AI Market Summary

Battery capacity loss is the primary concern—early 2017 75D/90D models show 5–10% degradation over 100k miles; replacement is extremely costly.
Strong value for an electric car with this mileage; petrol equivalents cost similar but lack zero-tax-band and fuel savings long-term.
Suspension wear (lower control arm bushings, ball joints) is common at 50k–80k miles—expect clunking, uneven tyres; budget for replacement before purchase.
Inspect door handles carefully; mechanical failures jam or jam handles shut on early 2017 units; test all four doors multiple times.
Request full service history and any battery health report from Tesla; independent diagnostics (€150–300) will reveal true capacity state before committing.

Tesla Model S 2017

Reliability

4/5

The 2017 Tesla Model S is a well-engineered electric vehicle with excellent performance and technology, but early examples can suffer from battery degradation, suspension wear, and occasional electrical gremlins. Ownership is generally smooth if you budget for specialist servicing and potential battery conditioning costs. Long-term value is strong in the Irish/UK market due to high demand for used EVs and improving charging infrastructure.

Known issues

Battery degradation: early 2017 models (particularly 75D and 90D) report 5-10% capacity loss over 100,000 miles; Tesla's battery management has improved but age is a factor
Suspension: front lower control arm bushings and ball joints wear prematurely (50,000–80,000 miles), causing clunking and uneven tyre wear
Door handles: mechanical failures causing handles to jam or not present; early models more prone than later revisions
12V auxiliary battery: original batteries may fail around 5–6 years; replacement is expensive (€400–600 at Tesla service)
Touchscreen failures: occasional MCU (Media Control Unit) crashes or unresponsive displays; software updates usually resolve, but hardware failure possible
Rear seat latch failures: occasional reports of rear seats not latching securely, particularly on left side

Good for

Exceptional acceleration and handling; 0–100 km/h in 3.2–4.8 seconds depending on variant keeps driving engaging
Minimal brake wear thanks to regenerative braking; brake pads often last 150,000+ miles with light top-up friction braking only
Silent, comfortable motorway cruising with excellent ride quality on Supercharger road trips
Low running costs: electricity roughly 60–70% cheaper per mile than petrol; no oil, spark plugs, or filter changes needed
