50k Miles Later - Tesla Model X P100D 2.0 Owner Review & Recap

You asked and in this review, we share our experience 50,000 miles and 3 years later on our Tesla Model X P100D ownership with an honest take. We covered service visits, an accident recap, range loss, issues with the doors/children, and give an honest opinion if we were to buy again. We think this Tesla Model X P100D review will help you if you're looking to buy a used Tesla in general or a used Model X.
While the Tesla Model X P100D is not perfect, looking at the big picture, the Tesla Model X P100D is an unbelievable SUV. Truly the Model X P100D is hard to believe that you can get this kind of performance, technology, and practicality in the year 2019. And now that it's depreciated, the Tesla Model X P100D is reasonably affordable. But, it does come with some compromises.
For example in 2019, we had to pay $1,400 to install a NEMO 14-50 outlet in my garage. That was an expense I had not figured into the calculations of this vehicle. I also am getting much less range than I should be. This car is rated at 285 and with my driving, at least in the first week, I was averaging 100 miles less per charge. I cover after three years of ownership, the range loss since buying in 2019 really has not degraded that much. But, it's still far lower than what Tesla states it should be.
In this Tesla Model X P100D 2.0 review video, we covered really our ownership experience to date. This includes the Tesla Model X P100D service visits where we mention replacing tires every 10-15k miles, the replacement of the upper control arms, the window trim, upgrading the MCU, issues with the gullwing doors, our accident recap, range loss, room in the back seats and more. We also launched the Tesla Model X P100D, discussed our love out AutoPilot 1.0, and took a little POV drive in the country.
In this 2.0 recap video, we do demonstrate Tesla's Model X P100D self-driving technology, and Tesla Model X P100D performance. I also show you the Tesla Model X P100D interior and Tesla Model X Falcon Wing doors. The Tesla Model X P100D is extremely good, it's fast, quiet and frankly fun to drive. The Tesla Model X P100D is scary fast, the truly mind-bending speed with a zero to 60 in under 3 seconds. Even after three years and 75,000 miles. the old Tesla Model X has not lost here performance capabilities.
The Tesla Model X P100D as equipped cost $158,500 before tax credits and state taxes and title fees. This Tesla Model X P100D has the dual motor, premium package, upgraded HiFi sound system, upgraded 22-inch wheels, red calipers, enhanced self-driving autopilot, 6-seat configuration, upgraded supercharger, and automatic doors. Today, this Tesla Model X is probably worth around $50-$60k if it had no accidents.
This Tesla Model X P100D is going to continue to be our daily driver for some time. Please post your respectful comments and questions. I am all for positive dialogue about the vehicle and will be happy to answer your questions regarding my experiences with the Tesla Model X P100D to date.
Thank you to everyone for watching and supporting the channel. It's been a passion project for the past few years and we are so excited for the 2023 season! We will continue with weekly content and look forward to sharing some exciting car reviews with you all!

Great 75,000 mile review! I enjoy hearing about how a car feels after years of ownership. The good and not so good. Honest look here. I would still own one!

[@Driven-Productions]

You know was interesting going through the records, really looking at the road rash and all the damage from other people. But can’t deny it the car has held up pretty darn well thus far.

[@ianbladuell2694]

I recently traded last July my 2021 Tesla model three long range for a 2017 Tesla model X 100 D and have not looked back. This car has performed exceptional the only maintenance work that I’ve had done on it since it already had 65,000 miles was replace the front struts due to a leak which ended up needing both front ones to be replaced, I did buy a set of four new tires, I did the MCU upgrade and recently changed The front control arms. Other than that it has been running flawless. Right now it said that the original range was 295 and at 100% it’s about 250-260 or so miles. Late last year I did a round trip from Austin to South Carolina which was 2700 miles and I had no issues whatsoever, my stops were for about 20 to 30 minutes each if even that long. the only thing I wish is that Tesla would let the car charge at a faster kw speed than 150kw or 160kw was the most that I could charge. Now it has 75k miles and purrs like a cat. Three weeks ago I had it wrapped and you can see int on my channel. Will keep for about 3 years and then trade for a used refreshed model x.

[@Driven-Productions]

Awesome to read my man. Thanks for sharing with the little community here and appreciate you watching.

[@kanamekuran23]

Congrats. I’m in the process of selling my 2018 model 3 LR to buy a 2017 100D X.

[@andream.464]

2018 Model X owner, here, drove 100k miles with it. Fist of all, this car in the video must be a 2017 , because it wasn’t able to support streaming etc. About his issues: 1) tires? Normal consumption for me 2)”upper control arms” we call them different, but yes: I had to change all 4 at 60k mls 3) no rock chips for me and I drive in Europe (higher speeds) but I have the more expensive color. 4) zero leather issues! I think yours is real leather; I already have the “vegan leather “ 5) space for kids? I have 3: If it’s not enough for you in a model X, no other car will do! 6) Falcon wing doors? Absolutely zero issues! They can be easily reset if you have any problems (I did it once) 7) time for parts? Just like with any other brand! (I also own a BMW and waited 2 months for a spare part) 8) air suspension freezing? Never happened and had spent nights in the alps. on the other hand I had to change a leaking air suspension 1200$ Range loss? First of all that car when new was showing 420km range (262 miles) and not 300 miles!!! EPA ranges. The range of your car after 3 years was 250miles which is absolutely normal! What is concerning is that under your ownership it went down considerably! My 2018 XP100D, 100k miles, still shows 240 miles range. One thing that should be mentioned: with time, charging speed lowers and that’s worse than loss of range! As long as you range is an EPA of 185 miles you’re fine with finding Superchargers anywhere.

[@Driven-Productions]

Upgraded the tech to MC2 or whatever Tesla calls it for I believe $1.6k, which is how it can stream. Otherwise appreciate you sharing all those thoughts!

[@driescoucke4373]

Great review. I switched the 22" for 20" wheels on my X 2018 P100D and this has increased range by 9,5%.

[@Driven-Productions]

And improved tire range and driving comfort especially in “low” setting.

[@explosivefitnessuk]

Useful video. Thanks!

[@Driven-Productions]

Appreciate you watching, dropping a Rivian R1S review soon subscribe you may enjoy learning about this one which is a close competition to the Tesla.

[@justdigit]

Thanks for uploading in 4K 60p HDR 👍

[@tyranelewis7763]

I gave you thumbs up on the info you shared about range loss. Thankyou. so many people forget even in an ICE if you drive spirited you lose gas range same as you lose in EV range. but you get better range when you drive an EV efficiently and utilize regen. so, the energy app in car will show how your range has increased or decreased based on your driving style. Never use the Battery icon mileage. that is EPA rated. Energy app is very accurate.

[@WinstonsGarage]

The active wing!! wow!

[@actoysreview2271]

I recommend you get Meguiars hybrid ceramic trim restorer. It does a great job making your black trims look new again. It comes on white but turns black.

[@krackken814]

Couldn't hear with the music in your vid, my car is a 2017 mxp100d, I have a click notice wen I go forward or reverse, is that normal?

[@PKerusso]

My P100D had a new RDU at 42,000 miles. I was hearing a windmilling noise, but no issues with drivability. No idea why this happened. dealer told me it " just wears out"...

[@rubendewulf]

I got 230000 kms now, not 1 issue . Brakes are still like New. Best car i have ever had .

[@Demobot1]

Wow. Where in Canada do you live? Have you had any issues with the air ride system?

[@rubendewulf]

@@Demobot1 Belgium , not with air ride , just with the bolts on the bushings... Don't know how to say it in English... Not 1 other issue .

Yeah good catch. Thats a pretty tough road for most humans to get right. Overall though, self driving on the highway which lets face it is where you majority would use it rocks.

I love my Model X! I've taken it on many road trips. imo it's the best car in the world right now, all things considered

[@Driven-Productions]

Bro I love yours too - white on black P100D with the rare center console, loaded to the max with the 22’s. You found a good one sir. Appreciate the watch and comment as always

[@adamsomers12]

I actually like the vertical screen more than the horizontal screen. It seems to have a better usability

[@Driven-Productions]

I agree, it’s the one thing people always say when they sit in this car. Wow the screen is so big, followed by the windshield.

[@Viet959]

The horizontal screen's bottom left corner is covered by the steering wheel on my 2023 X. Kind of annoying

[@The_ClayDayz]

Nice. I see you have garage door opener. Do you not have homelink?

I’m honestly not sure 🤔 Never set them up in my cars usually change them fast. But, maybe I need to look into this appreciate the idea.

Great Review even thought it's 2023

Appreciate you watching and commenting. Lots of EV content on the channel if that’s your thing.

[@kanyeplugg]

thinking about buying one, do you think its wise to get a third party warranty like xcare?

[@Driven-Productions]

Well peace of mind is nice, but, I would not have gotten the value from it personally.

[@zaneislandd4650]

I was looking option for 6seat model x but maybe this video saved me. Im trying to figure out how to get 3 big child seats to car. Definitely cannot fit those in the middle seat of model x if you are that cramped with that quite small seat

[@Driven-Productions]

Reality is the X is just not the best kid hauler. You may be best with a van for this stage of life. We made it work, and the doors are nice for loading and unloading. But, when we had that side swipe I referenced I rented a Toyota Sienna van and man the room that thing had was awesome for the family. I do think the X can work with two, but three car seats just too tight my man.

[@user-ig3up8be4o]

So you can update the infotainment system? So you’re able to now use the KZbin app on there?

[@Driven-Productions]

Correct

[@judeghazaleh6134]

Do you know anyone that makes a leather bra for the Tesla model x? Besides just protecting the front end from road debris, I think it looks great especially on a white model x

[@Insaiyanrider]

How’s it doing so far ? Would you get these over a new Tesla Y?

[@Driven-Productions]

It was just in the shop for alignment and steering wheel controls, cost $700 to fix. Other than that, no new issues. Range is 200 miles max I would say. The inner tire wear is an issue. Just replaced my tires in Jan and the rears needed to be changed two weeks ago again for $850. I do drive a lot though. The head tech recommended I sell the car before my 8 year warranty is up if that tells you anything. Asked him point blank. New modern 100 KwH battery would cost almost $20k he said. You also cannot 179 depreciate a Y 80% this year, so consider that. And now that Tesla dropped prices below $80k you can get the $7.5k tax credit. Hope some of that helps.

[@thomashutson]

They're not gull wing doors. They're called Falcon Wing Doors. Gull wing doors have single hinges, but the falcon wing doors are double hinged.

[@Driven-Productions]

Truth. Thanks for reminding me.

[@PerformanceY]

Im thinking to buy model X . I have read in Internet, a lot of modelX owners complain about front axel rattling problem. Is it expensive to replace?

[@Driven-Productions]

It was covered under warranty for me, so I can’t say. But changing upper control arms is probably around $300-$600

[@kanamekuran23]

Look for a 2017 model x as your minimum. A 2018 or newer is better because a lot of things got fixed

[@eiji81]

Range loss, expensive fixes, etc are huge factors esp out of warranty. Great car for sure, but lets not say its not without its faults.

[@Driven-Productions]

Well I was brutally honest and covered our experience and expenses. Hope it helped if you watched the whole video 👊

[@Alpabetlore-]

Took experience

[@trevonlincoln]

You have to change tires every 15k miles woah that’s a lot

[@Driven-Productions]

Yeah these vehicles are heavy and if you actually use the power from time to time you will eat up some tires. The 22 inch wheel also is a big factor.

[@sanyoblue]

What year is it

[@Driven-Productions]

2016

[@benhanna1406]

Do you rather buy a high Mileage model X ;65k miles, 2020 or lower mileage older model ?!

[@Driven-Productions]

That’s hard to say. If you get a 2016 like mine, you get real leather, you can get FSD, and can upgrade infotainment system to current gen so in many ways it will feel modern and with many over the air updates. Maybe this video will help a bit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqbMfn2hrJl5ea8

[@ochochinko1]

No amount of driving for those tire changes

[@Driven-Productions]

You mean low amount of driving for those tire changes? If so, yes its a heavy car, low profile tire with 22 inch wheels, and a lot of power. Thats a recipe to eat tires. But, they do look 👌

[@noligion]

"I actually drive my cars" Not a good way of saying I don't fall road laws.
