Yep and if you look at the Munro tear down of the plaid, the actual chassis changes are huge. Easily comparable to typical generation to generation changes you’d see with bmw, Mercedes, etc. really the only thing that didn’t change is the major exterior bodywork. I’m sure Tesla will have to do so eventually, but I don’t think it’ll happen for at least another 5 years.Yes, TONS of changes from previous generation, many are subtle or hidden under the skin.

Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024
- Thread starter Sunshine Speed

I find that very unlikely. I expect this refresh of the S and X to be the major engineering overhaul for the next few years. Minor changes and trim levels sure, but otherwise u think their focus has to be on the Cybertruck, the US Highland, and the Model Y equivalent before the $25k model.

This competes nicely with the Model S so prices are going to be comparable:

I had no idea that they had made so many changes to the X, once you add in the new matrix headlights, this is a no brainer at the new price point. I didn't see that in the extensive list on TeslaTap, which btw is an amazing lay down of features.Yes, TONS of changes from previous generation, many are subtle or hidden under the skin.
Yeah honestly at this point I really have to say, the $79k new Model X makes so much sense I would seriously advise going that route instead of buying a used X, especially a used legacy X, no matter how good the deal seems.
Unfortunately, one of the many new changes compared to an older X is the lack of sensors by going vision-only. The constant beeps when parking is annoying as heck. I know you can turn it off, but then you have a $80K car that can’t even detect surroundings.
Yes they do & will when the price is $80K and under.. You can claim your tax credit next year up front too.

I worked for UPS for ten years, sensors are for sissy's. If you can't back a 53' trailer on a dock with mirrors, you probably need the sensors. I haven't used them on any Tesla since buying for first Model S in early 2013, which didn't have them either.
That's fine about backing up. However, the lack of the USS on the X means the driver's door does not open up all the way for you. And I really like that feature.
Respectfully, huge props to you for being a professional driver and well above average parking skills. But the point of assisting technologies like USS park assist (and automatic parallel parking) is that it helps enable just about anyone to maneuver confidently.
I'm sure there's other things that you rely on technology to assist you but a different career professional would breeze through the task.

That was a long time ago..... I use the tech, when it works, but most tech can't do it as well as a trained driver.

I didn't understand the impact to the auto door feature, but in my house we call that a 1st world problem....

Tesla has done nothing to fix this as far as I'm aware.

An "easy" fix could be to drop the height adjustment from the air suspension and optimize the angles for that.

Great to hear they’ve worked out the kinks. Especially since I just ordered a Model X to take advantage of the FUSC transfer offer.
