A Lego Enthusiast Has Built A Working 1:10 Scale Tesla Model X
We’ve seen a few awesome Lego Technic automotive builds come out of the Danish firm lately, like the life-size McLaren Senna and Bugatti Chiron, the James Bond-spec Aston Martin DB5 and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but this amazing Tesla Model X creation isn’t an official piece.
Built by YouTuber RoboticLife out of standard Technic parts, the Model X falls to 1:10 scale and includes nine separate motors to work various moving parts. It can drive, steer, the gullwing rear and standard fold-out front doors are powered, there’s a mock Tesla screen in the cabin, the spoiler is powered and the pneumatically controlled suspension has two ride height options. And yes, it will go off-road.
The look isn’t as close to the real thing as RoboticLife will no doubt have wanted, but without special parts the 3.7kg model may not get closer.
The canny builder is selling instructions for how to build this exact car yourself, and he’s only asking $2 via PayPal for the digital download. All you need are all the necessary parts involved. We deeply admire the amount of work and love that went into this, so who’s up for their own Tesla Model X build? Let us know if you do!

wow , that looks good!
pretty cool!
Wow! 👌
Very nicely done !
Looks just as bad as the real thing
That is the most awesome thing I have seen so far today!
im not sure how to feel about this.
on one hand its amazing and the the amount of time, detail, and most importantly, dedication, is out of this world!
but on the other hand, its looks like a badly rendered 3D model of those background cars you see in racing games that are rendered by maximum 4 polygons.
Just like the ZR1 Lego set lol
I mean it’s never gonna be perfect. Legos can only do so much
Will it catch fire? Spontaneously?
Looks like they worked off of a N64 rendering. I am just not feeling it…3/10
Realistic panel gaps, very nice
