Reviewing My Model X After 100K Miles! (Not a Tesla Fan Boy)

The speaker reviews their Tesla Model X after five years and 100,000 miles, highlighting numerous issues but explaining why they still own it. Build quality is described as "horrendous," with massive, misaligned body panel gaps. Paint is peeling on the mirror, though surprisingly durable in the back despite heavy use. Cargo capacity is praised for accommodating a bike and allowing the owner to sleep inside. The crazy doors have been reliable, even after a $13,000 replacement following a collision. However, plastic trim under the car frequently detaches after impacts, requiring duct tape. The white interior has held up well. The owner replaced the "dangerous" yoke steering wheel with a round one and swapped the stock wheels for smaller, more efficient, and quieter tires, specifically recommending the Hanukk Ion Evo AS SUV. Despite aggressive driving, tire wear has not been an issue. Maintenance has been minimal, primarily windshield wiper fluid, which is a key reason for preferring EVs over gas cars. Dislikes include the glass roof in hot climates, requiring covers and limo tint. The speaker dislikes newer Tesla models, subscriptions for features like Autopilot, and full self-driving, which they find unreliable. The main reason for keeping the Model X is its standard Autopilot, enhanced with a modification that allows hands-free driving by tricking the computer. The speaker charges their battery aggressively to maximize charging speed, resulting in 20.65% degradation. They hope to reach 30% degradation for a warranty replacement. Having owned numerous EVs and test-driven many, the Model X is their last viable option due to its functionality without subscriptions and its aesthetic appeal.
