How Much Range does a Tesla Model X have after 7 years?

This 2017 Tesla Model X was BRAND NEW when we bought it! Time to do a proper range test to see how much battery I ACTUALLY have after 100k miles!

I am still not over the fact that 2017 is 7 years ago.

Tesla engineer here 👋🏼
Your 22” Turbine wheels alone will net about 10% less range, even when new! That combined with driving much faster than the EPA when they rated this vehicle, I would say your actual degradation isn’t too bad!!

Usable capacity (when new) on the 100kWh pack is ~94kWh. Seeing that the vehicle was showing” charging complete” well before 100% tells me that the BMS isn’t calibrated, my guess is that with proper calibration you would be able to pull more than the 72kWh out of it, probably closer to 80. (~15% loss)

A good result overall!! Very useful information, great video. 🎉

Could you go through what your cost on maintenance/tires and any other repairs that have needed done to compare to a gas vehicle? This would be interesting to see how much just maintenance alone would save you?

Come to the east coast in NY from November-March when the temps are below 40 degrees and get in to single digits at times in the peak cold of winter and see what kind of range drop you have. My bosses Lightning goes from 230 range to like 170 when it’s cold below 40 which is quite often around here. I’m sure the battery does much better in a warm area where you are. I know a guy who owned a Tesla for about 2 months until it got cold in our area and couldn’t believe the bad range when it gets cold. It’s not for everyone and everywhere. Thanks for the video and perspective.

I recently bought a 2023 Model X but, because the falcon wing door was out of alignment at delivery, the service department had it for 3 weeks. During the three weeks, I had a loaner Model X 75D with less than 60k miles on the odometer. I was struck by how much better the refreshed Model X drove. It's not only more comfortable on the inside with the changed interior, but the driving experience is significantly different. I was also surprised at how much more efficient the new one was than the old one, so not only was the battery bigger but the drivetrain was much more efficient. They may look the same on the outside, but they aren't the same car.

It’s crazy how 2017 was 7 years ago. The Tesla still holds well even though it’s been used for so long

I have a 2018 model x 100d and it has 64k miles on it. A full charge is 264 miles a gets about that on a road trip. Also it was in a decent car accident where it got rear ended and 20k in repairs.

Regarding the window sound, you'll want to get that checked out. I had the same issue in my Model X for the longest time and eventually, the belt snapped and had to get replaced.

Hey I just ask this question. Thanks Dan for the update and it is great you have 7 years of usage to test this out. Gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect from these EV Batteries.

I noticed a video you all uploaded yesterday was somehow removed, the things you won’t miss about your dream home video.

On Tesla's 5 cycle EPA test, their 295 original estimate (which includes only driving at the speed limit and city driving which helps EVs) you probably got closer to 250 miles at best of highway driving at 70mph. So you've lost a little less than 50 miles of real world range. So more around 20% at the most.

And you also have to remember that yours was some of the early models, which are not nearly efficient or had heat pumps or newer, better battery chemistries.

How much maintenance did you had to do in this model X since you bought it?

[KaceyGreen]

My 2018 P100D with the smaller wheels was supposed to have 289 miles new (they delivered it at 100%, and it showed 286); it's down to 89.9 kWh according to the BMS; the car claims it can do 246 slam-full. We did drive the new standard Model X; it is nice, but as you said, it wasn't nice enough to re-buy the car with our Cybertruck reservation getting close to converting to an order.

What would be the resale value of this Tesla?

[opadennis]

I have a 2019 Model 3 Duel Motors. The longest trip I have taken was 1000 miles. I have made that trip several times. I have a range of about 275 miles. I don't get range anxiety because I have to make bathroom stops more often than I have to make charging stops, so I just stop at a Supercharger and fill up while I "Hit the head" and get another cup of coffee.

I can't believe it's been 7 years already .... damn!

[LASoundCrafter]

I’m ordering a new X, delivery in Feb ‘24. Price was attractive, $79.995. Ordering in red. Like you, I hope to keep for awhile, but I’m still keeping my BMW X3 M40i — range is 400 miles on a single tank (without using a lead foot), but is only for longer road trips. The Tesla is going to be my daily drive. Enjoy you channel!

[tomihuffman]

But did you do the same drive when it was new and get 295 miles? I imagine inclining or declining roads could change the results.

[agilitycommunications]

That was awesome Dan, your crazy bro. I would have lost my mind on the freeway with 5 miles left. Love it!

[frnchfry]

for the total amount of miles Im gonna say 202 because you gotta figure at some point you go faster along with other factors like wind and the road type, but mainly because of the age of the car.
