Question: Should I upgrade my 2016 X 90D 65k mi to a 2020 Long Range X now or post battery day?
What's making waiting hard?
We all know the +s of a new X vs the original 2016 version which is out of warranty.
My 2016 X needs repairs (~$1500) and I'm planning to drive cross country to my family soon (pending COVID). The drive will be painful in my current X as I will charge slower (max range is only 220mi) and adds 6hrs & 8 more charging stops than the 2020X. I'll probably drive a lot more to Southern California as COVID and my dog won't allow me to easily fly.
Trade in value sucks and will suck more after I add an additional 7k+ miles on it and also pay the service $1500 which will be needed before any long distance drive. I was told the service needed will not change the trade in value, so I'm just losing it.
Still wait post battery day? Sucks Elon moved it out another month. I realize this is asking you to pull out your crystal ball, but this is the part of buying Tesla I hate...always a better version around the corner. ...or just buy more Tesla stock and let it pay for the X in the future :/
