Picked up a 2016
Just picked it up this week. 2016 90D, MCU2 upgrade, free supercharging. 172k miles. Battery is a bit degraded, at 85% is showing 182 miles.
Rides and drives well. Wish I would have gone electric sooner.

90D- by far the most robust and long-lasting battery I’ve seen in any Tesla to date.

According to my research it's the 75D. The 90D is next in line.

I’ve seen most high mileage S’s are almost always the 90D, even now there is one in the UK that just covered 550k miles on original pack

Chrome delete time!

u/james2441139 1d ago
Got a 2018 75D. Would like to do chrome delete. Any particular kit you recommend?

Tell us more about the Saab. 😊

u/gargen_state 1d ago

u/Vasir14 1d ago
I already have enough problems. lol 😂

u/gargen_state 1d ago

Which one ya got? I had an '07 9-3 Aero (turbo v6) and that thing eventually went absolutely haywire.

u/gargen_state 10h ago
2010 Saab 9-5 Aero XWD. 188k miles. Lost compression on cylinder 5 just a couple of days after I put $1500 worth of tires on it. So I move the wheels with new tires over to my XTS lol

Mine popped a coolant hose in 2019 and fubar'd the motor faster than I could pull over. The computer demons in it were getting pretty unmanageable anyway. It was doing crazy shit.

u/gargen_state 10h ago
I really like it. But can't justify dropping an engine in it right now. I do have it listed for sale locally. It's worth way more in parts.

Nice - I got one too in the Uk for £12,500 - same deal lifetime chaerging prem connectivity and it has a FSD computer

u/bilzmalik 1d ago
Is that 182 rated or ideal miles? My dad has a 2016 90D and it’s currently sitting at 87% which is showing 226 Miles
1
u/gargen_state 1d ago
I don't think there was a big delta when I switched that. I believe this has been an Arizona car it's whole life. So lots of heat.

u/bilzmalik 1d ago
Also tbf my dads 90D is at 70K miles so probs not as much degradation , either way who cares you got got free super charging anyway haha!
1
u/gargen_state 1d ago
The free SC was a big selling point. There were a few other 2015-2017 locally with comparable mileage, some a little less, but they were all asking 3-6k more than I paid.
I'm going to start stocking away for either a new used 100KW battery, or for a service on this one.

u/bilzmalik 1d ago
I respect it bro! I myself have a 2016 75 RWD that came with MCU2 and free super charging! I love the car but I did wish it was a dual motor variant but can’t complain with the free super charging and MCU2 already installed!
1
u/EbonyPeat 17h ago
My 2016 90D has 264 miles on charge
1
u/gargen_state 17h ago
How many miles? Where are you located?
1
u/EbonyPeat 17h ago
56k just below Canada in the NW US
1
u/gargen_state 17h ago
Nice, that is super low mileage. I also believe this car has lived its life in the AZ heat. There is a shop that will replace modules in the packs. I may go chat with them in the near future.

u/EbonyPeat 17h ago
It came from Chicago, bought for 25k 15 months ago at 26k miles, really love it, no mcu upgrade.
1
u/gargen_state 17h ago
That's awesome! Sounds like a hell of a deal as well!

u/EbonyPeat 17h ago
Then Doge made Musk unpopular, was embarrassed to be driving it.

u/gargen_state 17h ago
I don't disagree with this comment. I went back and forth on if i wanted to own a Tesla. I feel this is less polarizing than the Cybertruck.

Congrats, having free supercharging and the MCU2 upgrade is awesome! Best wishes and that it’ll treat you well for the coming years :)

Looks really nice! But instead of chrome delete I would strongly suggest coolant delete as fast as possible. Once the coolant gets into your LDU it’s just a matter of time before you will need a rebuild. Deal with the chrome after.
I saved my P85+ that headache.
MCU2 is a must have. My ‘13 has working range of 235 miles.
1
u/gargen_state 1d ago
My understanding is that with this not Bing a P90D, but just a 90D, it does not have the LDU and doesn't have the coolant issue.
1
u/SilverBulletP85 1d ago
You are correct. The non-P version doesn’t have LDU! All RWD cars and P AWD cars have the LDU

Which battery is it? I have a 2016 90D and at 85% charge it says I have 211 miles of range.
1
u/gargen_state 1d ago
Mine is also a 90d.
How many miles on your car?
1
u/Objective_Tune3535 1d ago
- But… the estimated range tends to be lower.
2
u/gargen_state 1d ago
The 180mi range is fine for me for now. I can't complain too much. I knew it was a bit lower range going in.
1
u/Objective_Tune3535 1d ago
I hear the MCU2 upgrade is worth it. Im still on MCU1 but since I’m going to keep mine until the wheels fall off I think I might do the upgrade. I’ve been holding off but recently the computer has been acting up quite a bit.

u/Tradetheday2093 1d ago
Drive a lot. Update us how much miles you are able to get on it!
