Used Tesla Model X Ultimate Buyers Guide - Problems / History / Options explained.

[@raymondwong2521]

Your video is the most informative by far. Others pretend to be pros, but they just talk about the basics.

[@daviddenley3512]

We need independent dealers such as yourself both for info and to see and discuss used cars!

[@21thiru]

Hands down the best video for anyone considering one of the Model X variants. Info dense and very professionally presented.

[@CharliePryor]

Keep in mind, US people, that 13:22 doesn't apply to us. NACS is the standard in the United States, and eventually CCS is going to be gone entirely over the next half decade anyways. It's the superior port, and the standard Tesla port is being transitioned on almost all other EVs in the future to that port, so no adapters required for this.

[@tomspooner9062]

Only in the USA. Where you have 3 phase AC power NACS is inferior. All the Chinese EV’s are CCS2. As normal, North America have their own ideas.

[@rickyhee7493]

This got to be the most comprehensive video on Model X.

[@Maarmu]

I use a similar tray in a Model 3. When I work, I sit at the passenger side. The interior is symetric. You have more space is you put the chair all the way back. Great ergonomics, great music, airco, power from USB C... I love it!

[@narrowgauge7.25]

Thank you excellent buyers guide just what I needed to know

[@RSEV]

No worries thanks for the nice comment!

[@AFChase]

just ordered mine preowned from tesla. will remember this vid when I go pick it up. cheers!

[@grahamarnold2591]

GREAT FIRM...unbiased advice and Knowledge --- EX model S owner --now MODEL 3 AND SKODA CITIGO ---BUY and sell with Rsymons all day long ---They know their Tesla's... 10/10 100%

[@MarcoSanders]

Excellent video! Been driving a ‘17 90D since 2019. Did over 50k miles till now. Won’t sell this any time soon, it’s great!

[@sudbos3021]

I think one of the main point missed is about chargers and charging after your purchase. Checking if you've been provided with charging cable, granny charger(which we had missing, but our dealers was kind enough to post one at no extra cost after 2 months of purchase), check if you have the CCS connector provided and other few adapter's needed fir home charging. Loved this video! ❤️

[@chancedaniel6085]

One of the most knowledgeable, and informal reviews I've ever seen. I definitely subscribed, thanks!

[@benashenden-g4j]

we just bought a 2017 Model X 90D, great video you've made here!!

Amazing video. Can’t wait to check out your others. Straight to the point. No nonsense. Love it. Cheers. 🎉

THANK YOU!!!! 😍 in not a long time (when he retires) it will be really handy for my dad 😃

[@44Bigs]

I’m considering moving from leasing a 2020 Model 3 to buying a Model X Raven. Such a great car but in some ways (interior, charging) it does feel a bit dated compared to the 3. I mean.. no phone key, but much more comfortable. Tough choice.

[@willytwo53072]

Outstanding presentation from a Tesla Model X expert! Thanks!

[@mullholand]

Great overview - really well done. I have a Model X Performance - and it is a beast... so want the Plaid - but no free supercharging... and man - that is nice.

[@nathansaviour7294]

Just purchased a Tesla Model X, happy to say it has all the best features you mentioned. I was told the majority of tail lights get condensation due to the lights having an opening to them. If that's not true then I definitely need to get mine changed at some point.

[@anthonywootton1962]

Great - love it - fits many people 😂😂 best Tesla

[@vincent_hall]

I would NOT trust a colleague to let me out of the frunk/boot! Mark is a lucky man.

[@lordbaron104]

You really make great videos mate ! You've changed my mind about buying cars from a dealer vs an independent buyer so thank you for that ! I am in the market to buy a used car, unfortunately I live in Ukraine so it's gotta be a left hand drive 😀 I've sent links to your videos to loads of friends and I do hope that someday you get a sale out of my shared videos! Keep up the great videos coming mate ! Sorry I can't be one of your customers 🤷‍♂️ I'm looking forward to checking your video on the model 3 .. 😀

[@RSEV]

Thank you ever so much for your kind words and for sharing the videos 🤗.

[@mylhainen]

hahah the intro was hilarious!

[@SpiffTV-Official]

I wish you told us the year of the Tesla you keep saying early car but no year

[@RSEV]

If I say early car, for a model X I would be referring to a 2017 example. That’s when we first got them in the UK

[@SpiffTV-Official]

Thank you

[@AllenHart999]

Very very good video. Thanks for sharing. I will be coming to see you soon.

[@RSEV]

Ah thanks! We’re no presenters but do our best! Thanks for the nice comment, appreciated.

[@lammisirman]

Thank you, as always. You are so informed and offer invaluable insights. Excellent

[@andrewwright2609]

Thank you for making this video! It was very informative and helped me properly assess a remote Model X purchase.

Thanks for the knowledge!

[@ryanwarburton4047]

That was informative. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@badrinair]

This is simply superb. such a good informative video. thanks a tonne mate.

[@DescartesRenegade]

14:30 is where the problems to look out for is.

[@jakobpind]

Very informative, thanks. I’m currently considering swapping my model Y for a model X.

[@mehdiflayelle]

Hi, I plan to buy a model x in 6 seaters. There is a big difference in term of price regarding the year of production and mileage. Shall I really avoid 2016 to 2018 production year model and what is the max km you recommend to buy if any incidence on the car? Thanks a lot for your answer 😊

[@ginggur17]

Brilliant info, thankyou. Very in depth. 👍👍👍

[@TheBlondins]

This is a great video. Really want to get one of these since the price point can give such great value. Appreciate all the things to look for. How often would you say you need new tires with normal gentle driving?

[@florenciovela7570]

we love your show & love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both

[@hoitshef]

Maybe the famous shudder issue with the MX and the fact there’s no solution available might have deserved some more airtime..

[@davidbryant2872]

Good info, but I was disappointed that you did not talk about the significant changes in 2019 when the Raven models were introduced, with new more efficient motors and revised air suspension (supposedly much better?).

[@JamieWilson-k1z]

Do you need a CCS Support Unit installed prior to using one of the CCS Adapters? On the tesla app it’s saying not applicable to our vehicle? Just could really do with getting one of these CCS adapters … for reference we have a MX 2020

[@Dani94W]

What about the Display issues? I read there are two versions. One with the apps which works, the otherone fails eventually.

[@PerformanceY]

I love Model X and im looking to buy my first Tesla. So i have few questions. 1 . People complain about front drive shaft shattering, typical Model X problem. Is it expensive to fix? 2. Does all model X have century mode option? 3. Is it true that model X from 2019 have improved nose isolation?

[@mamu679]

You're lucky, I'm also buying a MX soon and I at least know the answer to your 1st question. Yes it is expensive to fix, so look for an indepandent garage to change it. This is caused by a design error. Fix: always ride in low or very low suspension mode (then the drive shaft is more in a straight alignment and has lesser wear). This solution is also suggested by Tesla. Downside on this is that your rear wheels will get a more negative camber which leads to the effect as shown at 15:47. This is due to the fact that the camber can not be adjusted at the rear wheels. However, there are 3rd party providers which supply a solution to enable camber adjustment. Not cheap, but cheaper as buying new tires every season.

[@jeromeandre4915]

Another great one guys.

[@RSEV]

🤗 thank you

[@jurgairema]

We bought our Tesla x from you! Just very happy with our purchase 🚘 The car is stunning!

[@Xander054]

How’s the car holding up?

[@TheJAMF]

16:08 So just check if the value of the wheels should be reduced in the value of the total, or is there a mechanical issue that might need looking at?

[@flyingscot3666]

Thx dude - good video - much appreciated - I am still on the fence - its an expensive car to buy #2 hand and it seems like i could be wide open to expensive repairs.....

[@djgizmo250]

We’ll done with the details! Excellent!!!

[@robbietighe6577]

Hey did you guys do one of these for Model Y ? Can't find one. I really enjoyed this

[@mikev4089]

Do they also make a petrol powered version?

[@guillermomartin8248]

How many years old is too much for a model x right now?

[@Niranga]

Catching up on your old videos. Excellent information! I just picked up a refresh model but nice to know what things to keep an eye for issues.

[@petecresswell6740]

Is a 17 reg car advertised with FREE supercharging transferable with changed ownership possible. You seem imply NO?

[@daviddenley3512]

Thank you for making this very interesting Used Tesla Buyers Guide for us. I doubt that Zi'll ever be able to afford one myself but since some dealers will offer terms maybe I ought to watch your video's a bit more often 😌

[@t_rex8767]

so used to charge my model s in a wall-outlet, does it risk fire if i get a model x and keep doing it? :/

[@gknikolov]

Do not use wet wipes/ alcohol wipes or disinfectant wipes on Leather interior as it will strip away the top coat / lacquer of the material (especially on the newer type "vegan" or pleather (plastic leather). (Leather repairer). Thank you for the great video otherwise. Very informative! :)

[@Molochocko]

I’m buying a 2017 90d long range…… it seems in excellent condition and has 77k on the clock. Any tips?

[@westmcgee9320]

No mention of the windshield wiper issue?

[@c10_j2]

Very valuable overview. Thanks 👍 One question still please bothering. What about warranty? After 50k miles? Can we extend it with Tesla or are there any that provide like them. Much appreciate the work.

[@RSEV]

In the uk there are a few options from third party providers incl Helvetia who basically extend the Tesla one.

[@itzjdub282]

This was a thorough review

[@johnbird8354]

Great and useful video thanks. You mentioned changing the wheels from silver slipstream to the carbon (?) slipstream. Is that a swap of OEM or repaint of the rims? Any advice/info re that please?

[@RSEV]

Can just paint the rims… simple quick and easy. Tesla used to offer grey wheels for the S at an expensive upgrade. Much cheaper to paint

[@MagicWok]

How about the battery life/warranty?

[@zaidmuscle80]

Great presentation Thanks

[@j.4941]

Outstanding video, thanks so much. We're actually thinking about buying a used MX 6-seater and I'm a bit worried because in so many forums you'll hear that there's like no MX that wouldn't have the driv shaft prolems and that they just keep coming and that it's a money pit after warranty. But you make it sound rather like something that's not that widespread and also not that critical. Could you perhaps elaborate on that? Is this something to fear? Is it a show stopper? In case it stutters if there's a little warranty left have it get rectified and then be done and just have a nice car or is this really like "a big thing"?

[@RazorBlademe04]

Another Great Video, Shame they all have steering Wheel on the wrong side. 😅 Not sure what Model to buy 3 or X? In Germany Theres a €9000 Saving from goverment on E Cars.

[@RSEV]

[@littlepurpleball6799]

great Video, Thank you. I am told the super chargers are free again for the S and X new owners, it is true ?

[@RSEV]

Hi. Free supercharging is not on new cars (you’ll get a few if use a referral code like in the video description) and only applies to certain older cars

Hello and thank you for the valuable information I have a 2018 X, 7 seater is there a solution you e found for the Falcon door outer seal degradation? Tesla out here in California want about $1400 to replace them and give me a wapping 1 year warranty Thank you for any response

[@mamu679]

Have you already found a solution?

[@MarioGonzalez-zo8lc]

@@mamu679 The only “solution” is to remove the degraded edge since it’s just cosmetic to fill in the separation and does not involve preventing water into the car. Otherwise pay Tesla $1300

Great video....do you service Tesla’s or just sell them 🙂👍

[@RSEV]

Just sell them really. There’s not really any particular servicing to do and maintenance jobs and some fixes we certainly carry out for ourselves but not really on public scale. Recommend Cleevely EV as one of the most respected independent Tesla service centres in the uk

[@ionkon]

I'm thinking of buying a Model X, but I am somewhat afraid of all the problems these cars come with... especially when the car is out of warranty. Any ideas how much would cost to run a 5 year old ModelX for another 5 years? My other option is a brand new EQB.. same cost, 5 year warranty but smaller inside, no tow bar and range equal to Model X 75D.
