5 Of The Most Unreliable Used Electric Cars To Avoid

According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, even he thinks the Model X was a mistake. Musk stated in an interview with Business Insider that the Model X shouldn’t have been made and that they should have just modified the Model S instead. The Model X has numerous complex features and difficult-to-build parts that are unnecessary for selling cars.

Some of these features include problematic front gullwing and rear “falcon-wing” doors, a bioweapon air-filtration system, and a fast 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds.

Since its release, the Model X has been the focus of 24 safety recalls by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These recalls cover issues with seat belts, airbags, collision avoidance systems, and autonomous driving systems.

In addition, the Model X’s massive windshield is prone to cracking, and numerous owners have complained about suspension noise due to defective front stabilizer bar bushings.

All these recalls and issues have led to a decrease in the value of used Model X cars in the market. While the original P90D version had a price tag of over $100,000, there are now used examples available for about half that price. However, considering the potential problems that may come with a used Model X, it is advisable for smart buyers to steer clear of its allure.
