Used Tesla Model X: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Tesla Model X from 2016 to 2025: what each year typically sells for (about $26,000 to $81,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2018–2025. Look harder at or skip 2016–2017.

Worth knowing
- Skip 2016–2017. Early Model X falcon doors and windshields had widespread problems. Later years are much better.
- 2016: owner complaints spike (417, mostly the suspension).
- Air suspension and door mechanisms are the costliest repairs, and 2022 and later cars got a new interior.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a Long Range or 100D: they offer more range than early 75D and 90D versions; 2022 and later models got a refreshed interior, and check the falcon-wing doors work smoothly.
On the test drive
Ask for a battery health report, and compare the range shown at full charge with the original rating. Pay for an inspection at an independent shop that specializes in the brand.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2016).
- Adaptive cruise control: standard from 2017, optional from 2016.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
