I bought a 2021(Non Refresh) Tesla Model X Long Range Plus. It’s works perfectly. It has around 37,000 miles. I think brand new it’s 371 range but the range on mine is 360 miles. Best purchase I’ve made!

[@Myksgarage]

Nice! Are the falcon doors operating properly? That was my biggest issue.

We are planning to buy the longest range X and 2021 long-range plus, with 371 miles seems to be the longest X. Does your never go more than 360-mile charge and/or range? Does it actually not allow you to charge more than 360?

I bought a model s a few years ago from tesla used and still got my 2016 unlimited charging!

[@Myksgarage]

That's awesome!

[@alanl3511]

I currently own a 2015 model S p85D. Bought it from Tesla 18 months ago. It needed 12v battery last month. It needed the rear hatch actuator about 7months ago. The big hit was the battery heater located up front. This car came from Denver so the heater worked a bit harder in the winter. Total out of warranty was roughly $1,200. Granted this was 6 years old when I purchased it so I expect things to fail. Still a great vehicle and will take it over gas any day. I did rent a 2017 70D model X from Turo. It was a great ride as well. The model X will be the next Tesla I purchase. Great video, great information to know..

[@Myksgarage]

That's cool, I own a p85d model S as well, and I love the car, we just took delivery of a new model Y and we like the Y more than the X.

Purchase a 2016 75D for my wife couple months ago. Win over with a fine tooth comb everything is fine with it. It has 90,000 Mi on it and we purchased it for $21 OTD. This is our first electric vehicle and getting a feel for it. If we like it in a couple years I will get her a new Model X long range. Hopefully by then they come out with solid state batteries. So far it's been a good experience.

[@lukem5962]

You the only owner?

[@terrification]

Great video. I purchased a 2016 90D as well which somehow still had warranty that expired only this month. So far it's been a year and the only issues i've had were a few rattles which Tesla service was able to fix. In Normal suspension I hear a slight clicking noise under hard acceleration. I don't feel a shudder though. This noise goes away in low suspension, however that gives you way more wear on the rear tires as the camber changes quite a bit. I've had about 12k out of my rears and will need to replace them soon. I think I have a small alignment issue though which I'll let Tesla handle when I swap the rears. It was also good to hear you replaced only two tires on one axle without issues. The 90D's are AWD and every tire place I quiz wants to replace all 4 which I don't think is required on this car as there is no transfer case. All around it's been a GREAT car and we've had lots of fun with it. Somehow after 6 years it still turns heads and is a real conversation starter no matter where I go. Glad to see you've only had minor issues as well. These seem to be standing the test of time.

[@Myksgarage]

Great comment, thanks for sharing! This car had 78,000 miles on it when I got it, and for the most part have gotten most of the issues resolved, thankfully under warranty. Luckily I still have 3 years left on the battery warranty which is the big concern!

I have an extended warranty. Around 3k but it means the car is fully covered for 8 years. A lot of these are expensive fixes. I think it’ll improve resale if I sell after 6 years or so. Then again, I may keep it for much longer if it continues to run well.

The bald tires could've cause the shutter drive train issue. AWD vehicles to be the same or closer in tread. If the alignment is off, it can cause gear issues. Teslas are different, but want to keep track of that.

[@genoj9913]

I appreciate the video and sharing your experiences. I have the exact same year and model Tesla with one exception with mine having white seats. I do feel the front shutter under acceleration in my vehicle and the door pulsates while open as well. I also had issues with the front wheel trim with the cameras. I was told by Tesla if the wheel trim was ever removed it was extremely difficult to reuse the original trim and it’s nearly a guarantee you’ll need to replace it. I purchased my X with 23k miles but I can a only assume without maintenance repair from the prior owner. I was disappointed not to get Tesla maintenance from Tesla. To my surprise, Telsa has replaced or repaired several minor issues under their “goodwill” service. Thank goodness. However, I have paid something in the range of $6k in the first year after buying it used in repair. It’s been practically solid since those earlier repairs the first year. I get salty at the early maintenance cost but love the car and experience. Again. Great video. Thx Good video. Thx again.

[@egilhaugsnes4056]

I have an Oct. 2017. I've had 3 of the same problem you have, falcon door, actuator on front door, and studder during acceleration. Problem with the falcon door is intermittent though. I noticed it first when I went to southern Europe on hollyday, and there it basically happened all the time. When I came back to Norway, it disappeared, but then, a year later on a really hot day, it happened in Norway as well. So I figured that the sensor must be sensitive to heat. It also get that "red shield" outside the door on the display when it is really hot, like it is sensing something. Normally it is cold were I live so it is not really a problem for me.

[@Myksgarage]

Have you looked into getting the shudder fixed?

Excellent and helpful video thank you! You have a very calm and informative delivery, which is really appreciated! I’m just beginning to research the Tesla Model X’s. Looking at used as well. I have a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica plug in hybrid, which has been great (despite Chrysler’s reputation), but at this point I’m over gas vehicles, even the plug ins! Plug ins are a great bridge to full EVs but ready for full electric. The biggest draw for me with the X, besides being fully electric, is the 6 seat configuration. It might take longer to find the 6 seater option but with kids that seems really practical and also avoids the arguments that can happen on a bench seat! Thanks again for the really helpful video.

[@rleon8183]

How much did you pay for this Model X with 75000 miles? $50,000???

[@Myksgarage]

In May of 2021 I paid $48,200.

[@BSnydr]

Why didn’t you get the free upgraded mcu? Did I miss something?

[@Myksgarage]

The MCU upgrade is $1,500

[@dallasglover7135]

I bought a 2022 tesla model x plad

[@Myksgarage]

How do you like it?

[@DekhoAmericaUSA]

Is 3nrd row foldable

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah it folds down out of the way. 2nd row with captains chairs are not foldable

[@c42know]

how tall is your garage?

[@Myksgarage]

It's about 10.5'

[@kauztekgaming]

Motor mounts?

[@Myksgarage]

I didn't have issues during the short time I owned this car

[@theticoboy]

Great video. How’s it holding up? Any regrets or other issues? I’m considering getting a 2017 or 2018 X 7 seater if I can find a good deal. But I’m also looking at a slightly 2020-2021 model Y 7 seater. Any thoughts on which way to go?

I bought a 2016 with 83k I had to replace the infotainment 2k dollars but worth it to be able to actually use it, I Do have the shuttering but doesn’t bother me much it doesn’t happen all the time, my 80% milage is at 178 now so hopefully I can get them to replace the battery for free I haven’t had to do any repairs other then alignment and I drive like MAD MAN…the car show is cool but seems like it would cause damage if you keep doing it

[@Myksgarage]

Is yours a 75D?

[@floofyotter]

Tl;Dr: no warranty means huge bills.

[@Myksgarage]

Yes it does!

[@nute742]

How much did you pay for it?

[@Myksgarage]

Back in May 2021 when I bought it I paid $48k for it. The same car is going for around $30k now

[@PipenFalzy]

For the price of those things, you should not be having those kinda issues. If that warranty wasn't there I doubt you would still have that vehicle. Sad Tesla is still having a lot of issues.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I ended up selling it shortly after this video because I didn't want to own it with an expired warranty

[@bjornebekk2]

Save money to when screan breaks after warenty... its 10.000$

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah that's expensive!

[@Bredddi]

as someone who did just this in 2021 and went through 17k in maintenance in two years with an $1800/mo payment. the true guide is really 1 step. 1) don't do it.

[@Myksgarage]

$17k in maintenance on a model X?

[@mistertherabbit]

Hi could you post the part numbers for the motor mount and the axle from the invoice? Thanks!

[@Myksgarage]

I no longer have the invoice or the car, sorry

[@ProjectDrift350Z]

Still holding up strong?!😁

[@Myksgarage]

Sold it after owning it for 8 months for a new Model Y. Here's a video I made comparing the 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3LVnJ2PhNGUf5Y

[@ProjectDrift350Z]

@@Myksgarage just watched it actually! Very helpful. I’m considering a used 2017 model X P100D with 60k miles for $68k but I’ve been jumping back and forth on the idea of just getting a new Y instead. We’ll see what I end up doing. Thank you for the videos’

[@tznutz4824]

If you own a new one better enjoy the first 3-5years of it because as we all know battery lifespan starts to deteriorate between the first 2-4years. So dont be surprise if your range becomes more and more less then what it was. Also note that the battery overtime will start to lose its ability to hold a charge like any rechargeable battery would.. Now if you bought a used Tesla at a bargain price you will be in for a surprise if when you need to replace the battery itself one day, so prepare yourself to fork over 10k or more.

[@Myksgarage]

These cars are going strong well past 12 years of ownership
