MX - 7 seater - £30k
Discussion
I am considering replacing my Model 3 with a MX - as we need 7 seats.
Obviously I am fairly limited by choice given the 7 seat requirement - but are there any known issues/things to consider? For example, a 2017 MX with lower mileage vs. 2018 with higher? Slightly concerned about the lack (or potentially short) warranty - but anything newer than 2018 takes it out of budget!

MX is a money pit
Matrix heaters and drive shafts are two big ones at £1k+ a time, but lots to go wrong and usually does including suspension parts
Both PTC heater and drive shafts on older cars should all have been done under warehouse. What's the 'lots to wrong' items are you counting.Matrix heaters and drive shafts are two big ones at £1k+ a time, but lots to go wrong and usually does including suspension parts
Ours has just passed its 7th year MOT, replacing the tires every 20-25k miles is the biggest maintenance cost over the last 3 years.

Replacement PTC heaters fail, and there are 2 on a 7 seater
You yourself have said it’s been the most unreliable car you’ve ever owned

I'm on 85k, both PTC heaters replaced in warranty no issues with either since.Replacement PTC heaters fail, and there are 2 on a 7 seater

Most unreliable from new, but last 3 years it's been OK. Not like our Lexus but far better than my old N54 Bimmer. I'm pretty confident it'll hit 150k+ miles before the battery needs replacing.
I wouldn't be buying another Tesla though, but if you don't care about brand, Tesla still probably make the best EVs around new or used.
