Used MX v New Model Y
- Thread starter Msd801
- Start date
We test drove the Y and X back to back Saturday and I could say a million things but I’ll sum it up like this. After driving the Y, I keep trying to talk myself into it. After driving the X, I keep trying to talk myself out of it.
Very similar. I put the deposit on a 3 a long time ago, heard the Y was coming so I pulled it. Saw the Y finally and said meh. Drove a 3, said blah (I truly dislike the minimal interior). Then drove an X, loved it. Then rode in a Y and it is a...3. I don’t care how much the tech is upgraded (which doesn’t seem to be quantified most of the time beyond the credit card key and a couple of minor features), it doesn’t have the presence of the X and I hate the interior.

Have an X and a 3. Everytime I drive the 3 I am disappointed by the lack of features. Auto doors, power trunk, wing doors. Drove a Y for comparison and confirmed. Model X is just superior in every way, even with an MCU 1.

I’ll add my thanks, as well. I’ve been trying all day to talk myself out of the X but I keep circling back to it. I feel I lucked into a pretty good deal on a LOADED 100D, so if it passes my inspection on delivery day, I’m in!
There is not that much difference in range from a 2016/17 90 to 100 FYI.
I also had a Y on order then test drove a 3 and an X and there is very little comparison. The X is definitely the luxury brand. I can imagine not having a dashboard and the built in screen. The 3/Y with the attached ipad screen is like driving a souped up golf cart in comparison.

have X and 3, considered trading X in for Y. At the moment, keeping the X though and thinking maybe trade in 3 for Y instead. With 2 kids, the extra space in the X compared to 3: can't sit anyone in between 2 car seats like we could in our Accord, so I need to see a Y to see if the 2.8" wider make it possible to utilize that middle space. Only consideration for MY if you are thinking 6 seat X is the seats in the X won't fold flat like the 2nd row in Y--so by hobbies that require lots of stuff, worth thinking about whether that could be a factor?
Our X is 2016 so MCU1: has dog mode and a fake sentry mode (can't record), no dash cam. I do love the dash cam and sentry mode on my 3, but it's not enough yet to make me upgrade to MCU2... I am secretly hoping my MCU1 dies so I can justify the upgrade.
Does XM above mean XM radio? Having streaming audio has completely changed how I listen to audio. I think the Slacker default is decent (even my wife has switched to 80s 90s and Today radio station), and with that and podcasts from TuneIn, I stopped listening to FM radio. No commercials and better audio quality! Then they added Spotify, and with Spotify Premium, the audio quality is another step better. That's why I love Tesla, every part of the car has been modernized.

Yeah; I think so, too. It has 26k miles and also has the High Fidelity Sound package. It's being shipped from Brooklyn to Cincinnati, where I'll take delivery. I saw it come up on the used Tesla webpage late one evening and didn't immediately jump to get it and waited until the next morning to hit the "Buy" button because the pics that were with the listing were HORRIBLE. The lighting is so bad it makes the pearl white paint look yellow. In fact, when I showed the listing to my wife, the first thing she said was, "You're buying a YELLOW vehicle?" No well-defined interior OR exterior shot, really. Can't even tell what brand the tires are or what condition they're in, although I'm pretty sure when I zoomed in on one shot, I could faintly see the last three letters of Continental. Although I'm complaining about the pics, it may be the reason this stayed available overnight for me to be able to have the chance to acquire it. Like I think I wrote in another post, on delivery day I may be in for a BIG surprise - I just don't know if it'll be a good surprise or bad one.
I saw that MX - agreed with the pics but you can't pass up the white interior fully loaded unicorns.
OP - what are you looking for in terms of exterior, interior, and options?

If buying a used X, get a read on the service history. When did they replace front mounts (shudder issue), any other issues etc.
FWIW: X's second stalk makes driving with AP so much better.
Finally, skip the P (does your wife really need a quasi track vehicle) and get a 100....better battery, charging speed, etc.
btw: I have both a 90 and 100 & 100 is so much better built.

100D
Six seat
Subzero (wife is very jealous of my heated steering wheel so it’s a requirement)
Free supercharging
FSD
Ideal tow package for the hitch but could go install after the fact (its just for bike rack)
A 100D with 6 seater, PUP, Subzero, High Amp Charger, Obsidian black with Tan interior (no high-fidelity sound) just sold yesterday for $66.5. Have to be quick and dedicated in the stalking

Went to Carlsbad delivery center Saturday to test drive a Y. It is an awesome car. Solid, fast, good handling and pretty spacious.
Spoke to a Tesla owner (3&X) that was picking up a new Y for his wife (trading in her 3). Asked him if he was also going to trade in his X for a Y and he just looked at me like I was asking a crazy question.
Summed it up for me. While 3&Y are great cars, the Model X is on another level.
