THIS TESLA MODEL X HAS OVER 200,000 MILES! HERE’S HOW IT’S HOLDING UP

EV Channels Review

This video features an in-depth look at a 2017 Tesla Model X 100D that has accumulated over 200,000 miles, primarily through extensive use of DC fast charging. The owner, Christian, highlights the vehicle's surprising durability and overall positive ownership experience, despite its high mileage. Key positives include the continued functionality of the falcon-wing doors (with regular seal maintenance), the comfortable six-seat interior, and the robust performance of the 100D battery pack, which shows less than 10% degradation. The reviewer notes that the car still performs well at high speeds, though sustained top speeds can lead to overheating. Downsides are primarily cosmetic, with significant rust bubbling appearing on the rear hatch and around the stripping, and the leather on the steering wheel being completely worn away. The front suspension and half-shafts have also required replacement, with upgraded parts now installed. Despite these issues, the car is praised for its solid feel, comparable to newer models, and its utility as a reliable workhorse for towing and long-distance travel. The owner emphasizes its role as a functional tool rather than a status symbol, with Autopilot serving as a valuable fatigue-reducing assistant.
