Your video is the most informative by far. Others pretend to be pros, but they just talk about the basics.
We need independent dealers such as yourself both for info and to see and discuss used cars!
Hands down the best video for anyone considering one of the Model X variants. Info dense and very professionally presented.
One of the most knowledgeable, and informal reviews I've ever seen. I definitely subscribed, thanks!
Thank you for making this video! It was very informative and helped me properly assess a remote Model X purchase.
just ordered mine preowned from tesla. will remember this vid when I go pick it up. cheers!
Thank you, as always. You are so informed and offer invaluable insights. Excellent
THANK YOU!!!! 😍 in not a long time (when he retires) it will be really handy for my dad 😃
Outstanding presentation from a Tesla Model X expert! Thanks!
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!
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%
Brilliant info, thankyou. Very in depth. 👍👍👍
This got to be the most comprehensive video on Model X.
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.
That was informative. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
we just bought a 2017 Model X 90D, great video you've made here!!
THANK YOU!!!
Great presentation Thanks
We’ll done with the details! Excellent!!!
Thank you excellent buyers guide just what I needed to know
No worries thanks for the nice comment!
Great video, really informative, very much appreciated👍👍👏👏
An excellent and succinct demonstration. Best I've seen.
This is simply superb. such a good informative video. thanks a tonne mate.
Informative - cheers
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! ❤️
Great - love it - fits many people 😂😂 best Tesla
Great review and feedback on buying guide. Thanks a lot.
Great information thanks.
Very informative, thanks. I’m currently considering swapping my model Y for a model X.
Thank you!!!
This was a thorough review
Thanks!
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"?
nice video thanks!
Damn..u got with at the intro for a couple of seconds 😂
Great video
Vera helpful video !
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.
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 .. 😀
Thank you ever so much for your kind words and for sharing the videos 🤗.
hahah the intro was hilarious!
very educational. cheers. don't suppose you have a p100d with free charging in stock ?
Hey did you guys do one of these for Model Y ? Can't find one. I really enjoyed this
Another great one guys.
🤗 thank you
Brilliant.
I would NOT trust a colleague to let me out of the frunk/boot! Mark is a lucky man.
Very very good video. Thanks for sharing. I will be coming to see you soon.
Ah thanks! We’re no presenters but do our best! Thanks for the nice comment, appreciated.
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.....
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.
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 😌
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?).
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?
What fix do you recommend for the acceleration shutter?
We bought our Tesla x from you! Just very happy with our purchase 🚘 The car is stunning!
How’s the car holding up?
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
Awesome channel!
Thanks very much 😊
🤣🤣🤣 Great start. Thanks for all the advice and video. Watching from Portugal 🇵🇹🍷
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?
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
Does anyone know if you can do Retro fit a tow bar to a 2017 model X?
Maybe the famous shudder issue with the MX and the fact there’s no solution available might have deserved some more airtime..
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.
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 😊
Nice to know you guys have very high standards I’ve just bought a model 3 from yourselves all black 215 miles on the clock can’t wait to get it next week 😊🔋
I’ll be delivering it myself 🤝
How much did you pay?
@@Medea007 bit personal mate
What about the Display issues? I read there are two versions. One with the apps which works, the otherone fails eventually.
2016 90d with enhanced autopilot? Under 60k think it’s a good option?
No mention of the windshield wiper issue?
We have a 6 seat 2017 P100D, so all the best stuff like cooling seats and moving spoiler. Still a fantastic car in all senses, won’t be selling it any time soon - 100% range around 320 miles. Issues have been tyre wear due to the previous software not defaulting to standard height. Worried about water ingress but so far so good. Amazing car to drive and the only thing close is an MS, which is the best all round vehicle on the planet Cannot see any reason to “upgrade” - certainly not for the M3 style screen. It is a future classic, but the maintenance costs between now and then are a little intimidating.
What's maintenance costs concern you?
How often do you need to change the tyres?
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? :/
I’m buying a 2017 90d long range…… it seems in excellent condition and has 77k on the clock. Any tips?
Buying a second hand Tesla private is Dangerous enough, but from a dealer, who love to cover up issues is crazy!!
? You are covered by consumer law incl right to return etc. But I do say you have to buy from a good and reputable dealer. Plenty out there that probably are not so.
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.
In the uk there are a few options from third party providers incl Helvetia who basically extend the Tesla one.
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! :)
How many years old is too much for a model x right now?
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.
great Video, Thank you. I am told the super chargers are free again for the S and X new owners, it is true ?
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
LOVE the humour!
Is a 17 reg car advertised with FREE supercharging transferable with changed ownership possible. You seem imply NO?
14:30 is where the problems to look out for is.
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.
Model 3 video coming soon!
great video - wish i had watched it before my purchase as i have both the issues - shudder and squeak! i have a 75d and drive very carefully i only get 150-mile range - what am i doing wrong??
Mine gets about 210. Try discharging the battery to as low as possible and charge to full to re calibrate the software.
Could you already fix this issue?
Love the chanel its great! :)
Thank you 🤗
Great video....do you service Tesla’s or just sell them 🙂👍
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
@@RSEV Ok nice one cheers 👍
Expecting my 2016 P90D next week!! Without ludicrous which mine will mot have, do you know approximate 0-60mph? I can’t find that anywhere.
4.0 sec. See de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_X#Technische_Daten (that table is not availabe on the Englisch version, just use Google translator)
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?
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.
Do you have a website please? Where is the showroom based please? Considering a model X because diesel prices are crazy..

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
Have you already found a solution?
@@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 guide! Do you think the bad rap Tesla gets on “reliability” is unfair? A couple of reports have it at the bottom of the scale and I haven’t been able to find any information on why, particularly!
Consumer reports rated it as unreliable because of panel gaps and that ended any credibility CR had.
I wish you told us the year of the Tesla you keep saying early car but no year
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
Thank you
Shame about leather disappearing
This is nice how much is it to get it imported to Kenya
pro tip: play at 1.25 or 1.5 speed
👌🏽
Watching your channel today I found very informative, well produced and all electric it’s great business model! 👍
That intro lmao
Really want a model x .. what is the best year to buy ?
Depends on your bugdet
Lololol..The way they all kept coming out
Which year is the best to buy?
Depends on your budget
Definitely more knowledgeable than the Tesla main agent turkeys 😂
Is spelling wrong in the video title?
Looked like a clown car with all those people pouring out! Some of them had twins! 😂
Hard pass for any Tesla beyond the basic warranty expiration.
