Can I expect 200K miles from a100D? (Model X)

[rloveless]

A couple Questions: I'm thinking about getting a Used Model X 100D with around 100k miles...

1) Because the warenty will be up soon.... is this a bad idea?

2) Do you know how may miles these batteries can go before they typically die?

3) Am I up in the night if I think they'll go 200k Miles?

Thanks.

I almost at 200k miles on my 2017 100d. No problems with the battery.

There's so much expensive stuff to go wrong on the Model X. I'd worry about them more than the battery.

 

[brainhouston]

if u read around here n on fb high mileage club, even old S cars get to 200-250k mi on original batteries
some make it some don't, its hard to predict each battery
but statistically as of now, odds are in ur favor with 100kwh packs
i'm at 99k mi with 90 pack rn

 

[Simon_Emes]

Yes. I'm almost there and it is the same drive since 100k miles.

Are you almost at 200K miles? Have you had to replace anything?

Nice! Have you had anything go wrong with your car yet? any big maintance items?

Interesting. I thought the battery was the main expensive items to replace. What are the other expensive items? Love any feedback. Just trying to learn. Thanks.

The falcon wing doors come first to mind. The front and rear suspension and drivetrain and the rear seats all tend to be expensive.

I have a Model S which is almost the same car. In my experience, basically everything has broken at least once besides the battery and motors. Currently around 135k miles.

Suspension, door handles, heater, mcu. It's an expensive car and it requires a lot of maintenance.

i think u being a bit dramatic here
4 things are far away from Everything...

There is a lot more that I replaced like wheel bearings/hubs, trunk latch and struts, etc etc. The list is just too long for me to type.

90k on my '17 MS. Leaky shock fixed, faulty mirror fixed under warranty; MCU2 and heater core on my nickel.

So far still runs FSD with the big dogs, no interior cam, does 0-60 in mid 3's easily, stalks, and still rides as well as the new models recently test drove.

Extended warranties are available if that's a concern. For me, I'd be hard-pressed in my potential worst case scenario to NOT put a new $20k HV battery in. That's very unlikely on the 100D battery packs. For me, I'll pay as needed for repairs - a lot less money than the less functional models they have today.

Just over 100k miles in my July 2017 Model S 100D. Dual motor, air suspension, uncorked.

About 8% battery degradation. Still original brake pads & rotors, about 50% worn.

Warranty:
- Exterior mirrors. Would freeze and not open in winter.

- Rear driver side air shock leak.

- Windshield wiper mechanism got noisy.

I upgraded:
- MCU1 to MCU2. Might have gotten it under warranty if I waited. I also purchased a new FM radio. The radio and FSD upgrade were done with MCU upgrade.

- FSD. Purchased upgrade from EAP during a pre-profitability “need cash NOW!” markdown sale. Tesla eventually upgraded FSD 2 computer and cameras. Got FSD 12.3.4 this week.

- CCS compatibility and adapter. Included charge port replacement.

Non-warranty maintenance.
- 2-year inspections/maintenance.

- Replaced all suspension bushings around 90k.

- Replaced front passenger seat due to intermittent passenger presence/weight detector failures. I felt that should have been covered under passenger safety warranty.

- Replaced failing 12 Volt battery with an Ohmmu lithium battery. Could have had a new lead-acid battery under warranty but wanted to stop worrying about the 12 volt battery.

- Alignments

- Tires, wiper blades and windshield washer fluid.

Self-inflicted damage
- Cracked wheel, two bent wheels, a half-dozen or more punctures.

- Front control arm.

- Driver side mirror.

- Left scroll wheel.

- Roof rack mount cover.

- Rear window.

Wow, That's freaking me out. Maybe I need to think about staying on gas.

I sold my December 2014 build model s with an 85 KW battery, to my brother. It has just shy of 300,000 miles on it now. Still the original battery. I will tell you that he did name it "the money pit" for a while. Still, overall worth the ownership.

My current model x, a 2018 100d, has about 160,000 miles on it. Original battery, no major problems. But I did not own it it's entire life, so I don't know what they had to do before me. I am not worried about the battery at all. Then again, it's still has a warranty for that. Unlimited miles for that vintage.

2022 Model 3 performance here, which is a gen 2 tesla, 42k miles. No maintenance, nothing has broken or failed other than replacing the gps antenna under warranty. We have just replaced tires as needed. No gas car could do that.

Battery will likely be fine, depending on how it was treated (Supercharged regularly? Used as a ride share? Charged to 100% frequently? - these won't be good for it).

What would concern me more would be the suspension and front axles. We had replaced the front axles on our two Model Xs numerous times (see Acceleration Shudder), and the most recent time we took it in they needed to replace all of the control arms and bushings because they were cracked. We don't drive hard, we don't drive on backcountry roads.

I traded it in last month for another Y, which has none of these problems, less weight, and no annoying falcon wing doors. My personal preference, of course. As with anything, YMMV.
