    Thanks everyone for the replies. I received a trade in offer from Tesla and I’m going today for an appraisal from CarMax. Tesla offered $61K for it as a trade, so I’m going to list it for sale at $68K. I think this price is more than reasonable considering there are no used X’s out there for less than $80K.

    I’ll go make a post in the Tesla’s for sale thread unless anyone here has a Model 3 reservation ready to configure and would like to work with me. :)

    Thanks all!

    I would stick with the X personally. The interface with 2 screens is a lot nicer IMO. Dont get me wrong the Model 3 is great but the S/X is better.

    The 3's "quite a ride" in the back seat because its more noisy than a hard ride. Add ear plugs to avoid the constant humming due to road noise.

    Still applies.
    That's why SUVs currently grab 70% of the market.
