Trying to become educated on Tesla as a whole and specifically the Model X. Looking to replace our X5 as our family hauler. Wife does a ton of driving around all day/night/weekend for the kids and puts about 15,000+ miles a year on her SUV. It's mostly local driving, stop and go running errands style of driving. I'm tired of the $3200+ a year in gas, the $1300 brake and rotor jobs, the random but frequent $500 stops at the dealers etc.
First thing first, any year X will be a huge difference compared to the X5 we currently have. With this being said the newest, latest most up to date Model X might not be the best fit for us due to cost and how we will be using the X.
So a few obvious questions. Is a 2018 better than a 17 which is better than a 16. Do we stay away from the 2016 because it'll be close to 4yrs old when we are ready to buy in the fall? Won't need autopilot, etc. but also want to make sure we get the most useful options.
Budget would be around 80k if possible. Thanks in advance for the advice while I try to learn all the Tesla acronyms.
We've had about 45 cars and after a short test drive in the X we fell in love. It's an awesome SUV.
