The dude's been running this car ragged for 200k miles, charging mostly at superchargers (which is bad for the battery) and he's still at 90% battery capacity. Only thing he's replaced is some seals, tires, and a couple of struts on the worst-built Tesla model. Dang, that's incredible. These cars are built to last.
Yes I got pretty lucky with the car. Only normal repairs understandable for the mileage. I tell everyone, do not worry about battery and drivetrain, the rest of the car will not hold so long
And it’s funny I have 87% capacity left on my model 3 performance after 2.5years/52k miles. I rarely supercharge, 90% charging from home, charge rate initially to 90% up until about 40k miles, now I’m at 80%. What the heck am I doing wrong?
@@Cjdergrosse I have experience with couple 3s and unfortunately the early cars has much higher initial degradation. There are cars with less than 40k miles and already 8% degradation. But after the first initial big drop, the further degradation becomes slow linear
My 2018 Model S 100D has almost 160,000 miles and still going strong. Interior is holding up great. No major issues. Never did charge up to 330miles form day-one. Now able to max charge at 295miles. I did the upgrade on the MUC/screen. Same breaks, change tires about every 40,000 to 45,000 miles. Plan on keeping long term. Go Tesla !! .
Still got a ways to catch up to my Model S, it's up to 432k mi and counting! The previous owner bought the car new in 2015, and used it for Uber full time for the following 5 years, at an average of over 80k mi per year. In the nearly 2 years I've had it, it's had very few issues, and is my daily commuter, plus I do a little bit of rideshare on the side, and the occasional long road trip (I'll actually be taking a ~2000mi round trip starting in less than a week). If you're ever visiting the San Diego area and want to take a peek, let me know! You may or may not remember, but you visited the shop where I work after your Model 3 cannonball run. We've actually moved to a new location and changed up the shop quite a bit. These days our number one source of business is in repairing EVs (mostly Tesla powered).
@@Dadadu16 it's had the front drive unit swapped out once (at around 375k mi). Rear drive unit is still original. The Small Drive Units that are used in the dual motor, non-performance models (guess I should have mentioned my car is a 70D) are generally pretty bulletproof, unlike the Large Drive Units used in in the back of RWD and Performance versions... We actually specialize in rebuilding those at the shop where I work.
@Jan 6 was "Wall Street Putsch" part 2 good point, the battery would be in even better condition if the charging wasn’t as aggressive as constant supercharging.
As I mentioned in the video, you need to get lucky to get such a low degradation. Normally it is about 16% for this type of misuse ;-) what isn't actually that bad too
While I won't buy a Tesla, when I eventually buy an EV (next year), I will not use fast chargers very often, if at all. I'm naturally patient, and I know how much faster chargers can hurt the battery.
@@snakeeyes9246 you will do 98 percent of charging at home anyways to make it at all worth it. For road trips you will need to use fats charging - unless you want to sit there a minimum of 6 hours at the highest available 220 volt charging.
@@snakeeyes9246 some of the experts actually claim supercharging is good for the battery. The conventional wisdom may not be accurate. He may be preserving his battery instead of abusing it.
Not 100% surprised on the low degradation -- time is as much of a killer as high mileage. But it's glad to know mileage alone + lots of supercharging isn't a killer..
Yeah most folks I talk to about battery deg get their information from the deg NiCad batteries had in the old Prius. Li based batteries with any sort of thermal management will last longer than folks hold onto a typical ICE car today.
DC fast charging is hurting the battery a bit. Fortunately mine pack got lucky in chemistry lottery. But I know the odds are in favour that the battery will sustain some damage. I am simply doing way too much miles and charging
@@anydaynow01 Most folks I talk to take a worst case scenario they heard about somewhere and apply that "knowledge" to all EVs. Otherwise known as haters.
Thank you very much :-) actually English was my first foreign language, unfortunately in couple last years I have very few opportunities to speak English. And since I live and work for last 7 years mostly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland where is primarily German spoken, you naturally pick up the sounds.
Good thing to see a happy owner and a reliable car! My ‘16 facelift MS 70 hold up well with 129k miles. Degradation is so low (less than 10%)that I would not call it a degradation!
2008 BMW X5 here is 220 miles. This truck as of now gets 11 miles to the gallon, has had around 10k in maintenance and as of now is burning oil internally which according to the dealership costs $7700 to fix. Only reason why I have not gotten rid of it is because the it is paid for and CyberTruck was delayed. Ordered my CyberTruck in November 2019. Just though I would share that perspective.
Thank you ... I have the Refresh on order since day one of reveal, unfortunately it doesn't look that Tesla will start to make deliveries in Europe any time soon
It's nice to see the car holding up so well. Battery degradation is low, and interior materials have held up nicely too. And he tows once a week with it! There were a lot of questions about reliability and longevity, and this car answered those questions. It's a testimony to how well-made the Tesla is.
Dang! I'm still shy of 200k, I'm currently at 186k miles on my 2013 Tesla Model S P85+, can still charge up to 233 miles at full charge when I do so, so about 12% battery degradation. As a Tesla Tech I'm gonna try to keep this thing going for a very very long time.
Happy to hear that you still enjoy your car. Please be aware, that the Performance vehicles from those days suffer from coolant leakage into the rear drive unit. Start looking for a third party shop where they can refurbish the drive unit,since Tesla asks stupidly money for refurbished drive units.
@@KristianKratochvil oh I am very aware. Everytime a older Model S performance comes in for a drive unit isolation fault it's guaranteed that's the issue. I work for Tesla and work on the vehicles my man.
@@dylangonzalez8812 I very nearly bought a brand new Model 3 RWD, the base. But then I found a 2014 Model S p85 with 31k miles on it for 29k with completely FREE supercharging. It still goes about 260 on a full charge. Very happy with the purchase. The new Model 3s are smaller, 272 miles of range so only 12 miles more, and have to pay for supercharging.
@@dylangonzalez8812 tha you are lucky to sit on the source ... there are couple of independent shops in Europe, that can completely overhaul the drive unit and eliminate this for good for a fraction of cost by Tesla refurbisher unit
Randomly encountered this video. Thanks for putting it together. I'm still driving my Tesla Signature Model X #208 (last to be delivered in 2015). Rock On!
Great vid, I normally don't watch longer 20 minute yt clips but that did not seem like 20 minutes! I have a 78k mile '17 100 as well. That lounge is awesome btw! And hello from Texas!!! 👋
I wanted to get silver TM3 as well but unfortunately it was never officially available in Europe. Nowadays I just hope that Giga Berlin will start to produce Liquid Silver TMY soon
@@lachlanB323 since I live in Europe I have already seen and got a chance to drive few of quicksilver vehicles. It is the best color option for Model Y in my opinion. For the X the standard white or the new Ultra Red are sweet as well. But I imagine that quicksilver on Model X would be just WOW
I have nearly 185,000 miles on my 2017 silver model X 90D and it has very similar qualities. I drive in the Chicago area and have not noticed the corrosion. Had to get a new AC and steering linkage that failed about 1 year ago. I find the rubber trim around the FWDs to be very bad quality and Tesla does not offer a reasonably priced kit but insists the owner pay $1K or more to replace the upper FWD window (which has new replacement trim attached). Other than that it's holding up very well with normal battery degradation. I still love driving it and use FSD on my daily commutes.
Hi ... congratulations on your silver whale ;-) The issues you describe are typical for early models before small facelift. Except for the steering rack, that has been solved late 2018. I got lucky, just the joint has to be replaced but it is like 70 EUR plus labour.
Late to this video but very interesting none the less. I just today ordered a used 2018 Model X 6 seater with 48K miles on the ODO for $38K from Tesla. I have had a Cybertruck on order since 2019 and leased a Model Y LR as a place holder vehicle. My interest in Cybertruck has diminished significantly since the start of production with the $20K price increase (from the 2019 estimates) and then the $20K Founders Edition $ bump put it at $90K for the DM which made me rethink the entire proposition. Last week I test drove a silver (also my fav Tesla color) 2017 Model X with 103,213 miles on the ODO at a nearby Toyota dealership and loved the car. It had a 7 seat setup (I prefer the 6) so after some haggling I refused their final $31K offer. The Model X I bought today isn't silver (2017 was the last year) but it my 2nd favorite color and has a Tesla 1yr, 10K mile full warranty and a couple more years for the battery and drivetrain. It also has better 20" sonic carbon wheels and 6 seats with a hell of a lot less miles. Both have Advanced Autopilot and barring any major issues it will be my daily driver and road tripping car for the foreseeable future. I'm aware of the control arms issue and will deal with that under warranty with Tesla as needed and eventually replace them with the after market kit that better address the issue.
Just bought a 2018 Model S 100d with 120,000 miles. No issues, 380miles of range at 100%. The previous owner clearly took care of it. Only issues are 1 rim was cracked and LED trim lights in headlight units are going out.
This might get me crucified but it sounds to me like Tesla has the drivetrain nailed and they need to partner with someone like Toyota for all the other bits. As stellar as 200k miles is, having to replace door seals yearly just sounds incredibly annoying. My 17 year old Prius is on original everything. In fairness, Toyota backed out of their relationship with Tesla. So that's maybe not the best partnership example. But hopefully the point came across.
And let me tell that even I agree, that Teslas are not very good cars in comparison to particular brands. But Tesla is as a package is still one of the best electric cars on market. In some cases not the best electric car for specific uses and regions, but in general for 80% of drivers is the easiest choice
I think he's replacing yearly, because he does is himself, as to adjust rear door, with his schedule - waste of time, as I understood no Tesla support in their country as yet
@@vladzis the issue here is that you shouldn't be replacing seals really ever lol. They should be good for the life of the car. Water ingress in the trunk? None of this would fly among almost any other big brand.
@@belavet I've got W220 MB S class 10 years ago, it had water ingress inside of the trunk as well, not sure what's the reason here in Tesla, but on mine it was failed tail light seal, and MB wasn't selling it as a separate part, I needed to replace whole tail light to sort it out. I also have 3000GT (1993), and it's not watertight as well, where door glass meet rubber (Tesla's also having frameless windows).
@@vladzis I'm gonna be real here, I'd call that poor design/materials as well. The BMW doesn't get a pass from me 😆 It's why I say they should partner with a solid car company that has vehicles in the road that are multiple decades old. Tesla's goal (apparently) isn't even to be a luxury car maker.
@@Frygisk Still have the Model S? A good way to calculate battery degradation is looking at the kwh added at a super charger. Really good if you go from empty to full, but even just calculating by the % should be decent.
Just a comment on the pod for a chilled out break, they have expanded as I’ve seen one in Los Angeles near sunset Blvd, tens of chargers with the coded door for the pod
We need to start asking more about tire replacements over these high mileage vehicles as I’m seeing a higher turnover from the boards. Understandable, but it’s nice to accumulate the data.
The suspension setting from factory is really crap, tires could not hold more than 20-30k km. After some adjustments by somebody who understands Tesla suspension I can do over 60k kms (40k miles)
@@rosmarin2438 in Europe you mustn't mount any other dimensions of tire that there are on Certificate of Conformity from manufacturer. It is not problem of rubber quality, but the suspension geometry sucks and is ripping and shredding the tires
@@matteocomelli9587 exactly and unfortunately in Tesla Service they will it adjust it in accordance with the manual. You need to set the geometry for low / very low. Tesla sets it in Normal what than actually wears the half shaft down
My Model X P100D Ludrious always have door issues when it is in hot sun. Front doors would only open an inch if they sense hot temperatures; and the Falcon Wing doors also refuse to open if the sensors on the doors sense approximately over 80F and I live in SF Bay Area where my local weather is about 80F to 100F during July to October months. It is a constant hassle, especially embarrassing when bystanders watch my family struggle to get either in or out of the car. Also rattle is annoying. Tesla uses lot of plastic pieces for its interior and exterior trims. The plastic pieces harden over time as they are exposed to sun and harsh weather, they creak and rattle when the Model X goes over uneven road surfaces. It is a bit annoying especially for an otherwise quiet electric car. My rear motor failed at 42,000 miles. It was repaired under warranty, else the cost originally quoted via the Tesla app was $6,700 USD. Good luck. I am trading in my Model X for the Lucid Gravity SUV once it will become available. Oh and there is no power frunk opening for a high-end car and if your hands are full, you have to put your stuff down on the floor, then get your app or the physical keys to have either the frunk lid or trunk lid open, a bit annoying when your hands are full. Also, after driving long distance for a trip, the frunk lid is dirty with insects, you have to wear gloves to open or close the frunk lid else your hands will be very dirty. And in hot weather, try touch the frunk lid, it burns your hands too. For such an expensive car, it lacks lot of basic features you find in other similarly prices vehicles. Poor Tesla quality as well, as I have six panels which are mis-aligned from day one. Tesla says cannot adjust them anymore without compromising other sides of the panels and create other issues. OMG. I took delivery due to I really wanted to show off to friends at that time 5 years ago. I do regret ordering the Tesla somehow due to its poor quality and lack of features that a pricey vehicle supposed to have. Oh, the Tesla Service Center is a sub-par experience too. Be ready to get you car back with lots of dirty interior and exterior. Everytime, we can the car back after service it is very very dirty. The loaner cars from Tesla Service center are dirty too. Every time, we can the car back after service it is very very dirty. The loaner cars from Tesla Service center are dirty too. Almost forget, front upper suspension failed twice ( a known defect of Model X performance models for 2020 years and before ). Rear brake light has water condensation and Tesla says it is "within specs" so Tesla refuses to fix. Give me a break.
Never going to happen. Tesla makes changes and upgrades that change performance, efficiency, safety, etc. dailey. There is no easy comparison over time.
the tow hook does not need to be hidden all the time for all countries in the EU. Maybe some specific insurances request this. In case of a rear ending car, it depends of who is on fault who needs to pay the damages.
Great video, love this type of content. I'm planning to keep my Model 3 SR+ for as long as possible and wonder if age will show anything any different as I'm only doing less than 10k miles a year. Bunch of little annoying issues with things like rear lights full of water (had my 6th replacement light fitted by a ranger today)
Hi ... I have experience with 3s as well. The degradation at the beginning is much higher than with S/X because of other chemistry. But after initial drop the line flattens and is very gentle. I could observe 0,5-1% per year caused by age
My 2018 Model X P100D with Lubricous Plus had its rear motor replaced under warranty at 70,800 miles. The motor went dead suddenly and waited for 2.5 hours for a tow truck due to it was almost 9pm. Front upper control arm (left side) also broke. It was replaced at 45,000 miles. Front seats show lots of cracks and wrinkles. Tesla's should use longer lasting materials for the seats. Other than these, my Model X now has 90,000 miles and seems to be driving well and smooth. Yet, Tesla quality is a hit and miss. It really varies a lot from one Tesla to another. Mine also had interior rattle noise when going over speed humps and very uneven road surfaces. Hope mine will last at least 200,000 miles without anymore problems since my warranty will be out by 100,000 miles.
@@thayalansuntharalingamthe limited vehicle warranty is 4 years or 80.000 km. The powertrain / battery has 8 years without a kilometre limit. This was for old cars, such as mine, till june 2019.
Thanks for the nice comment! I completely agree with you, I miss the silver option as well. I am very curious what kind of silver will be produced in Berlin, there are rumors could be identical to that Model 3 preproduction vehicle during the presentation and on posters
Gotta agree with this owner- my 2016 MX P100 w 140k miles is holding up incredibly well. Warranty covered front strut issues and I upgraded the MCU to the new version- otherwise the car is impressive and it’s my daily driver- plus 4x long trips every year. Would love to know where he got the seals for the wing doors? The exterior rubber used disintegrated early on but I have no water leaks at all- interested what he did there?
what is the statistics for tesla car that just suddenly stop on the road for a reason except for battery soc and accident? Cause common anxiety for old ice cars are likes overheating, ignition coil problems, spark plug, coolant leaks, losing compression, damaged piston, etc?
9:55 At least in Germany we have no law that obliges you to take the tow hitch off when you don't pull a trailer. You are only liable for damages that would not have occurred if there was no tow hitch attached and the other driver would have to prove that. Since it's kind of hard to prove that a car rear-ending another car would not get damaged the chances for the other driver would be very low. Even if the other driver can prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the damages where significantly increased by the tow hitch, he would not get his total damages paid because german law provides that the damage is split between the driver at fault (Schuldhaftung) and the driver who increased the risk that higher damages occur (Gefährdungshaftung) by a court-determined quota. In most cases the driver at fault has to pay at least 80% of the damages even if the other driver significantly increased the risk. Other countries have different laws though and I know that in some countries in Europe it can even be a ticketable offence not to remove the hitch after towing.
@@KristianKratochvil Was this a court decision or based on an out of court agreement with the other party involved in the accident? There are very few court decisions on this topic in Germany because the driver that rear-ends you and his insurance know that the chances to win the case are quite low.
@@felixklusener5530 I am not a German citizens, the Police got immediately involved and on spot got fine of 300€. Afterwards I got letter from insurance and attorney. My attorney recommended to settle
@@KristianKratochvil I see. It can be hard to get justice if you are from another country, don't know the laws, how the system works there and perhaps don't even understand the language. Unfortunately some police officers don't know the law either. In this case police often gets confused by §30c STVZO which says that you can't have any items attached to the car that unnecessarily obstruct or endanger traffic. But in an annex to the law you can find a reference to an EU regulation and that regulation says that mirrors and tow hitches are no attachments in the meaning of this regulation. Unfortunately most officers just read the §30c and not the annex. They just assume that there was a violation of the law but in fact it was no violation. The insurance on the other hand sees that the police noticed a ticketable violation in connection with the accident and that you didn't take any actions against it. Of course they give it a try to save money and get parts of the damages from you. The only way to get out of this situation is a lawyer specialized in german traffic laws. A friend of mine had almost the same struggle with law enforcement and insurance after her car got rear-ended in Dortmund. She hired a lawyer who successfully challenged the polices ticket and later wrote a letter with his legal opinion to the other drivers insurance and that his client would be willing to bring the case to court if the insurance refuses to pay. Just two days later the insurance came to the conclusion better not to fight in court and paied the whole damage plus the legal fees.
That seems like an incredibly dumb law or one that was made back when cars had bumpers that were able to actually bump into things without damage. Cars today crumple like paper so if they would have hit your bumper, they would have had to have it all replaced.
Especially these days it is something that makes the car even more valuable despite the slow charging. My second car is Model Y, but when there is no time pressure I take the old fat lady Model X.
Probably not if I will keep driving it the same way as till now. But if you consider that in average in US are cars driven about 10k miles in a year, I simulated 20 years on roads
Even though Tesla is very interesting. I'd rather just buy a Toyota right now and when 200,000 miles comes... I won't even think about it and just look forward to the next 200,000 miles which it is almost guaranteed to do. These things should be extremely more reliable for me to buy one and also, extremely cheaper to fix when the break. The last 500,000 miles that I've driven in my current cars, I really only spent about $700 in repairs. I don't consider brake pads, tires and oil changes to be repair. Extremely reliable cars.
If you drive a lot and can charge at home the fuel savings can more than pay for the vehicle. Tesla total cost operational cost per km is very close to 1/2 a Toyota or any comparable gas vehicle. CyberCab will take that to 1/4, or less than the gas for a gas car. This is the most enabling metric and the reason ice will die.
All cars benefit with the use of RUST CHECK by Rustolium. This is a light oil that's used to coat the undercarriage but is excellent for internal panels and fasteners. Repels water, prevents rust..Cheap and you can apply it yourself NOT ON BRAKE ROTORS OR PADS though!
I'am curious is the Tesla quiet or just the same as any normal car for road noise coming from the tire and wind noise from the windows as you are using a smartphone mic so not sure if it picking up more than normal sound level.
@@marinaely2165 #Kassandra has to endure a lot with me. In my work I have to visit installations which are off the tarmac roads. It is not much in comparison to the daily driving, but each day it is a 2-3 kilometers.
The fact that this car does not have an electric tow hitch is beyond me… ours ended up almost rusting in place, cause I was too lazy to remove it 😅 now we drive without it almost all the time.
@@KristianKratochvil ours was stuck pretty badly, but a hard hit on top of the “cone” with a normal hammer, while holding underneath, was enough to shake it loose.

Hi, this is my car. We used wrong term, this is not rust of the chassis. It is corrosion defect of the paint job. Yes, even so this should have never happened, but it is not progressive and I simply do not care

I have never seen X built before 2020 without the paint peeling off the spoiler. I noticed it after the warranty and Tesla said the paint warranty covers only body panels
Hi ... as long as the repairs and replacements by Tesla had been done, the mileage was never more than 25.000 miles ... than I went to a third party shop and my next service was after about 100,000 miles ... it was about 1800 EUR
Well apparently some countries because in the Netherlands you can get cars with a fixed tow hitch. if it was not allowed in whole Europe to drive the whole time with your tow hitch on. it would be not available.
Everyone keep selling the battery for being able to last 150,000 miles. But the real challenge is not abt the mileage, but time. How well will the battery chemistry last 15 years or even 20 years after manufacture?? If you need to pay 30k$ for a new battery every 8-10 years, not that interesting...
Any modern car, especially Toyota, easily runs over 200k+ miles just by doing nothing but the oil change, break pad, aux battery, and the usual stuffs. 200k is a pretty standard because we have nearly perfected the arts of manufacturing a gas-engine vehicle. If one would simply make a car to last over 300k miles, they certainly can. With that said, Tesla motor can last more a million miles +, provide that you don’t do anything stupid and do some necessary maintenance. There is a guy in 🇳🇿 or Australia 🇦🇺 who has driven the Tesla for over a million miles and of course, he had to replace the battery at some point but the car still runs fine
To the Model X owners here: Do you have problems with the 6 seat configuration when having things in the trunk? I'm thinking about getting a used 2020 model X but am concerned about greeting my groceries or other luggage when braking.
That came with 20" wheels, but now has more rubber but did not say what size tires on it now. I would want to go with the more rubber route myself, skinny tires suck.
Is there a registry with high mileage teslas and other stats. If it's not recommended to fully charge a tesla then I think it's false advertisement to give the full range at 100% battery.

@@snakeeyes9246 some of the experts actually claim supercharging is good for the battery. The conventional wisdom may not be accurate. He may be preserving his battery instead of abusing it.
Not 100% surprised on the low degradation -- time is as much of a killer as high mileage. But it's glad to know mileage alone + lots of supercharging isn't a killer..
Yeah most folks I talk to about battery deg get their information from the deg NiCad batteries had in the old Prius. Li based batteries with any sort of thermal management will last longer than folks hold onto a typical ICE car today.
DC fast charging is hurting the battery a bit. Fortunately mine pack got lucky in chemistry lottery. But I know the odds are in favour that the battery will sustain some damage. I am simply doing way too much miles and charging
@@anydaynow01 Most folks I talk to take a worst case scenario they heard about somewhere and apply that "knowledge" to all EVs. Otherwise known as haters.
I've also seen Tesla's with 50k miles and 80-85% battery capacity left tho.. Not sure what to believe here.
@@maxjames00077 the initial degradation via time is steep then it slows down.
Nice video with Christian von Koenigsegg. He’s always very good at explaining the techincalities and cars overall!
I wish I was just as knowledgeable and handsome and of course rich as the Christian you mentioned ;-)
Love this Slovakian guy with German accent fluent in English.
Thank you very much :-) actually English was my first foreign language, unfortunately in couple last years I have very few opportunities to speak English. And since I live and work for last 7 years mostly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland where is primarily German spoken, you naturally pick up the sounds.

I could still blame my foreign language ignorance and my confused mind got lost in translation 😂
Good thing to see a happy owner and a reliable car! My ‘16 facelift MS 70 hold up well with 129k miles. Degradation is so low (less than 10%)that I would not call it a degradation!
Congratulations on your S70 👍
2008 BMW X5 here is 220 miles. This truck as of now gets 11 miles to the gallon, has had around 10k in maintenance and as of now is burning oil internally which according to the dealership costs $7700 to fix.
Only reason why I have not gotten rid of it is because the it is paid for and CyberTruck was delayed. Ordered my CyberTruck in November 2019.
Just though I would share that perspective.
Excellent video and congrats the gentlemen on 200,000 miles!! I had a 2020 MX but traded it for MX refresh 2022 which I am loving, yoke and all.
Thank you ... I have the Refresh on order since day one of reveal, unfortunately it doesn't look that Tesla will start to make deliveries in Europe any time soon
It's nice to see the car holding up so well. Battery degradation is low, and interior materials have held up nicely too. And he tows once a week with it! There were a lot of questions about reliability and longevity, and this car answered those questions. It's a testimony to how well-made the Tesla is.
Thanks for watching and comment ;-) It is my tool for work
Dang! I'm still shy of 200k, I'm currently at 186k miles on my 2013 Tesla Model S P85+, can still charge up to 233 miles at full charge when I do so, so about 12% battery degradation. As a Tesla Tech I'm gonna try to keep this thing going for a very very long time.
Happy to hear that you still enjoy your car. Please be aware, that the Performance vehicles from those days suffer from coolant leakage into the rear drive unit. Start looking for a third party shop where they can refurbish the drive unit,since Tesla asks stupidly money for refurbished drive units.
@@KristianKratochvil oh I am very aware. Everytime a older Model S performance comes in for a drive unit isolation fault it's guaranteed that's the issue. I work for Tesla and work on the vehicles my man.
@@KristianKratochvil at 190k miles now.
@@dylangonzalez8812 I very nearly bought a brand new Model 3 RWD, the base. But then I found a 2014 Model S p85 with 31k miles on it for 29k with completely FREE supercharging. It still goes about 260 on a full charge. Very happy with the purchase. The new Model 3s are smaller, 272 miles of range so only 12 miles more, and have to pay for supercharging.

Great vid, I normally don't watch longer 20 minute yt clips but that did not seem like 20 minutes! I have a 78k mile '17 100 as well. That lounge is awesome btw! And hello from Texas!!! 👋
Hallo from Slovakia ;-) there are a few such a Lounges across Europe. A few of them even nicer
Hello I traveled back to my country from Texas yesterday...
I'm starting to have melancholy...
Wow, impressive performance and longevity in the MX. Love the silver and Tesla needs to bring it back. My wife's M3 is silver and we love the color.
I wanted to get silver TM3 as well but unfortunately it was never officially available in Europe. Nowadays I just hope that Giga Berlin will start to produce Liquid Silver TMY soon
Mega old man color! Looks better with black trim and wheels but still!
@@Itsme-fn9mc I don't care about the looks, I prefer the easy maintenance
@@KristianKratochvil Tesla makes Quick silver model Y's at Giga berlin now.
@@lachlanB323 since I live in Europe I have already seen and got a chance to drive few of quicksilver vehicles. It is the best color option for Model Y in my opinion. For the X the standard white or the new Ultra Red are sweet as well. But I imagine that quicksilver on Model X would be just WOW
I have nearly 185,000 miles on my 2017 silver model X 90D and it has very similar qualities. I drive in the Chicago area and have not noticed the corrosion. Had to get a new AC and steering linkage that failed about 1 year ago. I find the rubber trim around the FWDs to be very bad quality and Tesla does not offer a reasonably priced kit but insists the owner pay $1K or more to replace the upper FWD window (which has new replacement trim attached). Other than that it's holding up very well with normal battery degradation. I still love driving it and use FSD on my daily commutes.
Hi ... congratulations on your silver whale ;-) The issues you describe are typical for early models before small facelift. Except for the steering rack, that has been solved late 2018. I got lucky, just the joint has to be replaced but it is like 70 EUR plus labour.
I've also seen Tesla's with 50k miles and 80-85% battery capacity left tho.. Not sure what to believe here.
Can I get an update on the car now? Any failures? Do you ever drive above low/standard suspension setting?
Late to this video but very interesting none the less. I just today ordered a used 2018 Model X 6 seater with 48K miles on the ODO for $38K from Tesla. I have had a Cybertruck on order since 2019 and leased a Model Y LR as a place holder vehicle. My interest in Cybertruck has diminished significantly since the start of production with the $20K price increase (from the 2019 estimates) and then the $20K Founders Edition $ bump put it at $90K for the DM which made me rethink the entire proposition. Last week I test drove a silver (also my fav Tesla color) 2017 Model X with 103,213 miles on the ODO at a nearby Toyota dealership and loved the car. It had a 7 seat setup (I prefer the 6) so after some haggling I refused their final $31K offer.
The Model X I bought today isn't silver (2017 was the last year) but it my 2nd favorite color and has a Tesla 1yr, 10K mile full warranty and a couple more years for the battery and drivetrain. It also has better 20" sonic carbon wheels and 6 seats with a hell of a lot less miles. Both have Advanced Autopilot and barring any major issues it will be my daily driver and road tripping car for the foreseeable future. I'm aware of the control arms issue and will deal with that under warranty with Tesla as needed and eventually replace them with the after market kit that better address the issue.
Just bought a 2018 Model S 100d with 120,000 miles. No issues, 380miles of range at 100%. The previous owner clearly took care of it. Only issues are 1 rim was cracked and LED trim lights in headlight units are going out.
How is the charging curve on v3 Supercharger 10-50%?
314k later.. same pack but 4th rear motor.. Great car
This might get me crucified but it sounds to me like Tesla has the drivetrain nailed and they need to partner with someone like Toyota for all the other bits. As stellar as 200k miles is, having to replace door seals yearly just sounds incredibly annoying. My 17 year old Prius is on original everything.
In fairness, Toyota backed out of their relationship with Tesla. So that's maybe not the best partnership example. But hopefully the point came across.
And let me tell that even I agree, that Teslas are not very good cars in comparison to particular brands. But Tesla is as a package is still one of the best electric cars on market. In some cases not the best electric car for specific uses and regions, but in general for 80% of drivers is the easiest choice
I think he's replacing yearly, because he does is himself, as to adjust rear door, with his schedule - waste of time, as I understood no Tesla support in their country as yet
@@vladzis the issue here is that you shouldn't be replacing seals really ever lol. They should be good for the life of the car.
Water ingress in the trunk? None of this would fly among almost any other big brand.
@@belavet I've got W220 MB S class 10 years ago, it had water ingress inside of the trunk as well, not sure what's the reason here in Tesla, but on mine it was failed tail light seal, and MB wasn't selling it as a separate part, I needed to replace whole tail light to sort it out.
I also have 3000GT (1993), and it's not watertight as well, where door glass meet rubber (Tesla's also having frameless windows).
@@vladzis I'm gonna be real here, I'd call that poor design/materials as well. The BMW doesn't get a pass from me 😆
It's why I say they should partner with a solid car company that has vehicles in the road that are multiple decades old. Tesla's goal (apparently) isn't even to be a luxury car maker.
Congratulations 🎉 on passing the 200K milestone. Thanks for the ownership recap.

I have a ‘15 Model S 85D that’s done 320.000km in Norway you guys can check out next time you’re here if you’d like.
Impressive. Have you changed any batteries? And what is the degradation?

@@Frygisk Still have the Model S? A good way to calculate battery degradation is looking at the kwh added at a super charger. Really good if you go from empty to full, but even just calculating by the % should be decent.
Just a comment on the pod for a chilled out break, they have expanded as I’ve seen one in Los Angeles near sunset Blvd, tens of chargers with the coded door for the pod
I own a new 2017 Model X. 60,000 miles and never been to service center. Only maintenance are tires. Feels still new. No rattles or squeaks.
My paint still looks great as well as seats
No problems with falcon doors. Black leather looks new. I guess they have switched to vinyl
7 seat configuration
I still recommend to get suspension alignment done outside of Tesla
@@KristianKratochvil Have you got the alignment from AT Zimmermann?
We need to start asking more about tire replacements over these high mileage vehicles as I’m seeing a higher turnover from the boards. Understandable, but it’s nice to accumulate the data.
You can run an MX on pickup truck tires just fine and they don’t carry the same premium that performance SUV’s command.
The suspension setting from factory is really crap, tires could not hold more than 20-30k km. After some adjustments by somebody who understands Tesla suspension I can do over 60k kms (40k miles)
@@rosmarin2438 in Europe you mustn't mount any other dimensions of tire that there are on Certificate of Conformity from manufacturer. It is not problem of rubber quality, but the suspension geometry sucks and is ripping and shredding the tires
@@KristianKratochvil yeah great tip, from the factory Model X eats the inside of the back tires when driving on low suspension
@@matteocomelli9587 exactly and unfortunately in Tesla Service they will it adjust it in accordance with the manual. You need to set the geometry for low / very low. Tesla sets it in Normal what than actually wears the half shaft down
My Model X P100D Ludrious always have door issues when it is in hot sun. Front doors would only open an inch if they sense hot temperatures; and the Falcon Wing doors also refuse to open if the sensors on the doors sense approximately over 80F and I live in SF Bay Area where my local weather is about 80F to 100F during July to October months. It is a constant hassle, especially embarrassing when bystanders watch my family struggle to get either in or out of the car. Also rattle is annoying. Tesla uses lot of plastic pieces for its interior and exterior trims. The plastic pieces harden over time as they are exposed to sun and harsh weather, they creak and rattle when the Model X goes over uneven road surfaces. It is a bit annoying especially for an otherwise quiet electric car. My rear motor failed at 42,000 miles. It was repaired under warranty, else the cost originally quoted via the Tesla app was $6,700 USD. Good luck. I am trading in my Model X for the Lucid Gravity SUV once it will become available. Oh and there is no power frunk opening for a high-end car and if your hands are full, you have to put your stuff down on the floor, then get your app or the physical keys to have either the frunk lid or trunk lid open, a bit annoying when your hands are full. Also, after driving long distance for a trip, the frunk lid is dirty with insects, you have to wear gloves to open or close the frunk lid else your hands will be very dirty. And in hot weather, try touch the frunk lid, it burns your hands too. For such an expensive car, it lacks lot of basic features you find in other similarly prices vehicles. Poor Tesla quality as well, as I have six panels which are mis-aligned from day one. Tesla says cannot adjust them anymore without compromising other sides of the panels and create other issues. OMG. I took delivery due to I really wanted to show off to friends at that time 5 years ago. I do regret ordering the Tesla somehow due to its poor quality and lack of features that a pricey vehicle supposed to have. Oh, the Tesla Service Center is a sub-par experience too. Be ready to get you car back with lots of dirty interior and exterior. Everytime, we can the car back after service it is very very dirty. The loaner cars from Tesla Service center are dirty too. Every time, we can the car back after service it is very very dirty. The loaner cars from Tesla Service center are dirty too. Almost forget, front upper suspension failed twice ( a known defect of Model X performance models for 2020 years and before ). Rear brake light has water condensation and Tesla says it is "within specs" so Tesla refuses to fix. Give me a break.
Whenever I see high mileage videos, I'm equally concerned with time. I want to see the users who drive
Never going to happen. Tesla makes changes and upgrades that change performance, efficiency, safety, etc. dailey. There is no easy comparison over time.
the tow hook does not need to be hidden all the time for all countries in the EU. Maybe some specific insurances request this. In case of a rear ending car, it depends of who is on fault who needs to pay the damages.
GREAT REVIEW.....FILLED WITH USEFUL INFORMATION AND AN HONEST ASSESSMENT OF THE VEHICLE.....THANKS.....
I am the owner, ask me anything
It’s amazing that SUV has a trade in value of $22,000. It is great shape and should hold up for many more years.
Great video, love this type of content. I'm planning to keep my Model 3 SR+ for as long as possible and wonder if age will show anything any different as I'm only doing less than 10k miles a year. Bunch of little annoying issues with things like rear lights full of water (had my 6th replacement light fitted by a ranger today)
Hi ... I have experience with 3s as well. The degradation at the beginning is much higher than with S/X because of other chemistry. But after initial drop the line flattens and is very gentle. I could observe 0,5-1% per year caused by age
My 2018 Model X P100D with Lubricous Plus had its rear motor replaced under warranty at 70,800 miles. The motor went dead suddenly and waited for 2.5 hours for a tow truck due to it was almost 9pm. Front upper control arm (left side) also broke. It was replaced at 45,000 miles. Front seats show lots of cracks and wrinkles. Tesla's should use longer lasting materials for the seats. Other than these, my Model X now has 90,000 miles and seems to be driving well and smooth. Yet, Tesla quality is a hit and miss. It really varies a lot from one Tesla to another. Mine also had interior rattle noise when going over speed humps and very uneven road surfaces. Hope mine will last at least 200,000 miles without anymore problems since my warranty will be out by 100,000 miles.
unfortunately there are construction issues with Large Drive Unit, all old S/X performance vehicles. eventually those drive units will fail.
Tesla warranty 10yr/150k miles?
@@thayalansuntharalingamthe limited vehicle warranty is 4 years or 80.000 km. The powertrain / battery has 8 years without a kilometre limit. This was for old cars, such as mine, till june 2019.

Hi, this is my car. If you have questions, I would be happy to provide answers.
Thanks Kyle and Christian. What a beautiful car. Definitely would love Tesla to bring back silver.
Thanks for the nice comment! I completely agree with you, I miss the silver option as well. I am very curious what kind of silver will be produced in Berlin, there are rumors could be identical to that Model 3 preproduction vehicle during the presentation and on posters
9:52 appreciate that little tow hitch fact!
Gotta agree with this owner- my 2016 MX P100 w 140k miles is holding up incredibly well. Warranty covered front strut issues and I upgraded the MCU to the new version- otherwise the car is impressive and it’s my daily driver- plus 4x long trips every year. Would love to know where he got the seals for the wing doors? The exterior rubber used disintegrated early on but I have no water leaks at all- interested what he did there?
Great video! Judging by your calculations if I get one, it will be about a quarter of the cost to run compared to my ICE Kia Rio.
I know this car and the owner. I can confirm everything he said. I did a similar interview with him on my YT.
what is the statistics for tesla car that just suddenly stop on the road for a reason except for battery soc and accident? Cause common anxiety for old ice cars are likes overheating, ignition coil problems, spark plug, coolant leaks, losing compression, damaged piston, etc?
9:55 At least in Germany we have no law that obliges you to take the tow hitch off when you don't pull a trailer. You are only liable for damages that would not have occurred if there was no tow hitch attached and the other driver would have to prove that. Since it's kind of hard to prove that a car rear-ending another car would not get damaged the chances for the other driver would be very low. Even if the other driver can prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the damages where significantly increased by the tow hitch, he would not get his total damages paid because german law provides that the damage is split between the driver at fault (Schuldhaftung) and the driver who increased the risk that higher damages occur (Gefährdungshaftung) by a court-determined quota. In most cases the driver at fault has to pay at least 80% of the damages even if the other driver significantly increased the risk.
Other countries have different laws though and I know that in some countries in Europe it can even be a ticketable offence not to remove the hitch after towing.
I got rear-ended in Rosenheim, I had to pay 50% of repair
@@KristianKratochvil Was this a court decision or based on an out of court agreement with the other party involved in the accident?
There are very few court decisions on this topic in Germany because the driver that rear-ends you and his insurance know that the chances to win the case are quite low.
@@felixklusener5530 I am not a German citizens, the Police got immediately involved and on spot got fine of 300€. Afterwards I got letter from insurance and attorney. My attorney recommended to settle
@@KristianKratochvil I see. It can be hard to get justice if you are from another country, don't know the laws, how the system works there and perhaps don't even understand the language. Unfortunately some police officers don't know the law either. In this case police often gets confused by §30c STVZO which says that you can't have any items attached to the car that unnecessarily obstruct or endanger traffic. But in an annex to the law you can find a reference to an EU regulation and that regulation says that mirrors and tow hitches are no attachments in the meaning of this regulation.
Unfortunately most officers just read the §30c and not the annex. They just assume that there was a violation of the law but in fact it was no violation.
The insurance on the other hand sees that the police noticed a ticketable violation in connection with the accident and that you didn't take any actions against it. Of course they give it a try to save money and get parts of the damages from you.
The only way to get out of this situation is a lawyer specialized in german traffic laws.
A friend of mine had almost the same struggle with law enforcement and insurance after her car got rear-ended in Dortmund. She hired a lawyer who successfully challenged the polices ticket and later wrote a letter with his legal opinion to the other drivers insurance and that his client would be willing to bring the case to court if the insurance refuses to pay. Just two days later the insurance came to the conclusion better not to fight in court and paied the whole damage plus the legal fees.
That seems like an incredibly dumb law or one that was made back when cars had bumpers that were able to actually bump into things without damage. Cars today crumple like paper so if they would have hit your bumper, they would have had to have it all replaced.
Autobahngate is very real on old S/X… or as I experienced, North Dakota-gate.
They do have Tesla owners only rest and coffee places in the us. It works the same way where you get a code to enter.
hi, where have you seen them?
Had a honda civic 479.000 miles NO PROBLEMS
All I know is here in joplin Missouri I'm seeing more and more teslas!
Free Supercharging is *so* valuable in Europe.
Especially these days it is something that makes the car even more valuable despite the slow charging. My second car is Model Y, but when there is no time pressure I take the old fat lady Model X.
I’m more interested to know if it will last 20 years, like the cars I’ve owned.
Probably not if I will keep driving it the same way as till now. But if you consider that in average in US are cars driven about 10k miles in a year, I simulated 20 years on roads
Wonder how much time he spent at superchargers total vs gas stations with ICE.
Great to see this video. Have to agree, no better seats than Volvo
I still dream about my old XC70 wagon
Even though Tesla is very interesting. I'd rather just buy a Toyota right now and when 200,000 miles comes... I won't even think about it and just look forward to the next 200,000 miles which it is almost guaranteed to do. These things should be extremely more reliable for me to buy one and also, extremely cheaper to fix when the break. The last 500,000 miles that I've driven in my current cars, I really only spent about $700 in repairs. I don't consider brake pads, tires and oil changes to be repair. Extremely reliable cars.
If you drive a lot and can charge at home the fuel savings can more than pay for the vehicle. Tesla total cost operational cost per km is very close to 1/2 a Toyota or any comparable gas vehicle. CyberCab will take that to 1/4, or less than the gas for a gas car. This is the most enabling metric and the reason ice will die.
Bought a model Y and its amazing to drive
All cars benefit with the use of RUST CHECK by Rustolium. This is a light oil that's used to coat the undercarriage but is excellent for internal panels and fasteners. Repels water, prevents rust..Cheap and you can apply it yourself NOT ON BRAKE ROTORS OR PADS though!
Hi Kristian, quick question, if i may? Are the 90D Model X's that inferior to the 100's? Was just about to buy a 90!?
I'am curious is the Tesla quiet or just the same as any normal car for road noise coming from the tire and wind noise from the windows as you are using a smartphone mic so not sure if it picking up more than normal sound level.
Just like any Tesla before 2020 they get wind noise above 130kph.
And the part we drove on was concrete autobahn, very noisy surface

Yeah ... probably I will not be able to detach it ever again.
@@KristianKratochvil ours was stuck pretty badly, but a hard hit on top of the “cone” with a normal hammer, while holding underneath, was enough to shake it loose.

Rust issues on a 5 year old car is unbelievable.Tesla need to get on top of this issue.
Hi, this is my car. We used wrong term, this is not rust of the chassis. It is corrosion defect of the paint job. Yes, even so this should have never happened, but it is not progressive and I simply do not care
With a bathroom that if the door is open while you’re taking a leak, you’re exposing yourself. Nice design!
Get over yourself, most of are humans ;-)

Haha, ja som nič nespravil ;-) hviezdou je auto
Spoiler corrosion is extremely common in Minnesota too.
I have never seen X built before 2020 without the paint peeling off the spoiler. I noticed it after the warranty and Tesla said the paint warranty covers only body panels
And they brought back the Silver paint for the Model S and X. 👍
There is an advantage to V3 charger, not shared
Yes, but we spoke purely about charging speed
How long last the front suspension and how much cost the replacement?
Hi ... as long as the repairs and replacements by Tesla had been done, the mileage was never more than 25.000 miles ... than I went to a third party shop and my next service was after about 100,000 miles ... it was about 1800 EUR
It's missing the detailed replacements/costs list
My 2005 e46 coupe had no rust after 17 years, but that’s bmw for you, i think its pretty rare to see a modern car rust so hopefully my model 3 lasts.
we described it wrong, it is not rust
3:40 to skip the ad!
Waiting for my model X to arrive.
I charge my model X with solar/powerwall at home on Hawaii with expensive electricity. I save $600/month on home electricity and gas using solar.
Before I went electric I spent about 11-13k per year for gas and maintenance
How much time did you spend charging the battery in those 200,000 miles?
It is in average 1 hour per day of ownership
Was the battery changed?
No its 10 percent degraded after 200k miles
No, still on the first battery. According to BMS data it is 90,2% capacity
Well apparently some countries because in the Netherlands you can get cars with a fixed tow hitch. if it was not allowed in whole Europe to drive the whole time with your tow hitch on. it would be not available.
Everyone keep selling the battery for being able to last 150,000 miles.
But the real challenge is not abt the mileage, but time. How well will the battery chemistry last 15 years or even 20 years after manufacture??
If you need to pay 30k$ for a new battery every 8-10 years, not that interesting...
In 15-20 years you’ll be able to get a 200 kWh battery with the same size and weight, and at a modest cost.
So impressive car, I still want one.
Get a refresh or Model Y ... I got Y as my second car and love it too
I love the doors. But come Elon have you not heard about galvanised steel.?
1:30 to add on Soldotna alaska is another hosted with tesla sponsoring one
Amazing Model X. Incredible!!!!
Any modern car, especially Toyota, easily runs over 200k+ miles just by doing nothing but the oil change, break pad, aux battery, and the usual stuffs.
200k is a pretty standard because we have nearly perfected the arts of manufacturing a gas-engine vehicle.
If one would simply make a car to last over 300k miles, they certainly can.
With that said, Tesla motor can last more a million miles +, provide that you don’t do anything stupid and do some necessary maintenance.
There is a guy in 🇳🇿 or Australia 🇦🇺 who has driven the Tesla for over a million miles and of course, he had to replace the battery at some point but the car still runs fine
To the Model X owners here: Do you have problems with the 6 seat configuration when having things in the trunk? I'm thinking about getting a used 2020 model X but am concerned about greeting my groceries or other luggage when braking.
Yes you need to be considered what and how you store it. I removed the cover and try to store all small lose things in the big hole
@@KristianKratochvil thanks for the reply!!
Get the trunk cover of the 5 seater and place it vertically behind the 2nd row; part# 1061246-00-D
What about the climbing wall? Very cool.
What year it it?
How much gasoline would have been transferred from far a way for a petrol or a diesel car for 200 thousand miles driven ?
Easy calculation
@@KristianKratochvil absolutely
Fantastic car!🤩 Will never sell my -18 100D
we wil not sell the X as well, but we definitely will get the new X as well
That came with 20" wheels, but now has more rubber but did not say what size tires on it now. I would want to go with the more rubber route myself, skinny tires suck.
In Europe you can fir only sizes that are approved by th Certicicate of Conformity by the manufacturer. For this X I could use also the 265 / 55 R19
@@KristianKratochvil What size wheels are you using? 9.0Jx19" 40 offset?
@@firassabbagh9099 I am not sure, those are standard 19" rims

What is the voltage of the battery and kw
400V and it is marked as 100kWh from Tesla
Is there a registry with high mileage teslas and other stats. If it's not recommended to fully charge a tesla then I think it's false advertisement to give the full range at 100% battery.
Hey I like to know if you ever going to test drive a Cadillac lyric anytime soon or whenever you get a chance to appreciate it
damn and our 2021 Model 3 squeaks and rattle. That guy was lucky
I have there squeaks and some rattle, but it is nothing disturbing and all the car needs is some regular maintenance
