Apparently you cant enter if your in california or some other state's?

It's simply an objective fact that silver is a terrible color on any vehicle. No exceptions, sorry.

Yes I got pretty lucky with the car. Only normal repairs understandable for the mileage. I tell everyone, do not worry about battery and drivetrain, the rest of the car will not hold so long

Worst built?

Gas cars can make it to higher mileage with even less problems. But yeah that's not that bad considering it's a tesla.

And it’s funny I have 87% capacity left on my model 3 performance after 2.5years/52k miles. I rarely supercharge, 90% charging from home, charge rate initially to 90% up until about 40k miles, now I’m at 80%. What the heck am I doing wrong?

@@Oliver2020. - Higher mileage (than 200,000 miles), with even less problems? Sure, if you're lucky maybe but that's not the norm for the average ICE vehicle. In addition to two or three times the number of brake jobs, you'll likely need to have replaced the alternator, mechanical water pump, serpentine belt, O2 sensors, PCV valve, thermostat, coil pack, timing belt, timing chain, timing gear and chain guides, various system electrical relays (like fuel pumps). Accelerated ageing of gaskets, rubber and plastic products due to the much higher engine temperatures and under hood heat and vibration (like pan and manifold gaskets, front and rear oil seals, vacuum and coolant hoses). Even the average automatic transmission is unlikely to reach 200,000 without some major issues.

This is especially true after frequent use of superchargers. This wouldn't necessarily be unusual for Level 1 or Level 2 home charging.

@@Tron-Jockey good point, the battery would be in even better condition if the charging wasn’t as aggressive as constant supercharging.

As I mentioned in the video, you need to get lucky to get such a low degradation. Normally it is about 16% for this type of misuse ;-) what isn't actually that bad too

While I won't buy a Tesla, when I eventually buy an EV (next year), I will not use fast chargers very often, if at all. I'm naturally patient, and I know how much faster chargers can hurt the battery.

@@snakeeyes9246 you will do 98 percent of charging at home anyways to make it at all worth it. For road trips you will need to use fats charging - unless you want to sit there a minimum of 6 hours at the highest available 220 volt charging.

I laughed, and I resemble that comment 😆

Was going to get upset at that comment but realized he said only "slightly". I was like MF'r, we aren't as slim as you.. :)

I didn't mean to insult anybody, just pointed the obvious, that American car fits my type of body type

@@KristianKratochvil - relax, we know you weren't insulting us. We're just teasing you............and agreeing with you :-)

@@KristianKratochvil Not seen anyone offended. We are all amused by the comment.

I have a 2013 P85 with 130K, original battery, I hope it lasts a very long time

How many times you had to change motors on it ?

@@Dadadu16 it's had the front drive unit swapped out once (at around 375k mi). Rear drive unit is still original. The Small Drive Units that are used in the dual motor, non-performance models (guess I should have mentioned my car is a 70D) are generally pretty bulletproof, unlike the Large Drive Units used in in the back of RWD and Performance versions... We actually specialize in rebuilding those at the shop where I work.

@@Dadadu16 First motor was replaced in 2014 been on that same motor ever since

Kyle go go check out his model s

No problems passing an e-check I take it.😉

Congratulations, keep enjoying the car

How’s the upper and lower control arms holding?

@@JaafarAbuTaa no issues with control arms, our roads are good for the most part.

@@lynnh8189 thanks for the feedback😊

Yeah most folks I talk to about battery deg get their information from the deg NiCad batteries had in the old Prius. Li based batteries with any sort of thermal management will last longer than folks hold onto a typical ICE car today.

DC fast charging is hurting the battery a bit. Fortunately mine pack got lucky in chemistry lottery. But I know the odds are in favour that the battery will sustain some damage. I am simply doing way too much miles and charging

@@anydaynow01 Most folks I talk to take a worst case scenario they heard about somewhere and apply that "knowledge" to all EVs. Otherwise known as haters.

I've also seen Tesla's with 50k miles and 80-85% battery capacity left tho.. Not sure what to believe here.

@@maxjames00077 the initial degradation via time is steep then it slows down.

Thank you very much :-) actually English was my first foreign language, unfortunately in couple last years I have very few opportunities to speak English. And since I live and work for last 7 years mostly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland where is primarily German spoken, you naturally pick up the sounds.

I wish I was just as knowledgeable and handsome and of course rich as the Christian you mentioned ;-)

Thank you ... I have the Refresh on order since day one of reveal, unfortunately it doesn't look that Tesla will start to make deliveries in Europe any time soon

Thanks for watching and comment ;-) It is my tool for work

And let me tell that even I agree, that Teslas are not very good cars in comparison to particular brands. But Tesla is as a package is still one of the best electric cars on market. In some cases not the best electric car for specific uses and regions, but in general for 80% of drivers is the easiest choice

I think he's replacing yearly, because he does is himself, as to adjust rear door, with his schedule - waste of time, as I understood no Tesla support in their country as yet

@@vladzis the issue here is that you shouldn't be replacing seals really ever lol. They should be good for the life of the car. Water ingress in the trunk? None of this would fly among almost any other big brand.

@@belavet I've got W220 MB S class 10 years ago, it had water ingress inside of the trunk as well, not sure what's the reason here in Tesla, but on mine it was failed tail light seal, and MB wasn't selling it as a separate part, I needed to replace whole tail light to sort it out. I also have 3000GT (1993), and it's not watertight as well, where door glass meet rubber (Tesla's also having frameless windows).

@@vladzis I'm gonna be real here, I'd call that poor design/materials as well. The BMW doesn't get a pass from me 😆 It's why I say they should partner with a solid car company that has vehicles in the road that are multiple decades old. Tesla's goal (apparently) isn't even to be a luxury car maker.

Congratulations on your S70 👍

Hallo from Slovakia ;-) there are a few such a Lounges across Europe. A few of them even nicer

Hello I traveled back to my country from Texas yesterday... I'm starting to have melancholy...

Happy to hear that you still enjoy your car. Please be aware, that the Performance vehicles from those days suffer from coolant leakage into the rear drive unit. Start looking for a third party shop where they can refurbish the drive unit,since Tesla asks stupidly money for refurbished drive units.

@@KristianKratochvil oh I am very aware. Everytime a older Model S performance comes in for a drive unit isolation fault it's guaranteed that's the issue. I work for Tesla and work on the vehicles my man.

@@KristianKratochvil at 190k miles now.

@@dylangonzalez8812 I very nearly bought a brand new Model 3 RWD, the base. But then I found a 2014 Model S p85 with 31k miles on it for 29k with completely FREE supercharging. It still goes about 260 on a full charge. Very happy with the purchase. The new Model 3s are smaller, 272 miles of range so only 12 miles more, and have to pay for supercharging.

@@dylangonzalez8812 tha you are lucky to sit on the source ... there are couple of independent shops in Europe, that can completely overhaul the drive unit and eliminate this for good for a fraction of cost by Tesla refurbisher unit

I wanted to get silver TM3 as well but unfortunately it was never officially available in Europe. Nowadays I just hope that Giga Berlin will start to produce Liquid Silver TMY soon

Mega old man color! Looks better with black trim and wheels but still!

@@Itsme-fn9mc I don't care about the looks, I prefer the easy maintenance

@@KristianKratochvil Tesla makes Quick silver model Y's at Giga berlin now.

@@lachlanB323 since I live in Europe I have already seen and got a chance to drive few of quicksilver vehicles. It is the best color option for Model Y in my opinion. For the X the standard white or the new Ultra Red are sweet as well. But I imagine that quicksilver on Model X would be just WOW

Thanks... If you have any questions, you can reach me @thekikokk

Thanks for the nice comment. If you have any questions or want to keep updated you can reach me @teslaslovakia and @thekikokk

Never going to happen. Tesla makes changes and upgrades that change performance, efficiency, safety, etc. dailey. There is no easy comparison over time.

Hi ... congratulations on your silver whale ;-) The issues you describe are typical for early models before small facelift. Except for the steering rack, that has been solved late 2018. I got lucky, just the joint has to be replaced but it is like 70 EUR plus labour.

I've also seen Tesla's with 50k miles and 80-85% battery capacity left tho.. Not sure what to believe here.

Can I get an update on the car now? Any failures? Do you ever drive above low/standard suspension setting?

I am the owner, ask me anything

Hi ... I have experience with 3s as well. The degradation at the beginning is much higher than with S/X because of other chemistry. But after initial drop the line flattens and is very gentle. I could observe 0,5-1% per year caused by age

How is the charging curve on v3 Supercharger 10-50%?

Impressive. Have you changed any batteries? And what is the degradation?

@@michaelnilsson8400 original battery, 7.7% degredation according to ABRP. I don’t know how reliable that is, so I’m looking into a better test of it.

You can run an MX on pickup truck tires just fine and they don’t carry the same premium that performance SUV’s command.

The suspension setting from factory is really crap, tires could not hold more than 20-30k km. After some adjustments by somebody who understands Tesla suspension I can do over 60k kms (40k miles)

@@rosmarin2438 in Europe you mustn't mount any other dimensions of tire that there are on Certificate of Conformity from manufacturer. It is not problem of rubber quality, but the suspension geometry sucks and is ripping and shredding the tires

@@KristianKratochvil yeah great tip, from the factory Model X eats the inside of the back tires when driving on low suspension

@@matteocomelli9587 exactly and unfortunately in Tesla Service they will it adjust it in accordance with the manual. You need to set the geometry for low / very low. Tesla sets it in Normal what than actually wears the half shaft down

Tesla warranty 10yr/150k miles?

​@@thayalansuntharalingamthe limited vehicle warranty is 4 years or 80.000 km. The powertrain / battery has 8 years without a kilometre limit. This was for old cars, such as mine, till june 2019.

Thanks for the nice comment! I completely agree with you, I miss the silver option as well. I am very curious what kind of silver will be produced in Berlin, there are rumors could be identical to that Model 3 preproduction vehicle during the presentation and on posters

Just like any Tesla before 2020 they get wind noise above 130kph.

And the part we drove on was concrete autobahn, very noisy surface

My paint still looks great as well as seats

No problems with falcon doors. Black leather looks new. I guess they have switched to vinyl

7 seat configuration

I still recommend to get suspension alignment done outside of Tesla

@@KristianKratochvil Have you got the alignment from AT Zimmermann?

Hi, this is my car. If you have questions, I would be happy to provide answers.

I still dream about my old XC70 wagon

hi, where have you seen them?

in Europe you can put only tires / rims the size that are certified in the specs by manufacturer. The 2016 - 2018 Model X could be equipped with 19, 20 and 22" rims with particular tire dimensions.

I got rear-ended in Rosenheim, I had to pay 50% of repair

@@KristianKratochvil Was this a court decision or based on an out of court agreement with the other party involved in the accident? There are very few court decisions on this topic in Germany because the driver that rear-ends you and his insurance know that the chances to win the case are quite low.

@@felixklusener5530 I am not a German citizens, the Police got immediately involved and on spot got fine of 300€. Afterwards I got letter from insurance and attorney. My attorney recommended to settle

@@KristianKratochvil I see. It can be hard to get justice if you are from another country, don't know the laws, how the system works there and perhaps don't even understand the language. Unfortunately some police officers don't know the law either. In this case police often gets confused by §30c STVZO which says that you can't have any items attached to the car that unnecessarily obstruct or endanger traffic. But in an annex to the law you can find a reference to an EU regulation and that regulation says that mirrors and tow hitches are no attachments in the meaning of this regulation. Unfortunately most officers just read the §30c and not the annex. They just assume that there was a violation of the law but in fact it was no violation. The insurance on the other hand sees that the police noticed a ticketable violation in connection with the accident and that you didn't take any actions against it. Of course they give it a try to save money and get parts of the damages from you. The only way to get out of this situation is a lawyer specialized in german traffic laws. A friend of mine had almost the same struggle with law enforcement and insurance after her car got rear-ended in Dortmund. She hired a lawyer who successfully challenged the polices ticket and later wrote a letter with his legal opinion to the other drivers insurance and that his client would be willing to bring the case to court if the insurance refuses to pay. Just two days later the insurance came to the conclusion better not to fight in court and paied the whole damage plus the legal fees.

That seems like an incredibly dumb law or one that was made back when cars had bumpers that were able to actually bump into things without damage. Cars today crumple like paper so if they would have hit your bumper, they would have had to have it all replaced.

Probably not if I will keep driving it the same way as till now. But if you consider that in average in US are cars driven about 10k miles in a year, I simulated 20 years on roads

Get a refresh or Model Y ... I got Y as my second car and love it too

Hi ... as long as the repairs and replacements by Tesla had been done, the mileage was never more than 25.000 miles ... than I went to a third party shop and my next service was after about 100,000 miles ... it was about 1800 EUR

Commendable comment content

Especially these days it is something that makes the car even more valuable despite the slow charging. My second car is Model Y, but when there is no time pressure I take the old fat lady Model X.

It is in average 1 hour per day of ownership

400V and it is marked as 100kWh from Tesla

we described it wrong, it is not rust

we wil not sell the X as well, but we definitely will get the new X as well

Easy calculation

@@KristianKratochvil absolutely

In 15-20 years you’ll be able to get a 200 kWh battery with the same size and weight, and at a modest cost.

Yes, but we spoke purely about charging speed

No I didn't

Sorry, but I fit American car ;-)

My average consumption is 235 Wh/km

Different regulations.

I have there squeaks and some rattle, but it is nothing disturbing and all the car needs is some regular maintenance

No its 10 percent degraded after 200k miles

No, still on the first battery. According to BMS data it is 90,2% capacity

In Europe you can fir only sizes that are approved by th Certicicate of Conformity by the manufacturer. For this X I could use also the 265 / 55 R19
