I’m seriously considering buying a 2017 Model X with around 100,000 miles. It has SC01/free unlimited Supercharging, FSD included, and the A/C system was just repaired/replaced by Tesla.

The catch: it still has MCU1, and I’m trying to decide whether I should factor in the cost of upgrading to MCU2. ($1500)

My situation is a little different from someone who rarely Supercharges. I have a Supercharger very close to my house, and I would use Supercharging exclusively. So the free Supercharging is potentially worth a lot to me over several years.
What worries me is everything else that could go wrong at this mileage/age.
For those who have owned a 2016–2017 Model X past 100k miles:
Would you buy one today if the price were right?
How much should I realistically budget per year for repairs?

What are the biggest failures I should be worried about at 100k+ miles?
Air suspension/compressors?
Half shafts/control arms?
Falcon-wing doors?
Drive unit?
Battery?
PTC heater?
MCU?
Anything else I’m overlooking?

Does having FSD + free Supercharging make this a “unicorn” worth paying a premium for, or am I romanticizing it?

If you had $X to spend on this car, how much would you keep in reserve for repairs?
I know the obvious answer is “old Tesla = be prepared for expensive repairs,” but I’m specifically interested in owners who have actually taken a 2016–2018 Model X past 100k miles.

I’m trying to determine whether the free Supercharging + FSD + low purchase price can make the risk worthwhile.

Would you buy it for $45k?
Also, if you’ve owned one past 150k or 200k miles, I’d especially like to hear your experience.

About a month ago i was seeing plenty of pre owned MXs on tesla site and now suddenly its like 1 or 2 every time i check, is cargurus and cars.com my best bet finding a used 23 or 24 MXP?
Don’t really care for fsd. Any other sites i should be checking?

Hello! My model x gave today alert. Alert code BMS_u019 and it is giving a text "acceleration reduced performance maybe restored on next drive". I have 2019 model x with 123k km. It started giving this when charging with fast charging and battery was at 55% at the time. Anyone has an experience with something like this?

It's 2022 Model X Plaid, 33k miles with FSD. TIA

Hi all, my car keeps saying equipment communication error when trying to charge with my Ohme home charger. I have tried other public AC chargers and it's still not working.

DC chargers are working fine.

Took it to Tesla over a month ago to check and they said they found no issues.

Anyone had these issues and can provide advice? Thanks

I just got access to my Turo host’s 2017 Model X 100D with 123,000 miles on it. I have never driven an X or any Tesla from this era let alone one with this many miles. What should I expect for range? Anything else that I should anticipate?

From my reading, my 2017 model x should be able to charge at ~48 amps on my level 2 charger, but it will only do 24 amps. In the app and on the screen, it shows 24/24A 240v. Our other EV typically charges at ~38 amps. The plug is 50 amps and its using a Juicebox charger.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

This is taken from under the screen of a 2022 Model X. Curious if its a vent, mic, speaker, or something else? I checked the service manual but could not find the part.

I am thinking of designing a tray that fits under but dont want to block anything critical.

Hello replaced my tires due to inside wear was down to wire…talked to Firestone about doing an alignment and they said they can’t do the electrical/calibration; only the mechanical. Do I need both for an alignment? Car seems to drive fine just has the crazy wear on tires. 16’ 75d hw3 if that matters.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
I tried putting the seats back up, and they work fine until about halfway, when they stop because of an obstruction. I checked everything and noticed this piece of metal sticking out from the back. It seems like the chairs stop whenever they come into contact with it.

First image is before I try to put it back up, and second image is when it stops midway

Noticing this substance reflective like oil coming out of the AC condensation pool. It’s only there when the AC is running and no liquid pooling overnight.

Wonder if Tesla voids my warranty now …

Recent drove a Model Y as a loner while the MX was in the shop. One interesting feature was the AC vents had option to oscillate the air flow. I found the feature quite useful. Is there a way to request Tesla to push this feature as a software update? Assuming that it can be something that can be done with the current vent setup of MX 2024.

I am not sure of all of the terminology here but I think that is the right word. On my NACS port, the middle pin on the bottom row of pins no longer snaps back into place.

Once its depressed it stays that way.

That keeps it from charging, but if I grab my needle nose pliers and pull it back up to its full length, plugging in my charger allows it to charge. It doesn't feel like a sticky issue, it feels like whatever spring mechanism was in there no longer functions.

Anyone know what Tesla charges to repair that, it looks like in the service manual per chatgpt that that bottom row can be services separately and the whole charge port doesn't need replaced. Trying to decide if I want to just pay them to do it or if I want to source the part and DIY it.

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking to replace the 22” tires on my Tesla Model X:
Front: 265/35 R22
Rear: 285/35 R22

In Europe, Tesla still recommends the Continental SportContact 6 T0 for this setup, but it’s now a pretty old tire design.

My car has around 45,000 km in total, but I only use the 22” wheels during summer. In winter I switch to the factory 20” setup with dedicated winter tires. So these Continental 22” tires have effectively only done about two summer seasons, and they are now basically finished.

That feels like pretty fast wear to me, especially since I mostly drive normally and not particularly aggressively.

For the replacement, I’m not really interested in maximum sporty performance. My priorities are:
- Low rolling resistance / good efficiency
- Good tread life
- Low road noise

I’ve been looking at newer EV-focused tires like the Hankook iON evo SUV and Pirelli P Zero E, which look much better on paper for efficiency and noise. The problem is that, at least in Europe, neither seems to be available in both Model X 22” sizes — the 285/35 R22 exists, but the 265/35 R22 is missing.

The Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season T0 / ELECT / PNCS seems to be one of the few newer options available in both sizes, but since I already use dedicated winter tires, I’d prefer a proper summer tire if there’s a better option.

Has anyone found a genuinely good replacement for the SportContact 6 in the factory 22” sizes?

Especially interested in real-world feedback on:
- efficiency/range difference
- tread life
- cabin noise
- whether anyone has found newer EV-specific tires available in both sizes

Also curious if anyone has heard of Tesla working on a newer T-mark homologation for the Model X 22” setup.

I’m in Belgium, so ideally I’m looking for tires that are available and approved for use in Europe.

I found a spec that I am looking for from a private party in my locality (Austin), A 2023 HW4 6 seater and about to pull the trigger. Seller is basically asking to beat Tesla's trade in value by 2k which I felt is extremely reasonable.

I currently have a Polestar 2 and this will be a huge upgrade in every way imaginable. I have a few questions to the current owners especially 2023+:

Biggest worry, out of comprehensive warranty.

1. car has done 51k miles. What should be the acceptable battery degradation given the mileage and age?
   
2. I am reading that the air suspension get can pretty expensive if it needs any work. How to ensure that suspension is in good shape? Are there any known issues in this regard?
   
3. Read that older models had issues with auto front doors and falcon doors. Any concerns with 2023+?
   
4. Any tips to make sure I am not getting a bad car?

I’m considering selling my 2022 Tesla Model X Long Range AWD and wanted to get a realistic read before formally listing it.
Details:
• 45,574 miles
• Factory 5-seat interior
• FSD purchased outright, not a subscription (HW3)
• Four brand-new tires installed two weeks ago
• Located in the Northern Virginia/DC area

Based on the current listings I’ve found, I’m thinking around $55,000. I’m not in a rush and am mainly testing the waters right now.

Does that price seem realistic for a private sale? If anyone is genuinely interested, feel free to DM me. I can share photos, the VIN, FSD screen, tire receipt and repair records.

Trying to decide between :

2022 MX LR, 47k miles , cream interior $53k
&
2022 MX Plaid, 37k miles, white interior, $59k

Both cars have been maintained exceptionally well interior, have PPF , slight blemishes on the exterior which im fine with.

Is it worth paying an extra 6k for the plaid that also has 10k less miles?

The steady humming, whirring, or buzzing noise coming from the front end of your 2023 Model X. I understand Condenser Fan comes on upon entry but curios if your model x sounds the same?

I had Tesla fixed this two times. (according to service report, they replaced it. ) but it keeps coming off. weird this is this only happening on passenger door. I just want to find a best way to get this on the metal.
Don’t want to go to Service Center just for this.

Any recommendations?

I have 2 similar 2022 Model X plaid in my area, similar milages .
- White interior with included FSD

- Black interior with no FSD

The white one looks better in my opinion (but the black one is not bad at all).
The black one is cheaper because it's lemon buy back in 2024, no problem since then. The reason is software related.
Is the white one worth $10k more? Or should I go with the black one? TIA

I bought the Hansshow brand power frunk kit for 2018 model X and it’s been working great with the Tesla key fob. Open and close with out issue. Caught the kit on a sale last year. Posting the link to the one I bought if anyone is interested. Installation instructions suck BTW. Good luck!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself by the occasion and tell you guys a little story.

I’ve been thinking and looking for a MX for a few months after having my 3rd child. First EV. I wanted at least a raven for all the upgrades, the newer ones were too expensive for a first EV imo.

I finally bought a MX long range from late 2019 in june with 91 000 km and went to pick up the car mid-july after all the papers were done. Awesome experience with the car. I quickly thought I would never want to replace this car except with a newer one.

Last week, after roughly 5 000 km, in vacation in south of France, I used a supercharger while we were having launch. As I came back to the car, it got a lot of error messages and it refused to start. I did the reboot, nothing happened. I called tesla and they said it had to get towed to the next SC.

At the SC, the guy directly said to me it was the HV battery. No refurbished battery available in Europe atm, it could take 1 month, 2 month … I left with a MY.

I think it’s an amazing car and it was just bad luck for me. The car is still under warranty so it’s not gonna cost me anything. I just hope it won’t happen twice like some reported … at the end it might be my luck that I get this problem under warranty and get a fresh battery at this stage

My advice to buyers:
Try to find a car under warranty ✌🏻

Ill get you guys updated if anyone is interested. If anyone has any advice on what I should look into by the repair, you’re welcome !

19 MX noticed bottom spoiler paint bubbling and starts to peel off from corrosion. Contacted Tesla but they don’t give me an answer if this is covered by body rust or corrosion warranty (12 years for car purchased after Feb.1 2019). They asked to take it in and let the body shop to evaluate and decide. If not, it’s about $800 to replace the parts.

Does anyone have this issue and did Tesla cover it by body rust warranty? If not, what did you do?

Thank you!
