the Teslas I have test-driven (disclaimer: I have yet to test drive the Cybertruck). As a luxury SUV, the spacious interior is ideally suited for families and individuals alike. The five-seater version offers ample room for passengers and cargo, making it a versatile choice for any lifestyle.

Unmatched Performance and Range Powered By Dual Electric Motors

The five-seater Model X delivers exceptional performance, with lightning-fast acceleration and a smooth, responsive ride. The five-seater version offers the same incredible power and handling as its larger counterparts. With a range of up to 335 miles on a single charge, the Model X ensures that you can enjoy your journey without worrying about range anxiety.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Safety

Tesla is renowned for its cutting-edge technology, and the Model X is no exception. The five-seater version comes equipped with a 17-inch touchscreen display, a premium sound system, and advanced safety features such as Autopilot, which is free with every Model X. Autopilot enables the vehicle to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically under certain conditions. When Tesla pulled the data, they found out that using Autopilot in a Tesla vehicle significantly reduced the chances of an automobile crash.

Tesla Autopilot Is 10x Safer Than Human Pilot

Here are some facts:

  • In Q4 2023, Tesla recorded one crash per ~5.4 million miles driven where drivers were using Autopilot.

  • For Tesla drivers who were not using Autopilot, Tesla recorded 1 crash per ~1 million miles.

  • By comparison, data available from NHTSA and FHWA (from 2023) shows that in the USA, there was a car crash approximately every 500,000 miles.

The $7,500 Federal Point of Sale Rebate

One of the most compelling reasons to consider the five-seater Tesla Model X is the $7,500 federal point of sale rebate for the base model. Unlike tax credits, which require you to wait until tax season to realize the savings, the point of sale rebate is applied directly to the vehicle purchase price. This means that you can enjoy the rebate benefits immediately, making the Model X an even more attractive option.

A Joyful Driving Experience

Driving a Tesla Model X is an experience like no other. With its advanced technology, luxurious interior, and unparalleled performance, the Model X provides a joyful and stress-free driving experience. The five-seater version offers the same level of comfort and convenience, ensuring every journey is a pleasure.

The five-seater version, with its $7,500 federal point of sale rebate, makes this an even more attractive option, providing immediate savings and a joyful driving experience. So why wait?
