My wife was sold after testing the MYP. luckily they didn't have any MX to SEE.

Just to be pedantic - MY 7 seater cannot be configured as an MYP 7 seater, only MYLR. Boost package != turning an MYLR an MYP quickness nor top speed.I wanted a Model 3, however with 3 kiddos and potential guests we opted into the Model Y LR 7 seater. For the price, I think we all felt that it was a good bargain. It also has an option for the Performance Package which I am looking into getting, but just by itself when I test drove it, it was pretty quick so daddy will be happy with it too.
I believe you sort of answered your own question.I'm curious. what does MX offer (more) over MY other than the apparent size, falcon wing door, automatic door, yoke, and air suspension?
I downsized from an X to a Y and wish I would've done it sooner. The efficiency gained alone was totally worth it (X is extremely inefficient and you'll almost never get the rated range). Now that the prices have gone up exponentially, there just aren't many pros to buying the X over the Y.I'm posting this in the Y forum in hopes owners will give me good reasons to save $60k and get a Y. I'm a recent Model S owner (replaced two-door coupe because of back doors and car seats for kids)
Wife priorities:
1. Big enough for a rear-facing car seat behind driver. Child seat is imported from Europe and adjusts on rails for long-legged 5-year-old. MBZ 350GLE is adequate. My Model S isn't (but fine for one kid behind passenger, and future forward facing behind driver). That 6-position real third row in the X is appealing for when family visits, but the Y back row might take a forward facing 7-year old and do the job. Shoulder and head room are not a concern for this family car.
2. Safety. Both presumably excellent, but mass has no equal.
3. Image. X has cachet and rarity. Y is more pedestrian design.
My priorities:
1. X is nearly double the price.
2. Y gets the slight performance nod. (I'm a P100d owner and Plaid is not a consideration.)
3. Happy wife (should be #1, but note that long term financial security is also "happy wife.") I agree with her on safety and image.
Other factors.
- Going all-electric for the family means that a long family drive trip (Texas to Florida) is more constrained.
- We keep cars for a long time if we're happy with them.
- Gotta test the yoke. A test drive of each would be nice.
If you can afford a Model X (my definition of "afford" is that it would not make a dent to your everyday expenses and constitute a relatively small percentage of your overall net worth), there's no reason to look at the Model Y, especially if your wife prefers the X. There is a reason why the X is almost double the price of the Y. Of course, if you test drive the X and Y and find that the Y is the superior car for your wife's needs, that would be great since you'd save $60k. But on paper there shouldn't be any comparison between the current X & Y.
I’m trying to imagine that in a Minnesota winter as it slowly opens and allows all the heat to spill out of the side and roof and then slowly closes on the refrigerator it just created.For me it was really the gullwing doors, just not a fan.
Maybe someone mentioned it..but it will take a LONG time to get an X, assuming you order it from Tesla....we're talking 1 year.I'm posting this in the Y forum in hopes owners will give me good reasons to save $60k and get a Y.

I fell like it would be hard to contain a rowdy dog as well.For me it was really the gullwing doors, just not a fan.
Vastly safer, assuming one selects wisely. Same as with vehicle designs, they differ greatly in strength, energy absorption, idiot-proof-ness, and ability to keep an occupant alive in a marginal scenario. Also, Rear-facing is vastly safer in a frontal collision than forward facing.$1k car seat is safer than $100 car seat. Sure.
May I ask why your BIL hates MY?Model X all the way! Out of all models the Y is honestly the least esthetically pleasing. It literally looks like a childs bicycle helmet. Not only esthetics but its barely larger than the model 3 in terms of space. my brother in law has a Y and hates it and is actually trying to sell it and buy an S.
