CarAndDriver Model X site implies they have tested new X?

[FirstInTown]

What a terrible article right now. Comments full of info from pre-update with price and pictures of post. Obviously they haven't driven it and should not be implying they can even judge the new version until they do.

Ex. In the Fuel milage section, they list the pre-updated EPA city/combo/highway MPGe ratings. Those are total false right now as even Tesla only gives a single number and says ESTIMATE.

And the SPECIFICATION section is I don't know what X. $131k, but 0-60 on 3.3 seconds, with 90 MPGe and 169 mile total range. Rating of original Performance X from 2017? How dare they imply that matches a current redesigned model. Really bad!

Article should say 2021.5 has been announced but they with give full review once available.


Of course I think C&D is Tesla hostile because they get $0 ad money from them, so to be expected, but really bad journalism from a main Auto Mag.

2021 Tesla Model X Review, Pricing, and Specs

They show unlimited mile 8 year powertrain warranty. I suspect that's an error too.

Everything there is an error. They use some sort of aggregator that’s always, or often, incorrect. Unfortunately, I stopped referring to C&D long ago.

Looks like a computer written article

Well hopefully the AI that wrote that is better than the one in the X that will pick D or R as the gear I need.

Par for the course for C&D - absolutely the worst auto mag in the world.

One caveat is that there are two versions of the 2021 X and S: pre and post refresh. So that’s going to remain confusing, not just for C&D. Maybe they should call it the 2021.5 version.
