Man, you are best. Thanks for explaining step by step what you did and everything you said is what I’m experiencing right now. Thanks for this video! Keep it up
Thanks for the positive comment! Best of luck!
@@Myksgarage thanks!
We just bought an X sight unseen from a different state. The sales guy was amazing and we take delivery next week. Thanks for the amazing video. We will be looking into the different tiny issues as they come.
Nice choice, You’ll love it!
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!
Nice! Are the falcon doors operating properly? That was my biggest issue.
@@Myksgarage Yea at first the sensors were glitching out and it wasnt opening properly but I installed a software update and it was fixed. Everything works fine now!
Good for you! this is the dream....I'm in a 2017 Model S right now looking for that exactly! 🔥🔥🔥
@@Gardenstateking oh nice!
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?
Thanks so much for making this video. We purchased a used Model X and now know which questions to ask and what to look out for.
Thanks for watching!
The help you gave was amazing. You have a great way of delivering this info in an understandable and thoughtful manner.
I appreciate your kind words!!
@@MyksgarageI agree that cars especially EV's will never be completely square but I love it.
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..
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.
I just bought a Used 2017 w FSD! Thanks to your vid for the advice! much appreciated !
Very nice!!
@@Myksgarage thanks for the video
Beautiful car! I love the color combination. The new ones are really expensive so a used one is the way to go. After this video I will definitely get a warranty. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!!
@@Myksgaragedo you still have this Model X? Do you recommend buying used?
really helpful, thanks for this content
I'm glad this helped, thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! Very helpful!!
I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing. Your video is very helpful.
Nice!
Same here with 4 kids and currently with a Honda minivan. I am getting the model X refresh in a few weeks. Hopes all little issues have been fixed on new Mx. super excited. Excellent coverage and honest video.
Thanks for your positive comment, the New X interior looks awesome, I would think Tesla has re-engineered a lot these issue. Are you getting the 6 or 7 seater?
@@Myksgarage Long range 6 seater. Since we bought the model 3 few years ago my wife and I refused/avoided driving the van…feel obsoleted/unpleasant in a gas car . Btw Just Sold my 2015 Honda Touring Elite for $27k at 50k mi.
Nice, very exciting!
Thx for this video. I just picked up a 2017 100D model X from a dealer at a great price. Just got it registered by Tesla and it also came w a previous owner 100k extended warranty and today just found out it has FSD and Tesla didnt strip it. Your video gave me a lot of info when I was buying the X. Thx. Will post a video of it soon.
Congrats on the X, you'll love it!
@@Myksgarage already do and forgotten about my2021 model 3 lr. Thx
@@ianbladuell2694 where’s that video? Curious to know more about the extended warranty and FSD. Congrats!
@@jusTOOfresh Havent done it yet. Coming soon.
Thanks for making this vid!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for all information
👍
Thank you for this informative video. Your video is unbiased, really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your positive feedback!
YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF MAINTENCE COST COMPARED TO EV.
Great video. We got the same car in 2019. It came with 4 year 50k mile used car warranty. The prior owner probably got the same warranty and it transferred to you.
Yeah that warranty is valuable!
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience, good to hear from another owner. They are awesome cars, they just have their quirks! 😀
Good video thanks for the tips
Yes! Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
LOOKS LIKE A 2023 Looks so good since no chrome i thought it was the refresh at first looks great!
Yeah the chrome Delete makes it look great!
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.
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!
Damn I want the S, but a new long range is over 90k.
I am looking To buy 2016 with free supercharging. I also want the option for FSD if I want to upgrade.
That stupid halfshaft design flaw on the Model X is costing me $3k right now.
Fab video, would have loved to know more about the extended warranty you have and also the software that you are running, whether you have all updates with sentry, dascam etc…
This had MCU and auto pilot version 1, so sentry mode, dash cam were not available because this car did not have all the cameras and no additional updates were being received for this. Thanks for watching.
This was super helpful! Thank you
Great!!
My Model S 75D is a 2017 and I dont think I'd buy anything older than late 2017 just because the autopilot hardware is completely different and not upgradeable prior to that. Mine came with AP2.5 and I've already received the 3.0 hardware upgrade. Glad you are enjoying yours and nice bit of luck on that warranty. I wanted an X, but those Falcon doors looked like a blessing and a curse. 😄
Yeah, I think you're right on with not going any older than 2017
2016 is upgradeable to the newer hardware. Dealership by me upgraded the 2016 model X hardware to where it’s now full self driving capable
What if i don't care about autopilot?
@@esmooth919You do you, but realize you get more than just driving features, like sentry mode, parking assist, etc.
love hearing you say WURRANTY. Should take a shot everytime you say it lol
It's obviously a big deal
Thank you so much Sir !! i will check vin number b4 buy !! thank you!!
👍
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.
Yeah that's a great choice, we really enjoyed our X
@@Myksgarage do you not have it anymore?
Nice video! Well said 😊
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful advice
Thank you!
Great video. Was curious if you could drop the link to the cabin air filter replacement. Thank you
Here's the one I used: amzn.to/3l8GYY6
I got 40k out of the factory tires on my 2016, still had some left. Also, never had a alignment. Drives like new. 2016 X 90d Obsidian black w/white interior 22” turbine wheels 2 years on order
40k is good on a set of tires!
I bought a model s a few years ago from tesla used and still got my 2016 unlimited charging!
That's awesome!
Makes a new video of the Tesla model X like an update on it. I was shopping around for a high miles model x
I make a video shortly on this. Thanks!
nice honest video
Thanks for watching!
The colour and wheels really help to hide the age of the car. Looks great
Thanks! Yeah the black on black really looks good
THE PROBLEM WITH THE HIBRID IS THE MAINTENANCE AFTER 3YEARS VERY EXPENSIVE. AND THERE A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOR MAINTENCE LIKE GAS, OIL, HYDRAULIC.
115000 miles on 2016 X 90D, 228 present range, and original brakes thanks to regenerative braking. Love this car!
Did you have the front drive train shaking problem like I did!
Thanks looking to buy a used 2017 tomorrow but not 100% sure yet never had an electric car.
There are some great deals out there! You'll love it! Good luck
nice review 💜
Thanks for watching!
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.
That's a good point
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.
Yeah that's smart!
What company did you use for your extended warranty?
How did you extend it?
How expensive was the chrome deletion? Thanks for the informative videos best regards from Germany
It was like $220. And it worked out pretty good
Thanks, for the video Myks, very informative. You mentioned you had the callipers painted red and added the lettering? Was there not Telsa lettering before? Who did the painting? did they have to remove the callers?
I painted them myself, I didn’t have to remove the caliper, just one wheel at a time. This was the kit I used: amzn.to/3G8kMGw
Here is a link to the video I did on the caliper painting: kzhead.info/sun/iduLnZGvaXqOon0/bejne.html
Thanks for the link I appreciate it. Were you skeptical on those stickers lasting? How are they holding up?
@@cosmiclion6765 they have held up great! Putting a layer of clear on them helps a lot. I did the same thing to a BMW and the decals lasted great owner 7 years of ownership
@@Myksgarage pretty cool It lasted that long. I did not expect it to. Now that think of it, I actually used this G2 brake paint kit on my old Car but never used Decal. Where did you get the Tesla decals from?
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?
Check you this update video: kzhead.info/sun/YKWrm86Rhp6XfGw/bejne.html
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
Is yours a 75D?
Thank you for this video does tesla offer a warenty you can purchase after expiration?
Yes they do offer an extended warranty
Video is very helpful :) the reason I didn't by tesla
Thanks for watching
I have lots of questions. Have you had any major issues since this video? How are the falcon wings holding up? And how is the Mcu , I assume it’s the first gen
No other issues. MCU 1 is slow, and at times annoying. Not sure I want to drop $2k to upgrade it though. Falcon doors are okay, occasionally they detect obstacles that are not really there. Luckily it’s still got warranty left to take care of the small things
@@Myksgarage We also bought a used 2016 Model X in 2018. Still going strong! We're definitely keeping it forever since we have free supercharging. I should mention that the infotainment upgrade is now only $1,500.
@@jaeeboom still going strong? Considering buying a 2017 with 60k miles just a little nervous but do plan on buying the extended warranty
What is your ownership strategy? How long do you plan on owning this vehicle? Do you plan on spending 20k on a battery replacement or getting rid of it before it needs a new battery?
I sold it before the the warranty expired and picked up a new model Y
Did you make a video of you painting the brake caliper
Yes I did! kzhead.info/sun/iduLnZGvaXqOon0/bejne.htmlsi=NqSxqcuD1BZFT1rz
Excellent , What about the autopilot? is slow?
No, Auto pilot is very good
All these issues truly show how expensive it’s going to be out of warranty because replacing parts is just a temporary fix to reoccurring issues.
Yes, that is why I got rid of it before the warranty expired
As of today what else need to pay attention on looking on a 2016 high mileage model X? And how’s your holding today? Thank you
I sold it after 7 months of owning it, no way I was going to keep it after the warranty expired. Check this video out: kzhead.info/sun/YKWrm86Rhp6XfGw/bejne.html
Hi, what is the normal range when you travel in a long trip with everybody in car?
On a road trip, we could probably go 185 miles tops!
@@Myksgarage Dankeschön 😉
If ur car dies and all gets black u cant put it in tow mode so u can dmg transmition when u pull it on the truck
Thanks for sharing
Seems like it was the normal ‘Drivetrain Warranty’, which is much longer than the ‘bumper-to-bumper’ warranty. That’s a standard aspect of the Tesla warranty.
Mine had an extended bumper to bumper warranty pre-paid by the previous owner
The nearest Tesla dealership to us is 1.5hrs away so doing all these repairs would be problematic for me 😔
Yeah if you own one of these you’ll want to be close to a Tesla Service Center
I live 5hrs away from Tesla and they send mobile service to me for 90 percent of things. FYI they may be able to take care of you.
I want a model x, id keep the back row down always since i dont need that many
Yeah they are sweet cars!
Why didn’t you get the free upgraded mcu? Did I miss something?
The MCU upgrade is $1,500
What would someone do if there aren’t any Tesla service centers near? Also, how much are they to insure?
Here’s a video I made for you about Insurance cost: kzhead.info/sun/hsmCqdOeq36GlZs/bejne.html
For some smaller issues they might have a mobile service in your area where they will come to you to help fix things. If you don’t live near a Tesla service center and it breaks down You’ll need to get it towed to the nearest service center however far away that is
Falcon wing doors are way smarter and better in every way than Lamborghini doors ;)
Maybe, once I get a Lambo I'll be able to make a fair comparison
My God! have the prices come down a lot in 2024. You can get 2-3 year old MX for around $48-60K. now a days.
Yeah it's crazy!
Seems like little nit pick items go bad on them, which is an indicator of not so good build quality
Exactly
So what is the warranty on a 2016 MX? It expires in 2024?
Correct, in 2024 and in the month it was delivered to the original buyer.
I kinda want a model x 75d with 156k miles for 56k but I’m just scare that something bs would happen because I want to use the car as daily driver and don’t want to deal anything
I would get a high mileage Tesla model S, you can get for under $30k
@@Myksgarage I’ll see
As a daily driver, a Model S is a great suggestions 👍😊
How’s the range on your x? When traveling
It sucks! The fully charged range stated 230miles, but we would be luck to be able to travel 160. You just have to plan accordingly, like take a gas car 😀
@@Myksgarage haha thank you! for the honest response are you thinking of upgrading to the newer longer range?
@@Myksgarage do you take a gas car going on trips more because of the range? Kind of torn now if we should get it lol Same exact model and yr like yours except smaller rims
@@DIYRealestatematchmaker we sold this model x in December 2021, we only owned it for 6 months. It's hard to road trip in this one for us, we have 4 kids so we use all 6 seats, with the third row up there was very little room for luggage or any personal luggage. But the range was the biggest down side was the lack of range. Realistically 160 miles of range, then having to stop for 40minutes to charge. We bought a 2022 GM Yukon XL with a Diesel engine that gets 800 miles of range. I might do a video for you that re caps our experience with the Model X, that gives real world feedback
@@Myksgarage awesome thank you for that reply that really shed some light!
What is the phone number to call to check for supercharging
1 (888) 518-3752
Where did you find one under 50k
Back In April/May there were many available for under $50K, Now that Gas prices have gone up, and there is no new inventory, prices have increased!
Motor mounts?
I didn't have issues during the short time I owned this car
How much did you pay for this Model X with 75000 miles? $50,000???
In May of 2021 I paid $48,200.
Hi could you post the part numbers for the motor mount and the axle from the invoice? Thanks!
I no longer have the invoice or the car, sorry

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.
Yeah I ended up selling it shortly after this video because I didn't want to own it with an expired warranty
Save money to when screan breaks after warenty... its 10.000$
Yeah that's expensive!
I bought a 2022 tesla model x plad
How do you like it?
how tall is your garage?
It's about 10.5'
did he end up saying the price or no
I bought it for $48,200 in May 2021
How much did you pay for it?
Back in May 2021 when I bought it I paid $48k for it. The same car is going for around $30k now
Tl;Dr: no warranty means huge bills.
Yes it does!
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.
$17k in maintenance on a model X?
A lot of hot air.
Yes
How does Tesla sell a car with free super charging for life and then remove it. Not cool!
Yeah they have done this to a lot of their vehicles
This video could've easily been 8 min instead of 26 ;)
Yes, I got long winded!
Still holding up strong?!😁
Sold it after owning it for 8 months for a new Model Y. Here's a video I made comparing the 2 kzhead.info/sun/YKWrm86Rhp6XfGw/bejne.html
@@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’
Sounds lika a lot of issues all in all.
Yes,there were many issues in the short time I owned this car
oh wow the gap spacing on your model X is sooooo bad
That's Tesla for ya!
People have said that about my model 3 but I didn't notice and don't care - should I?
@@jankoszuta9835 doesn't matter if you care or not...Tesla will not do anything about it. Every Tesla has thisissue you just have to get lucky to get one that's not as bad as the super bad ones lol
If I had a dollar for every time you said warranty I could afford a Tesla model x plaid
It's an important factor when owning this car....
Too long
But it has lots of good info
Dumbest car forever. You can by electric Mercedes for this money with no restrictions on charging.
What restrictions does Tesla have on charging?
Americans must have a lot of car debt
🤷
Talk way too much man. Just get to the point for each thing.
There's a lot of information to convey
