Bhorn's used 2016 MX P90D story

[bhorn]

Hi MXers,

I ordered my MX last week. After watching prices for a few months, I decided to take the plunge on:

• P90DL
• Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive
• Model X Long Range
• Midnight Silver Metallic Paint
• 20" Silver Wheels
• Tan Leather Seats
• Matte Obeche Wood Décor
• Black Headliner
• Six Seat Interior
• Ludicrous Mode
• Carbon Fiber Spoiler
• Red Brake Calipers
• Free Unlimited Supercharging
• Technology Package
• No Tow Package
• Autopilot with convenience features
• Premium Upgrades Package
• Smart Air Suspension

The price was falling for a while before jumped at $59,800. Maybe I could have help out a bit longer, but under $60K was my target. Ordering has been smooth so far. I've read the horror stories, so I am trying to temper my expectations. It has to ship from CA to GA. Delivery is not scheduled yet, but estimated to happen next week sometime. Its about a 5h drive for me to Atlanta. I've already mapped put the drive home, which will include two stops to charge and add about 2 hours to the ride home. I'm very excited and soaking up all the resources I can.

I rented a MX on Turo last year on vacation in CO. It was fantastic and really gave me the itch to get serious about buying one. I ordered a HPWC and will get it installed this week.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts...

Once you have more posts, you will be able to edit (for a time).
Good luck with purchase.

I have a 2016 MX with VIN xx001868. which I purchased new.
I have 90,800 miles on it and the only major expense I have had is the weatherstripping on the Falcon Wing doors. It began getting sticky a year ago but while on a three day trip with 3 passengers that stickiness cause the upper glass to get criacked when the center piece lifted. The replacement glass includes the weatherstripping. Keep an eye on it. The new weatherstripping is better and yours may already have been replaced.

Thanks for the advice. There is one pic of the roof showing the weatherstripping in pretty poor condition. I intend to use the warranty if that becomes an issue.

I would recommend that you do that before your warranty expires. The weatherstripping used then was clearly inferior. My biggest regret is that I did not scrutenize it more carefully before my warranty expired. I still love the car. Enjoy.

How many miles on it bhorn?

 

[bhorn]

How many miles on it bhorn?

49312 miles

So it qualified for the 4 year / 50K mile extended warranty.

nice find. Under 60k for p90d is a great deal especially with warranty.

I have not experienced Ludicrous yet. I should probably record myself for posterity.

when are you taking delivery?

Bhorn

when are you taking delivery?

I am still waiting for info. My "Used Vehicle Advisor" said, "ETA for timing on delivery is 2 weeks could be sooner as we will keep you updated along the way ."

Hopefully that doesn't mean he'll tell me the timing for delivery in two weeks.

 

[Cwub]

Let us know how it goes and how they are doing the actual delivery.

For the amount that you pay, IMHO, Ludicrous mode isn't worth it over the highest battery capacity (mere 1.5 sec faster 0-60 mph time). This was previously my #1 must have feature, but I won't be seeking it again on the next Tesla.

Used cars sold by Tesla come with a 2 or 4 year warranty, so are you saying that by having it under 50K miles, it qualifies for an extended warranty beyond the new "used" warranty that Tesla is providing you with the purchase? That would be pretty nice if you could essentially buy an extended warranty and have it covered up to 149K miles (or 8 more years) bumper to bumper.

 

[bhorn]

so are you saying that by having it under 50K miles, it qualifies for an extended warranty beyond the new "used" warranty that Tesla is providing you with the purchase?

No, I was only referring to the included warranty.

Used Vehicle Limited Warranty for Model S and for Model X
Model S and Model X that were under 4 years old and under 50,000 miles at the time of Tesla delivery.

Used Model S and Model X are protected by a Used Vehicle Limited Warranty for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, starting from your delivery date. The balance of original Battery and Drive Unit Limited warranty still applies for used vehicles. The Tesla Used Vehicle Limited Warranty does not extend or otherwise alter the original warranty.

My wall connector came in today! I ordered a 24' gen2, but surprise, it's the 18' gen3!

It will still work for my install, so lucky me.

can you check your premium connectivity and let me know if you have free unlimited or if it’s currently saying 30 day trial?
