A Tesla Model X may be a great car! Here are some benefits and downsides to help you decide:

- The Tesla Model X is an electric vehicle, so it is much better for the environment and also a lot quieter. But make sure that you are taking it to places where there are charging stations (most of the US does now, but you cannot refuel at regular gas stations and don't want to be stranded)

- The Tesla Model X has limited self-driving capabilities. It does *not* have full self-driving despite sometimes being claimed, but it is very close: it can control the steering wheel, acceleration, and brake on its own, but you still must be paying attention to the road

- The Tesla Model X has a dashboard for a display, instead of many buttons like older cars. However, many people prefer the older layout

- The Tesla Model X is a sleek car which drives fairly straightforward, as opposed to a big truck or sedan where you can tell the car is very heavy

- The Tesla Model X also has the ability to provide better lighting when driving at night, which may be good if you have bad eyesight

- Tesla is owned by Elon Musk, who in recent times has become a controversial figure. Teslas used to be world-famous, but people have claimed that Tesla's engineering has gone downhill as they are cutting corners.

- Tesla itself has had a few controversies where self-driving cars improperly recognized obstacles and/or crashed. However, these were almost certainly caused by drivers not paying attention: as long as you understand that this is not a 100% self-driving car, and keep your eye on the road, the Tesla is just as safe as other cars if not more

- Tesla cars are expensive, and the Model X is no exception.

- Related, people know that Teslas are expensive, so if you are driving one in a high-crime area they are more likely to break your window and/or try to rob you

- There are other electric semi-self-driving cars on the market which provide almost everything Tesla does, but cheaper and less well-known.

Overall, remember to follow the above steps, in particular the test drive, to make sure that a Tesla is *really* what you want. But if you are considering it, I would say it's an alright pick.

If you want benefits / downsides of any other cars or want my suggestions, just let me know.
