For those who own the MY, I presume it uses MCU2. MCU1 in the S and X were prone to eMMC failure due to its 8GB chip limitation and excessive data logging. Since MCU2, I don't believe I heard of MCU2 failing, as it has a 64GB chip and is relatively new, so only time will tell. But...

$7,500 tax credit is a game changer. I went to the local Tesla store yesterday to check out the Model Y. Store was packed and the MY floor unit was sold.

Not true, at least not to that of Tesla's extent. My Lexus LX570 has 116k miles and is 11 years old. Absolutely impeccable fit and finish. One of my staff has a ~15 year old Honda Pilot; also no problems with issues that seem to plague the M3 and MY.

OP, have you considered a Rav4 Hybrid?

Following.

OP seriously, 27k miles? A benefit of EVs (and hybrids) is regenerative braking, which should allow brake pads to last a LONG time. I've heard Prius owners not having to replace brake pads until well past 100k miles. I would assume Tesla's pads would have similar life spans, if not longer...

Really??? If someone needs service for their Tesla, or has a concern regarding their vehicle, he/she can only text?

Sorry to hear of this OP. Makes me weary of buying a Tesla, as I'm looking at getting a used Model X or 3.

For a used Model X (or even the S and 3 for comparison) how much should one budget for annual maintenance and repairs?

Sorry to hear. Can you share the problems you were having? What are you replacing the X with? Another Tesla, or an ICE vehicle?

20k is pretty low. Is it because of the staggered tire setup? Tesla's high torque? I had a 996 turbo that also had a staggered tire setup, and those tires did not last very long. Lucky to get 15k miles IIRC. Gets pricey real quick. How long are the tires on the Model 3 lasting?

How much did you pay if you don't me asking?

Can you share link or zip code? All the used Model Xs I'm seeing online on Tesla's site start at $55k.

Appreciate your honest view. You have/had 3 Tesla's, so there's good credibility. Your take, along with the link @cwerdna posted from Edmunds, seem to mirror that of Consumer Reports reliability rating. As of the new year, I drive roughly 1,100 miles per month in a 11 year old Lexus SUV that...

Anyway to view the poll results without voting?

Thanks for the links, will take a look. Does seem like the X is a bit finicky in terms of maintenance/repairs.

Your former problem child, is the S or X? Would you recommend getting a Tesla out of warranty?

Yikes, seems like quiet a bit of stuff here and there. Do you still have a Tesla?

Still a EV newb. How does one read the charging status? How did you extrapolate 237 miles range? Thanks.

I would agree with your guestimate. I also suspect Tesla (along with other auto makers) will continue to drop prices on its vehicles to hasten stagnate sales due to the current economic conditions.

Nice to see a fellow neighbor online. I'm just east of you off 405/90. Fun times we're going through now with the "curfew." Was the stuff you had replaced covered under warranty?

When looking at used or new Tesla's, how does one know what version MCU and HW is installed?

I believe a friend of mine has a X and he had his nav screen replaced 2-3 times. Is the replacement due to the faulty design of the MCU1 unit? If so, can you share link to the 3rd party repair? How much is the repair? Is the repair a replacement of a faulty part?

Congratz! Take pics when you can :)

Can someone explain to me what is MCU1 and HW3? I'm a newb to Tesla world.

How was the CrossClimate+ in the snow for you? Does Burnaby have hilly terrain?

What were your impressions of the X and Y?

You bought fourteen Tesla's since 2013? Big family? :)

That's a good suggestion, thanks, will look into it!

Thanks for sharing. I like to think I'm a pretty experienced winter driver as well, and tend to be more concerned with what others will do to me than what I will do to them. Never had a RWD vehicle. Driving dynamics seem fun in the summer, rain time and winter is a question.

My preference on not having dedicated snows is because it doesn't snow that frequently here in Seattle, but when it does snow, we get quite a few inches, especially the past few years. And I don't have the time nor do I want to spend the extra time or energy swapping out tires. I've had FWD...

How have the tires been holding up on the X? Is it reasonable to expect 40k miles from all seasons? Saw a youtube video this morning where an owner claims he had to replace his tires multiple times due to the X's heavy weight and from repeated nails. Not sure why a car's weight makes it more...

This thread is a little concerning. Been browsing at a few used X's on the Tesla website, now it's giving me pause.

Hi everyone, How is the M3 RWD in the snow? With all season tires, is it sufficient with the occasional snow storm in areas with hills? I Or would the dual motor AWD version be a necessity? Preference is to stick with all seasons and not have dedicated snows. I have a heavy gas guzzling SUV...

Thanks for sharing, great honest video.

Nice, I didn't know the MX is rated to tow. Will have to check out the tow rating specs. My LX570 is a monster at towing as well; I haven't towed a boat, though I do have a heavy hitch based rack I use to haul around some bikes. Fuel mileage (13/18mpg) drops horrendously once anything is...

That's astounding... would you mind sharing any costs associated with maintenance and repairs (if any) of your X? How often do tires last on the X? Can one expect 40-50k miles?

That's good to know, thanks. Makes more sense then to buy a used Tesla directly from Tesla. Looking forward to your pickup this Sat!

Congratz! How does the free supercharging work? Is free supercharging only transferable to the next owner if it's listed on the Tesla website?

Question, on the Tesla website, I noticed some used Model S and X come with "free unlimited supercharging." How does this free supercharging work? Is it grandfathered into the vehicle? I thought I read somewhere that Owner A bought a S or X and it came with free unlimited supercharging, and...

Nice! Do share your experiences when you pick it up.

With adjustments, does Tesla come to you, or do you have to go to a service center? I also recently saw that Telsa dropped the price of the M3 by $2k, and I believe the S and X by $5k. Hoping that used cars will drop as well. Guess it depends on demand and how the economy recovers due to...

Hi Everyone, Newbie here, thinking of joining the Tesla world. Used Model Xs have depreciated enough to the point where I can begin to think of purchasing one. Plus my gas guzzling 13mpg SUV with my new weekly 300 mile commute is making me seriously think of getting an EV. For those who have...
