Here's the scenario . . .
I own a 2017 model x. I have not upgraded the MCU (yet). It is paid off. My wife primarily drives it and puts maybe 3k miles/yr. We do use it to drive to our beach house frequently and a few road trips every year up to PA to visit in laws, etc.
My daily driver is a 2022 MYP. My plan is to get the CT (who knows when that will happen) and turn in the MYP lease.
My question . . .
Do I sell the 2017 MX and get my wife a new MY LR or do I keep the 2017 MX and just upgrade the MCU. For the record, I am grandfathered in for unlimited free supercharging, although the cost of supercharging is not prohibitive to me. I am somewhat concerned about battery after 8 years and somewhat concerned about wear and tear cost of MX doors. A new MY would solve my "lack of warranty" fears.
My wife couldn't care less and has no interest talking it out with me. Looking for some advice. Am I crazy to give up the MX for the stated reasons? I still like it and not having a car payment is a plus, but the $750/month for a new MYLR isn't really an issue either. A new MX seems crazy, since she drives so little. I can't rationalize the $1600/month for a car that sits in the driveway most of the time and/or goes to target on the weekends.
It looks like I can sell the MX (back to Telsa) for about $45k+ now (probably more if I want to go private). What will the value be after the 8 year battery warranty is up? Should I essentially swap out the MX for a new MY now or just hold on to the MX and upgrade the MCU to make it more functional?
Appreciate all input.
