Which battery warranty applies to my used Model X?

As with the Model S, the first owner's purchase date decides: bought new up to the end of January 2020 means 8 years with no mileage limit, but without the 70 percent capacity promise. From February 2020 it is 8 years or 240,000 km with the 70 percent promise. In practice, in 2026 that means almost every X from 2016 to mid-2018 is out of warranty, while late Raven purchases up to early 2020 are still covered with no mileage cap.

Does the battery age faster in a Model X than in a Model S?

No — the packs are identical and age comparably. The difference is consumption: the heavier, less aerodynamic X uses noticeably more energy, so the same SoH loss feels like more lost range day to day. All the more reason to judge condition in capacity rather than in range.

How much capacity is normal on an older Model X?

The 18650 fleet data for the S and X typically shows 85 to 90 percent after more than 200,000 km; 90 packs tend to sit below that, 100 packs above. A single displayed value is no substitute for a measurement — and on the X documented proof pays off, because these cars stay expensive on resale.

What else should I check on an X?

On the battery side, the same points as on the S: which warranty regime applies (by purchase date), the pack's replacement history, and a real capacity measurement instead of a range estimate. Everything else (falcon-wing doors, suspension) is not a battery question, but belongs in every inspection.

75D, 90D & 100D / P100D (18650 era) (2016 – early 2019)

Period	net kWh	Chemistry	Cells
2016 – 2019 (75D; 60D only in 2016, a locked 75 pack)	approx. 72.5	NCA	Panasonic 18650
2016 – 2017 (90D, P90D)	approx. 85 when new	NCA	Panasonic 18650
from late 2016 (100D, P100D)	95–98 (sources disagree)	NCA	Panasonic 18650, 8,256 cells

The packs are identical to the Model S — including how they age: fleet data shows the 90s degrading markedly faster, and the 100s are the most robust choice. Because the X consumes more energy, every lost percentage point cuts deeper into everyday range than on the S.

The rare 2016 X 60D physically carries a 75 pack — check the lock status.

Raven Long Range / Performance (04/2019 – 2020)

Period	net kWh	Chemistry	Cells
2019 – 2020	95–98	NCA	Panasonic 18650

A more efficient drivetrain and 200 kW charging on the same 100 pack. As with the Model S, mind the European gap: no new deliveries from 2021 until late 2022 — cars first registered in those years are usually imports or stock vehicles.

Bought before the end of January 2020? Then the old warranty regime with no mileage limit still applies (see the FAQ).

Palladium facelift Long Range / Plaid (German deliveries from 12/2022)

Period	net kWh	Chemistry	Cells
from 12/2022	95	NCA	Panasonic 18650

New architecture, modern BMS, still 18650 cells — technically identical to the Palladium Model S. Too young for reliable long-term statements on the used market.

Battery warranty for this variant: 8 years / 240,000 km (70% minimum capacity).

The Model X shares its battery technology with the Model S — the packs are identical, the warranty regimes the same. What differs is the effect: the big SUV uses more energy, so every percentage point of SoH loss translates into more lost everyday range. And because used X models stay expensive on resale (early 75D/100D from around €25,000, Palladium close to six figures), battery proof is worth hard cash here.

Reading the SoH on a Model X

The in-car test, app self-diagnosis and hardware testers work exactly as they do on the S; the full comparison is in our guide checking Tesla battery health. One caveat: judge condition by capacity, not by displayed range — on the X that varies especially widely with towing, large wheels and climate control.

Akkubrief carries the same limit as on the Model S: we issue for the 75D (2016–2019) and for the Palladium generation (Plaid from 2021, Long Range from 2022). For the 90D, the 100D and the Raven years we have no sourced figure for how much the battery held when new, and we do not guess it. You can still connect the car and follow its history.

What to look for when buying used

First establish the warranty regime from the first owner's purchase date (FAQ), then identify the pack variant from the matrix: a 100D is the most durable choice of the early years, while a 90D deserves a particularly careful measurement. Ask for the replacement history — replacement packs are younger than the car and a selling point. And for every X out of warranty the same rule applies as on the S: you do not buy the most expensive component on someone's word, you buy it with proof.

Battery warranty

Tesla warrants the battery for 8 years with at least 70% remaining capacity. Mileage limits and exceptions are shown with the variants above and in the questions below.
