Trade out of warranty model x for model y?

[indominusX]

Need some wisdom from the community. I have a 2020 model x with nearly 50k miles. Thinking of trading in for a less issue prone Tesla Y. Few things complicating my decision is my X has free lifetime supercharging (which we use 90% to charge) and free premium connectivity, the X is larger (we have 6 seat option) but also not as efficient as the Y. We have 3 years left to pay off the X. A new Y 7 seater with tax credits would put us in the same ball park of cost 48k as we currently owe on the X. Anyone made a similar purchase. Thanks for the advice.

Be prepared: Tesla won't give you anywhere near what your X is worth on trade.

Was planning on private sale rather than a Tesla trade in.

I would never trade my 2017 x for a model y. Maybe our model 3, but ever the x.

I’d keep it till the battery warranty runs out. And start setting aside $ for non-warranty repairs

Be sure to drive a Model Y before making a switch. They are totally different vehicles.

I’ve thought about what to do when my 2019 MX warranty expires in September ‘23. I thought about doing the same thing (sell and purchase a new MY). I got an X-Care quote and it’s less than the sales tax on a new MY.

I would never make that trade...

If you want peace of mind, just buy an extended warranty and keep the X.

Any recommendations on a warranty?

Personally IMO, the Model Y should be much more reliable than any X. I considered the Model Y (actually had it on order) when I last traded. But the trade-in value Tesla gave me for my old X was so good ($80k for a 2018 with just shy of 50,000 miles on it). So I just took a new Model X instead. The Model X is a great car, but I would never own one out of warranty.

100%. I prefer driving the Y day to day but the X is supreme when it comes to road trips.

How much do you want to sell it for

 

[oldsport]

the model y is so boring... i m sure less issues to deal with but still so boring...

 

[Sandiegodoug]

I love our model x, especially the fsd. Works really well in town and on the freeway, but our new performance y is just a blast to drive.

 

[oldsport]

also to consider is if your profession requires presenation as part of daily duty... the mx gets much better mileage...

If you use free SC 90% of the time...seems like a no brainer. Of course it depends on the location, but I'm saving about $4-5k/year on charging.

$80k for a 2018 with just shy of 50,000 miles on it

That was last year right? I know values were up but that's absurd. I figure they'd give me about $38k for my 2017 at this point, based on a couple other dealer quotes.

June 2022, to be specific
