Tesla X Problems after 135000 km

[bowleasy]

Dear Tesla friends,

I am facing multiple problems after 135000 km with my Model X. Maybe someone has the same experiences?

Keys stopped working ( was replaced several time before) had to buy a new key. € 150 for a replacement
Aircondition failure resulted in replacing 2 Parts. € 1.500 for repair
Steering shafts seemed to be done needed to replaced. € 1.000 for repair
These last 2 within 2 weeks!
What is next to be afraid of?
My Car was in 28 months in total 2 1/2 months in repair for numerous other things and I am afraid the end is not near?
What to do sell my car?

hello?
warranty? 28 months < 48 months
why are you posting this as such?

never heard of keys not working. that sounds random. they didn't give you new ones under warranty?

What's next to be afraid of?
disagreeable responses?
/sorry ; P

Maybe the mileage? If OP did not buy the extended warranty, warranty would have run out at 80k km.

This seems like more that mileage versus time is a factor in this case. There is a reason extended warranties are not available on used ICE cars with more than 100,000 miles.

I would be more afraid of the issues with a Mercedes of this number of kms/miles. I had a Mercedes before, and paid more than 2x what you paid to fix, key drum, retractable roof, check engine light (almost an annual problem), etc.

My brand-new Model X had these issues in the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):

• Key fob battery died (Tesla replaced battery)
• A/C failure, due to the hoses being connected backwards
• Steering shaft/bash plate tightened/retorqued

Sounds very similar to your issues, however I had them all in a new Model X. So I don't think your issues have to do with the age of your car, but rather were flaws from day 1. The fact that your car worked properly this long with these issues is a monument to the amazing engineering of Tesla.

I would say, get them fixed and keep going. It's still better than a BMW

I know what you mean. We have BMW 3 series cars. All of the turbocharged models needed a new turbo and wastegate at around 60,000 miles, right after the original warranty runs out. $7,500 or so.

Then there is the $600 brake jobs ever 25,000 miles.

oops,ya..was thinking 4 years ..forgot it is 'or' 50k miles. ignore my disagreements
I tried to stay under 50 in the first 4 and drive a lot more in the next 4

my car is finally pretty solid all around, it took way more than 28 months

What kind of a response is this? OP didn't ask about Mercedes. Lol.

This story continious! More repairs and the battery is going down also! Plus Tesla reduced charging so now I need to charge all the time beyween 20 and 30 minutes more

Sorry, but this number of issues for 84,000 miles is no engineering marvel, not terrible but not great by any means. Most (ICE) cars easily hit 100k miles with no issues at all. And well over 200k miles is common these days. That’s been my experience with some of the lowest reliability brands (Jeeps and VW’s).

If he goes another 135000 km (84k miles) with 0 issues then I’d call it good.
