2019 Tesla X

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 X.

Body PASSENGER CAREngine Electric

The 2019 Tesla Model X is an all-electric passenger car, built around a fully electric powertrain rather than a conventional internal-combustion engine. Its owner-reported reliability profile for this model year shows 73 total complaints, with suspension emerging as the most-cited problem area alongside six recorded recalls, a combination that points to chassis-related concerns rather than drivetrain-specific failures. For a researcher, this makes the 2019 Model X a useful data point within the nameplate's record, since the headline figures suggest the model year's reliability conversation is shaped more by structural issues than by the underlying EV technology itself.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2019 Tesla X lead in one area — the suspension, 15 of 73 reports (21%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 10 of the reports describe a crash and 3 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the suspension pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
