Thanks for the input. I only had the X for one day, drove it maybe 50 miles. I find the Y to be very smooth (I'd been driving Mustangs and a Volt so maybe that's why) so that's interesting to hear. I don't think I'd be getting the refresh like your '22. The deals are with the '18s-'20s...

Very curious to hear how you like it compared to your Y. I've been debating on getting a '19 Performance to replace my wife's car but I'm not sure if it will be a let down compared to a '23 Y. I have driven a '22 LR X before and thought it drove similar to a Y, it didn't feel much bigger to...

Happy they are adding colors but this is going to be a really low selling color, why spend 2k on this when you get the darker gray for $0? Maybe if it was 1k I could see some people choosing it just to be different. I may be a bit biased because I dislike sliver cars.

I have yet to drive the new M3P or a Model S. I did have a '22 X loaner and I didn't experience any of that. Was that a pre-refresh model?

Even with the refresh the "dated" MS is a much better looking car IMO. I also wouldn't consider a 2.5 year old car, "old". Someone made an interesting point, about if I have a Y, I should get the S. That does concern me that they are too alike, not sure if anyone agrees with that...

50K for a new M3P, 50k for a '21.5 MS w/ Arachnid wheels 33k miles, or 34k for a '22 M3P no options 21k miles. Don't really need the versatility of the S but definitely prefer the looks to either M3P. Not sold on the new M3P front headlights, hoping they'll grow on me. Which would you do...

I hope we get more insight on this thread. I've actually been mulling over something similar, get a '21.5 model S with 30k miles and Arachnid wheels for 50k or '22 M3P no options 21k miles for 34k. I don't know that I need the practicality of the S since we have a Y, but hands down it's the...

Just too dull and too small. I actually liked the old lights, kind of Porsche-esque in my eyes. That being said, neither M3 is a looker IMO. I like the Y and the S. The X....not horrid but the worst of the bunch.

I do not like the new headlights on the M3 at all so I may wait until Fall and hope to get a good deal on a used M3P to replace my wifes 10 year old Mustang convertible. Figure there will be more on the market due to the refresh.

I also had good luck. I traded in a '18 Volt, Tesla gave me the 2nd best quote (got 4) and it ended up being just about tied for the best considering I saved 20k in taxes. A friend of mine traded in a '13 Prius and said they actually gave him 2k more than the next best offer he got.

Yeah I had a Mustang that I put summers on for the warmer months and winters on for the colder ones. I found that once you got around freezing it could be an adventure taking a turn. If I were to buy this car, I'd probably get some all seasons that are performance based and sell the summers.

I was in 97% in upstate NY I believe, so mine was pretty much 0 for a bit there:

I had a 22 X LR loaner and I didn't mind the yoke, the buttons for blinkers, or the amount of time the doors took to open. I did however hate using the touchscreen for drive and reverse, seemed hard to do quickly which sometimes you need. Curious do you own an X or just going off of what...

Are the falcon wing doors that annoying to live with? Wifes car is 10 years old and I've been keeping an eye out on 2020ish Model X Performance, prices keep dropping, down to about 45k now with low miles (50k or less).

Just an update in case anyone read this and was curious, turned out for my car it was a wiring harness that was exposed. Probably built that way and it finally corroded and broke apart. The other person that had the same issue actually needed a battery replacement. Got my car back last...
