WATCH: Model X Racks Up 400,000 Miles In 4 Years - But Are THESE Repairs Worth It?

In the latest installment of our series on the highest-mileage Tesla Model X (and one of the highest mileage EVs in the world, we look into how a Model X with over 400,000 miles racked up $29,000 in repair and maintenance and why that’s good.

Just over 2 months ago, I bought one of the cheapest and most high-mileage Tesla Model X vehicles ever.

With over 400,000 miles (650,000 km), It’s one of the highest-mileage electric vehicles in the world and serves as a great case study for the longevity of electric cars, in general, and Tesla vehicles in particular.

Nearly $7300 dollars in REPAIRS per year. Send that garbage to the crusher. Even the writer's idiot claim that the repair cost should be divided by 20 produces an unacceptable result for repairs. Is Tesla the new Alfa-Romeo?

Not bad at all considering it drove an average of 100k miles PER YEAR. The biggest expense by far was new tires.

A BMW X7 would be at least this much to keep running if you pushed it this hard.

God, you're dumb a bricks. To get 400K miles in 4 years, you're talking "freeway" miles which are very gentle.

What would be interesting to figure the value of Model X after that many miles. If you could get $35k for it, would that affect the cost of the repairs?

AAA calculated the average cost of maintenance and repair for 400k miles is $31,626. So, seems about average.
