We're getting ready to take delivery of our 2021 LR+ Model X with 7 seats. We've used Honda Odysseys for the past 18 years. In those 18 years and over 440,000 miles, we've gone through five Odysseys. To justify such a big initial sticker price, I made the table below to help our family contextualize owning the world's most advanced vehicle. While such figures below may be estimates, I think they're true to cost. Some information to note: the figures below only apply to Texas since that's where we live.
We travel about 40,000 miles a year and our Honda Odysseys always break down after 100,000 miles. So, the "price + options" section accounts for the purchase of 3 Honda Odysseys over an 8 year period.
After an estimated 8 year period, the Model X not only retains its value longer, we won't have to drive because of Full Self Driving, and we'll save ~$32,458 over its lifetime.
