Used 160k mile Mode X?

[Qbenjamin]

I have a early 2016 MX 90D with 90k miles. No issues except front shudder. I just put it on Chill mode and don't worry.

It's very disheartening to come across posts like this one. You shouldn't be settling for a known issue with a luxury vehicle, make them fix it.

I guess it depends in where you are standing. I have more important things to do with my life than worry about the shudder that occurs infrequently. I do often think about how much I enjoy owning both of my Teslas.

I drive around 30k miles annually so yes, supercharging is a must and I'm sure I'll save $$. I would love a 100D but unfortunately, they didn't make them during 2016. From my understanding, 2016 was the last year where vehicles had free supercharging stuck to the car, not the owner.

I recently did a 1K mile trip in my X and spent around $70 supercharging (not an efficient commute @ 435 Wh/mi average). When comparing to another luxury vehicle (assumption is 25mpg highway), I would've spent about $120 (40 gal @ $3).

Let's put that in your scenario, 30K miles annually would be around $2.1K spent/saved on SC. Same factors for fuel (30K / 25 * $3), would be around $3.6K annually.

Technically free SC is saving you a couple of grand per year, but what about the amount of time spent at a super charger? What happens when you have to make a "minor" repair? I'd be reluctant to consider any vehicle out of warranty, ESPECIALLY a Model X.
