Do NOT BUY MY LEMON Model X 90D. VIN: 005674.
This car has almost countless manufacturing defects. Doors needed to be adjust many times, including new motors. I added 1/4inch weatherstripping to stop abundant airflow around them (noise and cold came in, couldn't keep car warm in winter). Now the windshield wipers are stuck in the 'up' position, refusing to go down. Driver's seat is now being replaced for unclear reasons, but cold NJ winters have had NO HEAT IN SEAT! Key fob died totally. Once the car just stopped working when parked at office. Tesla sent a flatbed for it. It's been 18 months and Tesla is close to 'making a deal' to replace this lemon, but has really refused to refund the deposit paid on the lease. Whatever deal may include a non-disclosure agreement, not in force as of today, so here is my recommendation:
DO NOT BUY LEMON MODEL X 90D: VIN 005674.

Thanks. Will only go for 55K or over, if we even replace. Really more focused on VW/AUDI/PORSCHE/VOLVO EV's in coming year...
Really great advice! Tesla sells its Lemons via CPO and doesn’t notify the purchaser that there were any issues. THIS IS WRONG!! Be careful with CPO my Tesla friends. You are much better off purchasing a new Tesla regardless of the discount. Imagine paying over $100k for a CPO Tesla and later finding out that it was a Lemon in a different state. Nothing on CarFax, only positive checkbox details in the CPO report.....
In most of Europe you can reject cars early. I'm the UK for example you can reject in the first 30 days. Full refund or replacement car is the only option for Tesla.
This applies to CPO as well as new. I think at this point if I had even one minor fault I'd seriously consider asking for a new car. The fault can be extremely minor, like poor paintwork, and you can still reject.

I don't see this car currently, or ever being listed as a CPO.
This is just not true. Tens of thousands of people have bought CPOs from Tesla and are very satisfied. Please do not spread FUD.
I sure wish that it wasn’t true.....

An open lawsuit doesn't mean it's true. In fact, Tesla denies all such accusations.
So it's just he-said/she-said.

I bought a true CPO X with VIN 65xx and 20k miles and have been very happy with it. It's had some problems but Tesla has treated me very well. No regrets.
