2016 X 75D - 170K miles - free SC

[originalsalt]

Hey TMC Community,

I have a 2016 X 6 seater with 170K miles with free SC. Battery degradation at 12% with free supercharging! I'm contemplating whether to keep or sell. I would sell without a second thought if it wasn't for the free supercharging. I've never had issues with the drive train or battery (knock on wood), replaced the 12V a few times. I'm leaning towards keeping it and just driving it as long as I can.

Would love to hear what options are available for my X in its current stage in life. Thanks all!

If you like it, why not keep it? Just make sure you have some cash to deal with repairs.

I think I might depend on what is replacing it if anything. It’s probably not goin to loose a lot of value in the next year. Tax credit eligibility will be very different in 12 months. How many miles a month are you driving and how much is the free SC saving you? I got an XCare warranty for my ‘16 and plan to drive it into the ground and hope I get my 5k warranty cost back.

What’s an X Care warranty and who sells it? I have a 2016 X I bought used from Tesla. My warranty runs out in April 2023. I am going to keep it forever (I really like it) and I did not think I had any warranty option.

To the original poster, the free supercharging is nice but should not be overvalue. I have it too but don’t use it that much. I do like the premium connectivity for life especially after upgrading my infotainment system.

I have 2017 MX 75D and will also be keeping it forever. Locally I don't charge at Superchargers since I charge at home but I like that it's free whenever I go on long road trips. I agree with the poster above me, the free premium connectivity for life is very valuable especially after we upgraded to MCU 2.

If you need an insurance policy - extended warranty - to keep it, then you need to sell it while the used market is still relatively hot. A high mileage car will still sell. You’ll lose free supercharging, but you can get a new Telsa like the Y with not too much more out of pocket.
On the other hand, if you can afford a major repair (but obviously hope it doesn’t happen, and maybe it won’t), you should keep your current X as it fits you perfectly, and quite honestly, that X will likely last you forever
