Let me introduce you to Dove, our 2016 Model X 90D. Our R1T surpassed it as our best EV ever, but how is it doing after 8 years, 128K miles, and many 5K+ towing trips...?

Beautiful car and name. I had to look it up when you said the date he passed as I thought it couldn't have been that long ago. Feels like yesterday to me.

Beautiful car. We have a 2016 X 90D with the MCU2 upgrade, but a late year vin. We have the unicorn combo of FSD and Unlimited free supercharging. We just went over 100k miles and have similar battery degradation around 235 projected at 100%. Really prefer the original interiors to the newer refresh. We did install an aftermarket automatic frunk(should have come standard in my opinion). Still love my car like the day it was new.

Shannon make a video about your car, or put it up for sale.. otherwise I don't think your unicorn matters so much

@shannonlawhorn1674 3 ай бұрын

@@BrianCanon car guys talk about their cars with one another, often highlighting interesting or unique options and configurations. For example the Titanium Metallic color of the X in video was only offered in 2016 making that a 'unique' property. My car on the other hand has a fairly unique combo of free unlimited supercharging and full self driving that was only available in the last qtr of 2016 and the first qtr of 2017. If you don't find that kind of stuff interesting that's ok. I guess your not a car guy.

Thanks for the video. Could you give some insight on charging speed? I’m looking at a very similar vehicle and keep hearing how slow it charges. I’m thinking people are too impatient but would like your input py

Thanks for that very informative video! I came across your video because I actually just purchased a used 2016 model x a few days ago. I was curious about the upgraded MCU chip. So I’m happy the upgrade meant you were able to stream Hulu Netflix etc… but I was wondering if the upgrade gives you sentry mode? Because my car doesn’t have it and I’m pretty bummed about that. Also wondering if that upgraded chip gave you anything else that you didn’t previously have access to that the newer teslas have? Thank you in advance! 🙏 😁

Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope to earn your subscription if you haven't done so already, Congrats on your MX. The MCU upgrade primarily improves UI performance. It does not add feature. 2016 MX does not have the camera HW to support Sentry mode.

@danielhau4954 2 ай бұрын

Just want to correct @EV_OG that 2016 MX can have the camera HW to support Sentry mode if it's built after Oct 2016. So any Teslas built after Nov 2016 have at least HW2 which is upgradable to get Sentry mode if you upgrade to the MCU2. It is also upgradable to FSD and Tesla will replace all the cameras and the chip to support FSD if you pay for the upgrade. But again, those things are only possible if it was built after Nov 2016 because that was the time when they switched over to HW2 and provided an upgradable path.

@@danielhau4954 Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing your insights on upgrading. Unfortunately Dove was delivered in April of 2016 so likely not upgradable.

Since your battery degradation held up pretty well I’m curious how have been your charging habits? How often do you charge on superchargers, do you charge till 90% daily?

@EV_OG 8 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting. We charged to 80% for daily driving and supercharged for roadtrips. Since Dove has free supercharging for life and is located ~10 minutes from a very under utilized supercharger, that is now our primary method of charging.

Hey @EV_OG! I own a Model Y which btw no regrets an amazing car. I am currently in the market for a big three row EUV. These are my contenders, 1) R1S 2) Model X 3) EV9 4) EX-90 Which you think I should go for?

@EV_OG 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting! Congrats on a great list of contenders. I would eliminate MX given your need for 3 rows. MX 3rd row is by far the worst of this group. R1S and EX-90 should be in a similar higher price point, so EV9 could be the best value. EX-90 will take the longest for delivery. Good luck, you really can't go wrong with these options.
