I assume you mean the BMW. At least I hope you do.

Sell while you still can.
We love our X too and have owned it all but 3 years. Was planning to buy a Model 3, but timing on the dual motor version didn't work out with when we needed to purchase a new car and I've converted my M3 reservation (which Tesla has been hounding me about) to a MY pre-order.
The X still has its place and I don't see the MY impacting it too much. Some people want the bit larger car and a mostly usable 3rd row. Higher performance, etc.. The doors still have a coolness factor for some. I like the FWDs but also have some issues with them. All things considered, the X has been one of the best cars I've ever owned -- definitely top 3.
I'm really looking forward to the Tesla pickup and hopefully a large SUV as well as a utility van built on the same platform.
Elon has said it many times in the past few years, and said it again last night; that Tesla overreached with the Model X by trying to do too much (Falcon Wings, huge windshield, powered doors) at once and making it too different from the car it was supposed to be based on (the X only shares about 30% of its parts with the S).
The Model Y is like the “anti-X”. It will share about 70% of its parts with the 3. It has no radical new features. Fundamentally, the only significant differences are that the Y is slightly larger, has an optional third row, and a hatchback. It will very likely have the same battery pack and drivetrains that the 3 has.
Tesla will be able to take all the manufacturing lessons it has learned from the 3 and apply them when building the Y production line. So Tesla will be able to ramp Y production much more quickly and won’t face the problems it had in 2018 with the 3. The current battery pack and motor production lines for the 3 can simply be expanded for the Y.
I think that within 3 years Tesla will be selling far more Y’s than 3’s.
While I agree in principle, man do I love the falcon wing doors on my Model X... Same thing goes with the powered front doors as well... Use them all of the freaking time and they're great... LOL

Hi,
keeping the X beyond the end of warranty period might be an expensive option, precisely due to the magnificent FWD.
Love the X, and my wife does also! Win-win. BMW 335 just sits and gathers dust now.
2011 then you need the MCU 42 Flux Capacitor upgrade.I think the people like me who bought the Model X 5-seater are interested in the Y. 99.9% of the time it is just my wife and I. I am on a lease that expires in May 2011, so the timing may work out.
I've seen reports that the MY has about a 3kw bigger battery, can anyone else confirm?
after more than a year.Can you point me to any stories of expensive FWD failures? There must be plenty of Xs out of warranty now.
My wife is really disappointed the Y doesn't have FWDs, as am I.
Still at least it makes the X unique, with a clear USP.
