For those who own the MY, I presume it uses MCU2. MCU1 in the S and X were prone to eMMC failure due to its 8GB chip limitation and excessive data logging. Since MCU2, I don't believe I heard of MCU2 failing, as it has a 64GB chip and is relatively new, so only time will tell. But...

$7,500 tax credit is a game changer. I went to the local Tesla store yesterday to check out the Model Y. Store was packed and the MY floor unit was sold.

Not true, at least not to that of Tesla's extent. My Lexus LX570 has 116k miles and is 11 years old. Absolutely impeccable fit and finish. One of my staff has a ~15 year old Honda Pilot; also no problems with issues that seem to plague the M3 and MY.

OP, have you considered a Rav4 Hybrid?

Following.

OP seriously, 27k miles? A benefit of EVs (and hybrids) is regenerative braking, which should allow brake pads to last a LONG time. I've heard Prius owners not having to replace brake pads until well past 100k miles. I would assume Tesla's pads would have similar life spans, if not longer...

Really??? If someone needs service for their Tesla, or has a concern regarding their vehicle, he/she can only text?

Sorry to hear of this OP. Makes me weary of buying a Tesla, as I'm looking at getting a used Model X or 3.

For a used Model X (or even the S and 3 for comparison) how much should one budget for annual maintenance and repairs?

Sorry to hear. Can you share the problems you were having? What are you replacing the X with? Another Tesla, or an ICE vehicle?

20k is pretty low. Is it because of the staggered tire setup? Tesla's high torque? I had a 996 turbo that also had a staggered tire setup, and those tires did not last very long. Lucky to get 15k miles IIRC. Gets pricey real quick. How long are the tires on the Model 3 lasting?

How much did you pay if you don't me asking?

Can you share link or zip code? All the used Model Xs I'm seeing online on Tesla's site start at $55k.

Appreciate your honest view. You have/had 3 Tesla's, so there's good credibility. Your take, along with the link @cwerdna posted from Edmunds, seem to mirror that of Consumer Reports reliability rating. As of the new year, I drive roughly 1,100 miles per month in a 11 year old Lexus SUV that...
