Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 X.
The 2022 Tesla X Electric, built on Tesla’s dedicated EV platform, is powered solely by an electric drivetrain that defines its architecture. Across the model year, owners logged a total of 122 complaints, with steering issues emerging as the most frequent concern, and the vehicle was subject to 22 recalls. Positioned within a lineage that has seen incremental improvements in durability, the 2022 iteration reflects a modest reliability record that suggests continued attention to its steering systems in subsequent generations.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2022 Tesla X lead in one area — the steering, 22 of 122 reports (18%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 22 recall campaigns target the steering, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 11 of the reports describe a crash and 2 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the steering 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.
