FIXING EVERYTHING WRONG WITH MY TESLA MODEL X

EV Channels Review

Rich from Rich Rebuilds tackles a series of issues plaguing his Tesla Model X, which he previously deemed 'useless.' The video details repairs for a coolant leak requiring battery removal, a faulty control arm, and a rodent-damaged air filter. A significant portion is dedicated to explaining why standard brake pads fail prematurely on EVs due to lack of use and moisture, highlighting a new galvanized brake pad solution from NRS Brakes designed for electric vehicles. The reviewer contrasts these with OEM pads, showing premature rust on a 3,000-mile Tesla pad versus the NRS pad after 10,000 miles. The total repair cost, including parts and labor for the coolant leak, control arms, alignment, and brake work, amounted to approximately $1,800. While acknowledging the high cost, the reviewer frames it within the context of the vehicle's original price and the necessity of these repairs for an out-of-warranty EV.
