A used Tesla Model X might seem like an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers looking for an eco-friendly car.

However, there are some major downsides to consider before investing in a pre-owned Tesla Model X.

Firstly, buying a used electric car means you won’t benefit from the full warranty offered by the manufacturer.

Without this cover, any repairs needed to keep the car running will come out of your pocket.

Furthermore, with second hand Teslas it can be difficult to assess the remaining battery life or check that all of its electronic features are still working correctly.

It’s best to think twice before buying a used Tesla Model X and explore alternative options if you're trying to stay within budget.
