2016 P90d or New Model Y Performance

[kril74]

I want to Telsa. today to see my preowned MX90d. The exterior was in pristine condition, but the interior seems to be used a bit and in need of reconditioning. While at the SC, I Test drove the new MY Performance and really liked it. My question is, would it be better to purchase a new Tesla MY Perf or stay with the P90d? I'm torn now. I like the style and space of the MX, but I would have to recondition the interior seats.. I'm also told a lot of the new software upgrades will not be available for the 2016 MX I am planning on purchasing.

Thoughts, suggestions or recommendations??

Buying new gets new. New Y is new.

Only you know what’s available in your wallet.

I'd go for the MYP, but that's just me. New tech is more fun. BTW. How'd you get to test drive a MYP? Do they just have them laying around in Texas, lol?

Wait till you see the repair costs on the X. I've seen people complain about all sorts of issues, and others who said they haven't had any. So it's a mixed bag, but the X isn't a cheap vehicle to have repairs done if they are needed.

I feel your pain. I will be in a similar position soon. I'll have to decide between a used X, new Y, or the CT (if available when we get back to the states).

The X does have that "wow" factor that a lot of people like, whereas the Y, while still beautiful, is less showy.

You didn't mention what AP suite is on the X you're looking at, but I'm assuming a 2016 probably has AP 2.0 or lower. This would limit some features (no sentry mode) and possible FSD features.

The other big consideration is the battery tech and range. That P90X is probably rated at 250 miles. That would be the assumption with a 100% healthy battery, which I wouldn't assume on a 4 year old car. Y will get you 315-316 new, as long as you don't add the PUP. Plus the newer battery tech on the Y will charge much faster than the X (which may also be throttled due to age/degradation).

X will come with free supercharging. The Y will not. Might be a factor if you are going to do a LOT of traveling.

X has been in production for years now, whereas the Y is brand new and they are still working out the kinks (Sandy Munro recently showed how Tesla used a 3D printed part on the Y he's tearing down, because they fixed a flaw and didn't want to delay production).

Just a few things to consider.

If I could buy an AWD MY and get it within 3-4 weeks at most I would buy it tonight. Not knowing when a non P will be available is forcing my hand to buy a 16 MX 75D or maybe 90D depending on price, mileage and condition.

HA.. They had one a the dealership in my area. and were literally begging for me to take delivery of it... I think sales are really down.

Good points all the way around.. I've been debating all those same areas.
