Haha, but I think the Cyber Truck will be way more popular than the X after the first 2 or so yrs. I'll be trading in my Y, but I'm a little over 100,000k on the waiting list so it'll be a while. Hopefully some time next year 🤞🏾.
@@send2dwight that’s awesome! I hope you get a cybertruck early in the list. I have a reservation, but we’re moving out of the country next year so I may not follow through.
Stephanie, I appreciate your honest evaluation of various features. I hadn't thought of the attention that the doors draw & I feel the same. Here in Mississippi, just having ANY Tesla unwanted brings attention. Chris, I always find value in your analysis. Thank you both!
I have a Model X Plaid and the thing I don't like is the windshield. Too much sun on sunny days. I put more tint at the top and that makes it much better. After one year and 2 months I've had no need for service except for one minor issue which the mobile service took care of. At my age of 77 the last thing I wanted is to drive was an expensive Mercedes or Cadillac. (How boring!!!) Our grand kids love the falcon wing doors and see the car as a rocket ship. Thanks for sharing. Good idea for a video.
Great video. Last November I looked at a new Y. Didn't like the ride (suspension) coming from an air suspension Lexus GX, so got a used Model X and glad I did. Love the power doors, driver display, monorail style windshield and of course the ride.
Totally agree with the suspension issue. I even drove the newer version of the model y which should be a bit smoother. Still uncomfortable for me. Once you drove a good suspension, it's difficult to go back.
We are also a 2 Model Y family. Wamted a 3 as 2nd car but price difference was so small that it would have been dumb to go with a 3 that is less practical
7:58 seriously? I mean, I got one X in the neighborhood and people couldn't care less. They often park at the local supermarket I'm also going and people just walk by without even noticing the falcon wing doors ;D
Depends a lot on the area I think. CA has bunch of S+X, but here in Germany for example you maybe see 1 X in 1000 teslas you see, even S is actually pretty rare here, it's like 99% 3+Y so seeing especially an X with the falcon doors is really cool. I actually never saw them open, only ever saw an X parked somewhere or driving
I have the Y seven Seater...the one complaint is the second row seat rails have sharp edges...so be careful getting in and out from the third row...and there's not a whole lot of foot space for the third row seats.
Roof topper! Amen. We used one on our GL. The Thule topper with their matching duffels makes loading and unloading the topper a snap. Only downside is the slight whistle from the rails when the topper is off.
Your likes of the X is exactly why I think it is the best car for me. I just love the space and the features. Will continue to "settle" for my Y :D. - the best car I personally have ever owned.
I love my 2023 Model X for all the reasons you gave. Didn't get the white seats, so no problems there. So far (fingers crossed) there have been no service issues in six weeks. My one complaint is that the car overheats the garage when charging. I had the same problem with a loaner Model S, but never with my previous 3 or Y. I may come to love this issue in the depths of winter in Chicago, but it is a bummer in the hot summer.
The ford lightning is a solid EV. The utility/comfort and unique feature set it provides with great range on the ER, and reliable fast charging. Massive cabin is perfect for kids (unless you need 6 seats).
Great list. We had a Model X for 4 years and it had issues about every 3 months. Our Model X had only one minor issue that mobile service fixed in 15 minutes in my garage.
Great video. The only thing I would miss would be the air suspension. Make sure to get your Y with a hitch. I have traveled on 3000 mile trips with mine and would use a cargo rack that plugging into my 2" receiver and a weatherproof bin with wheels on one end. Super easy to roll into a Hotel.
Yes, I thought of the tow hitch with cargo rack as well. We have this on our Audi Q5 and I love it for Thanksgiving road trips where we carrying grandma in the back middle seat and extra luggage. The battery/fuel consumption has got to be way less with the tow hitch over the roof rack solution.
Oh man, I got my X the same time you did. Not sure if you intended it, but this video brought the feels. From the thumbnail to Stephanie saying she didn't want to think about it leaving the next day. Also the outro where Stephanie was so humble in getting to drive the car the first time. I have totally anthropomorphized the car at this point, and would no doubt sob like a baby to have to watch it be towed away on a carvana rollback. I do know what you're saying on it being flashy, but I think that's what makes it so special also. Very balanced outlook, and tell Stephanie she can come ride in mine if she ever misses it too much. 😂
@@DirtyTesla I hear you. 😭 The X is something to behold for sure. I've never had anyone in it that wasn't super impressed. I don't know if it's growing up with knight rider or transformers or what, but this car seems to have a personality, much moreso than any other car I've owned.
Recommendations, i got white start covers over white seats, solves dirty problem. If Tesla has hitch, we just did a harbor freight hitch carrier 3000 miles model X. Gave us lots of extra space. Berri No-ICE.
I have seven seater intended for grandkids yet even my average sized sone and 5’8” daughter can ride back there around town. Very happy I went with that option and FSD @10k even though doubt hardware 3 will ever achieve true FSD. have yet to use tow hitch but still glad I got it for possible future camping trips.
I totally agree the 7 seater Model Y is perfect for the occasional short trip especially if you put them in the back seat. I have the 7 seat Model Y and had both children and on rare occasion an adult sit back there.
here’s something you didn’t mention / consider; large people just do NOT fit comfortably in the Model 3 or Y, but DO fit easily in the Model S or X. Been driving my ancient 2012 Model S for 11 years now, and had a reservation for a M3, went to sit in one.. nope, not happening. I have an early CyberTruck reservation for Dual with FSD, should be on the early production list, we’ll see. I will miss “unlimited free Supercharging”, which came with my 2012 MS 😳
14:27 don't judge Tesla white based on the Model X. The perforations in the seats makes a HUGE difference. The Model 3 and Y do not have that and the white is fantastic.
Chris, I know you love the FSD part of your channel, but I do have a suggestion for you to think about for your wife’s Model Y. Many, if not most, of what you have with the Model X you can get via after market accessories. They just came out with the Model X/S yoke for the 3/Y. You can get the driver’s screen, too. The auto doors are available, too. It would be interesting since the cost should be much less that having the X. It would even be great if Tesla created a Model Y+ that includes these sort of things. In other words expand the models available. Just a thought. I love your FSD videos and enjoy watching them all the time. Keep up the work.
They have auto doors aftermarket??? I would LOVE to get for my MS. Do you know of a specific place to get it? Is it the same; push on brake & door closes?
@@dianebarlow1515 Hansshow is the maker. They make a lot of accessories for Teslas. I don’t know anyone who has installed it, but I know you can get it installed, but where I don’t know. That’s why I suggested that it would be interesting to see someone take a model Y and try to add accessories to make it somewhat equal to a model X then compare the cost differences.
@@amaysaia thank you for responding. After reading your post, I searched and found Hansshow; they have it but not for the MS 😔. My daughter is picking up her new M3 Saturday & Hansshow has it for the M3. Then I found KimJava's post on aftermarket products & it was recommended to her to not do aftermarket updates like auto-frunk because of wiring & the possibility of fire. So....?
I had a Y as a loaner two weeks ago and it was jarring has basic it felt (not like a car should be). 100% agree with being used to a screen straight ahead for speedo etc and looking to the right on the Y was super distracting
I've had so many friends give me grief about my 2nd owner 2018 M3P when I bought it in Dec 2021.. I'm like "You do know there are so many vehicles that cost more than this car, right?" 😂😂 I'd love to upgrade mine to an older MX for the 3 rows. We have a 2021 Atlas 6 seater, but I'd love an EV variant 6 seater as well. Great video!
I have a 2022 model x plaid I got it back last February. We were in service 30-40% of the first 9 months. 2 weeks at a time. Always some weird problem. Trim popping off, doors stopped working, front half shaft replaced 3 times.. luckily it's been like 6 months without having to bring it in. I hope it's all in the past. But we have had to replace the very expensive tires from wear after 25k miles and they said it's normal for the weight and torque of the car. We did ceramic coat the seats, and they stay nice. It's definitely not a value per dollar car. But I do still enjoy driving it and don't know what else I would get. I have a pre order in for the EX90.
Thanks guys! Great video! I'm surprised the seat cooling is not tied to the driver profile. I've had my LRMY for 2 years and I just love it. It's been close to 100F most days here in the New Mexico desert. Being able to cool the car down before I go out to it has been a game changer. There are a dozen other things I really love about the car. When it's not so hot outside, autopilot is my favorite feature. It was a big step up from my 1988 Volvo 240 wagon which I also loved.
Chris, please do a comparison of rear seat positioning between the 7 seat and 5 seat Model Y. I sat in the rear seat of a 7 seat demo while my wife test drove it. I wanted to experience the Full glass roof aspect. I was pleasantly surprised how much room I had. I’m a big guy. It seems like the sliding rear bench give extra room in the aft position and adjustable seat backs.
Very nice video, thanks for all the feedback you two give. Just got my MX and I'm living a dream. Come from ICE and man is it a gamechanger. Hwever living in Spain so no FSD by anymeans or a good charging network for that matter...
I was debating on buying a model X for my wife on her bday . This review has put me into NO side . Let’s see how lucid gravity would be . Model Y is slightly less spacious what we wanted . Kindoff of stuck 😐 . Thanks for honest opinion guys !
Yeah it seems like that ..Also Tesla model 3,Y has no issues of this type . Model X seems to be having consistent issues .. I have heard that from another source ..
Ventilated seats make the extra cost of the X worth it all by themselves. I can’t believe the 3 and Y still don’t have that. If project highland doesn’t add ventilated seats I’m going to cry.
We switched from the 2022 Y to 2023 X and we love it for all the positive AND negative reasons you mentioned. We haven't had any service problems yet and we're hoping this one is problem free. We got beige interior and we're hoping it will keep the interior cool and while it won't get so dirty as a white one. As for tires, I just did a quick check online and my model Y tires cost more than the Model X tires. I do not like that wheels are staggered sizes and you can't do tire rotation, but that's about it. Our kids love the falcon doors because they're young and it's so easy going in and out. I bet when your kids get little older and bigger, you'll want the X back. :P
@@DirtyTeslaYou want the X back? Took delivery of a Tax Edition and end of 2023, so far it’s been great vs. 2019 100D. What does Stephanie think about Y vs X?
16:04 are trailers not a thing in the US? We very regularly rent trailers in Europe for everything, like shopping larger items or going on road trips. :)
@@DirtyTesla what's the reason for that? 🤔 I mean they are super cheap to rent here for a week or two and even buying small trailers is really affordable. Only issue for long trips is that trailers are limited to 100 km/h (after an addition inspection - which is a no brainer) 80 km/h regular ones. So you can't run the regular 180-200 km/h travel speed you normally would if the interstates are free. But this shouldn't be an issue in the US? 🤔
Had to get the 7 seat when you couldn't get a car (early 2022) because I was able to snatch one... it ended up being great for our immediate trip to the Grand Canyon with 5 people My 8YO sat back there.
I am spoiled and would miss the automatic doors. I know what you’re saying about all the service needs, the cost of tires, and the flashiness of those falcon doors. I would trade it in for a Model Y, but we’d have to give up the lifetime free supercharging, and that’s a game changer for road-trips. Congrats on your new Model Y!! Look forward to seeing you in the new car!!
There are plenty, but my biggest gripe (personally) is the large amount of space taken up on the main display in the 3/Y by this info... and you can't get rid of it, so a second display doesn't help there.
Glad you're getting a hardware 4 car, should be a game changer in months to come, having both hardware will be great for videos too, all makes sense, good decision and great video as always Chris!
Makes no sense, I'm sure they lost a ton of money on an early sale. Complains about it being double the cost of a Y yet they purchased it. And they worry about what people think about them? quite insecure. Do they think the Cyber truck won't draw attention? Forget about it. Can't believe this couple will ever be satisfied with anything they purchase in the long term. Love my Model X. You would have to pull my X from my cold dead hands.
I can highly recommend the Satonic mini screen. I love mine. It was easy to install and made a great difference. They don’t make the 4.6” anymore but have 5.5” now. The price is amazing for the quality!
That must've been some nail to destroy the tire completely! I've run over bolts and nails like crazy in my low-pro Honda Civic and they repaired the tire just fine 3 times now...
Yep, we've had several tires repaired as well (at the same discount tire that told us this tire was destroyed). He said it was because of where in the sidewall it punctured/ripped.
Good timing on this video cause I was considering buying a used 2023 X. Guess I'll keep my M3P until the Cybertruck because I have had zero service costs on it for 60k miles.
I did the same thing after owning the X for a month. I loved it, but hated it at the same time. I didn’t need that big of a car, and felt very uncomfortable driving such an expensive car. My Model Y is the perfect car for me. 😎
How are the 3 rows guys, I’ve got a dilema now about getting a 2 or 3 row model Y but my kids are older 14/15 so I don’t think they will fit. What are your thoughts
Auto present drivers door. Seat moves back for easy exit and entry. Tap the brake pedal to get into my driving position. Auto fold mirror before garage entry. Auto open and close garage door.
Loved this video, Chris! Appreciate the pros and cons from you and Stephanie as we were considering replacing our Model Y with a basic Model X and transferring the FSD. The cost would have been the same as what we paid for our Model Y, but would gain all the space. We decided to wait for our Cybertruck, instead. We’re in Central Florida, so we would love to connect with you next time you’re in Florida!
Maybe I missed it, you listed pros and cons, but what was the main reason for getting rid of it? The high payment? The service issues? Or was there not a main reason? Thanks!
Main issue was just the high payment, but many things factored in. Also the fact we'll be getting the CT which will probably be expensive. We could swing an X and Y, but not an X and CT.
The people who 'don't like' the Yoke are the following: - People who have not lived with it long enough to get used it - People who track the car a lot Almost everyone else eventually prefers it over a traditional steering wheel.
Agreed, the only time I’d consider putting my wheel back on is if I’m doing an autocross or something. I prefer the yoke for every other driving situation.
What Steph says goes, Chris! 🤣Fo shizzle, tho... We definitely all have our preferences. Great video, yo! It's those lil things that 'this' vehicle, regardless of make/model, is great and 'that' vehicle, same make/model, isn't. The seat color options... Tesla only offers white and black and they're leather. I personally don't like black leather seats because black attracts heat. I'd rather have black cloth seats than black leather. So the only options are to get the white seats or cloth seat covers.
You guys are doing a service for the next owner, by buying the car new and working out all the problems. Now someone else can get a more affordable payment buying it used. I told the Now You Know guys to sell Sparky (Zac's 2016 Model X) and replace it either with a new X or a Y. Tesla fans do a great service for the used market by constantly buying new cars. A lot of 3's & Y's will get traded in for Cybertruck. Going into a good time for the used market.
My Model X Plaid, other than the stuff to fix when delivered, has been to service once for a bad computer. Though it never stopped driving. I’ve not had any squeaks. It’s been amazing. And no one in LA cares about the FWD’s. They only want to be seen being wowed about anything if it’s a movie star😂
Great review. Going from 2021 Y to 2023 X, picking up on Friday. Super excited and nervous! When I first got Y I had a few service appointments in the first 3-4 months but haven’t had any since. Curious what service frequency will be like on the X. If I hate it after 2 years will probably trade it first a (hopefully) Juniper 2025 Model Y!
I like how easy it would be to get the kids(toddlers) in and out of the X and the suspension, but i can’t justify paying that much more than a Y for those two reasons
They are NOT the same car. It's like saying I can't see why I would pay more for Mercedes S Class than the a cheap Chevy. You get what you pay for. But hey enjoy what you get; but you will hate the ride of the Y compared to the X. They are drastically different in quality and experience.
I love our 7 seat Model Y. My wife wants the X, but you’re right, that payment is just too much considering we don’t know what the Cybertruck would cost.
Thanks for the video. Interesting about the white seats... ive had the same experience! (I think we discussed this briefly on one of your older videos re white seats)
How do you order a Model Y with hardware 4? I didn’t know that you can get it at this time. I held off ordering a Y waiting for HW4 and 4680 batteries.
Are you able to share how much Carvana offered for the LR X? We picked up ours about the same time you did. I'm considering upgrading to a Plaid X and doing the FSD transfer.
Are you absolutely sure your new HW4 Model Y will have the new radar, etc? There are reputable sources (eg. Green the Only) that question the presumption that just because a Tesla has the upgraded HW4 cameras that is also has the options for all other HW4 hardware features. It's frustrating for many recent Tesla buyers.
Hello, considering Tesla strongly. At first it was the Highlander, then the S Plaid, now the X Plaid. Why?n. 86k for plaid?! No extra cost for 6 seater, no extra cost for red, and just the tremendous drop in price for the plaid. It’s still expensive but so much more palatable now, especially for what used to be additional costs are now gone…..enjoying your videos and really hoping for your videos and others to talk me out of the current 86k X Plaid, but I just see to much value there. Help?
Chris “Don’t like drawing attention” also Chris “we’ll be getting a cybertruck”. 😅
lmao I know... it will be crazy at the beginning. Need a dark tint!

I've had so many friends give me grief about my 2nd owner 2018 M3P when I bought it in Dec 2021.. I'm like "You do know there are so many vehicles that cost more than this car, right?" 😂😂
I'd love to upgrade mine to an older MX for the 3 rows. We have a 2021 Atlas 6 seater, but I'd love an EV variant 6 seater as well.
Great video!
Meanwhile they drive a $50,000 Jeep that gets 15 miles per gallon 😂
I have a 2022 model x plaid I got it back last February. We were in service 30-40% of the first 9 months. 2 weeks at a time. Always some weird problem. Trim popping off, doors stopped working, front half shaft replaced 3 times.. luckily it's been like 6 months without having to bring it in. I hope it's all in the past. But we have had to replace the very expensive tires from wear after 25k miles and they said it's normal for the weight and torque of the car. We did ceramic coat the seats, and they stay nice. It's definitely not a value per dollar car. But I do still enjoy driving it and don't know what else I would get. I have a pre order in for the EX90.
Thanks guys! Great video! I'm surprised the seat cooling is not tied to the driver profile.
I've had my LRMY for 2 years and I just love it. It's been close to 100F most days here in the New Mexico desert. Being able to cool the car down before I go out to it has been a game changer. There are a dozen other things I really love about the car. When it's not so hot outside, autopilot is my favorite feature. It was a big step up from my 1988 Volvo 240 wagon which I also loved.
Chris, please do a comparison of rear seat positioning between the 7 seat and 5 seat Model Y. I sat in the rear seat of a 7 seat demo while my wife test drove it. I wanted to experience the Full glass roof aspect. I was pleasantly surprised how much room I had. I’m a big guy. It seems like the sliding rear bench give extra room in the aft position and adjustable seat backs.
Very nice video, thanks for all the feedback you two give. Just got my MX and I'm living a dream. Come from ICE and man is it a gamechanger. Hwever living in Spain so no FSD by anymeans or a good charging network for that matter...
I was debating on buying a model X for my wife on her bday . This review has put me into NO side . Let’s see how lucid gravity would be . Model Y is slightly less spacious what we wanted . Kindoff of stuck 😐 . Thanks for honest opinion guys !
His wife doesn't really seem like she wants to give it up.
Yeah it seems like that ..Also Tesla model 3,Y has no issues of this type . Model X seems to be having consistent issues .. I have heard that from another source ..
Ventilated seats make the extra cost of the X worth it all by themselves. I can’t believe the 3 and Y still don’t have that. If project highland doesn’t add ventilated seats I’m going to cry.
Them (ventilated & heated seats) and air suspension please Highland/Juniper!
TOTALLY AGREE, Suspension and ventilated seats, the STEREO is killer, make it all worth it to me... 😊
@@kendrickpi Air suspension would make me upgrade my MY. Ventilated seats, heated steering wheel would be huge bonuses I would like as well.
Curios how much Carvana gave you. Was this before the crazy price drop? Just got a “Tax Edition” X, so far it’s a massive upgrade from 2019 100D X.
3:35 thx for the clarification Chris. We all thought she was controlling the kids from her phone ;)
We switched from the 2022 Y to 2023 X and we love it for all the positive AND negative reasons you mentioned. We haven't had any service problems yet and we're hoping this one is problem free. We got beige interior and we're hoping it will keep the interior cool and while it won't get so dirty as a white one. As for tires, I just did a quick check online and my model Y tires cost more than the Model X tires. I do not like that wheels are staggered sizes and you can't do tire rotation, but that's about it.
Our kids love the falcon doors because they're young and it's so easy going in and out. I bet when your kids get little older and bigger, you'll want the X back. :P
I already want it back 😂 especially with the new lower price
@@DirtyTeslaYou want the X back? Took delivery of a Tax Edition and end of 2023, so far it’s been great vs. 2019 100D. What does Stephanie think about Y vs X?
16:04 are trailers not a thing in the US? We very regularly rent trailers in Europe for everything, like shopping larger items or going on road trips. :)
You definitely can do that, but yeah it's not very common.
@@DirtyTesla what's the reason for that? 🤔
I mean they are super cheap to rent here for a week or two and even buying small trailers is really affordable.
Only issue for long trips is that trailers are limited to 100 km/h (after an addition inspection - which is a no brainer) 80 km/h regular ones. So you can't run the regular 180-200 km/h travel speed you normally would if the interstates are free.
But this shouldn't be an issue in the US? 🤔
Had to get the 7 seat when you couldn't get a car (early 2022) because I was able to snatch one... it ended up being great for our immediate trip to the Grand Canyon with 5 people My 8YO sat back there.
I am spoiled and would miss the automatic doors. I know what you’re saying about all the service needs, the cost of tires, and the flashiness of those falcon doors. I would trade it in for a Model Y, but we’d have to give up the lifetime free supercharging, and that’s a game changer for road-trips. Congrats on your new Model Y!! Look forward to seeing you in the new car!!
Just more shit to break. You have hands for a reason
Free SuC for life is amazing, I wouldn't want to give that up either.
Yes, do the "Finance part".
I found out that if you use castile soap in warm water clean the white seats with great ease. I do it once a month.
What after market driver’s binnacles are there for the display of essential driver information?
There are plenty, but my biggest gripe (personally) is the large amount of space taken up on the main display in the 3/Y by this info... and you can't get rid of it, so a second display doesn't help there.
Glad you're getting a hardware 4 car, should be a game changer in months to come, having both hardware will be great for videos too, all makes sense, good decision and great video as always Chris!
Makes no sense, I'm sure they lost a ton of money on an early sale. Complains about it being double the cost of a Y yet they purchased it. And they worry about what people think about them? quite insecure. Do they think the Cyber truck won't draw attention? Forget about it. Can't believe this couple will ever be satisfied with anything they purchase in the long term.
Love my Model X. You would have to pull my X from my cold dead hands.
Calm down, let people live their own lives Debbie downer
Even when im washing my x i don't feel well open the falcon door.
I can highly recommend the Satonic mini screen. I love mine. It was easy to install and made a great difference. They don’t make the 4.6” anymore but have 5.5” now. The price is amazing for the quality!
Back in April I had 780 miles on my 2023 M3P and ran over a Stanley Knife Blade in the road with my back driver tire and it was a $500 20” Pirelli.
So…, what kind of cooler is that? Did you do research/review on electric coolers.
Which cooler/frdge is that, shown when talking about the space in the X? And would you recommend it?
The one in the video is discontinued, but this is a good option I recently reviewed th-cam.com/video/HNmPuHM42_o/w-d-xo.html
That must've been some nail to destroy the tire completely! I've run over bolts and nails like crazy in my low-pro Honda Civic and they repaired the tire just fine 3 times now...
Yep, we've had several tires repaired as well (at the same discount tire that told us this tire was destroyed). He said it was because of where in the sidewall it punctured/ripped.
Nice review. Had to kinda laugh when I heard that they didn't like the car drawing too much attention, and getting a Cybertruck now.
😂 I know
Great video. Thanks! Just an FYI on Model Y tires, i had the same issue, nail and replace both rear (other one only had 7k miles) was $900 😮😢
Stop buying tires from Tesla, they are way overpriced. Go order online and bring to a local fire shop yourself
Excellent...honest evaluation. Loaded for anyone considering the X. Thanks to you two. Stephanie is special... you're a lucky guy! SoCalFreddy
I’ve always wondered about those falcon wing doors. No extra issues?
No, they worked perfectly 100% of the time besides the squeaking.
You guys are such humble people, especially Stephanie! Love this video and channel
What about post price reduction? Worth it or nah?
Y is the BEST family car ! You will LOVE it !
Would you buy the model X again after the price drop if you could take advantage of the tax credit? Seems like good value at 70k.
Definitely... Prices make way more sense now compared with the Y.
Good timing on this video cause I was considering buying a used 2023 X. Guess I'll keep my M3P until the Cybertruck because I have had zero service costs on it for 60k miles.
I mean if you make $500k a year get that X! :P
I did the same thing after owning the X for a month. I loved it, but hated it at the same time. I didn’t need that big of a car, and felt very uncomfortable driving such an expensive car. My Model Y is the perfect car for me. 😎
I have 2022 MX 7 seat version. Can attest to being able to fit full grown men in the 3rd row. Way more spacious than people think.
How are the 3 rows guys, I’ve got a dilema now about getting a 2 or 3 row model Y but my kids are older 14/15 so I don’t think they will fit. What are your thoughts
Auto present drivers door. Seat moves back for easy exit and entry. Tap the brake pedal to get into my driving position. Auto fold mirror before garage entry. Auto open and close garage door.
Loved this video, Chris! Appreciate the pros and cons from you and Stephanie as we were considering replacing our Model Y with a basic Model X and transferring the FSD. The cost would have been the same as what we paid for our Model Y, but would gain all the space.
We decided to wait for our Cybertruck, instead. We’re in Central Florida, so we would love to connect with you next time you’re in Florida!
12:30 i couldn't hear the Squeaking...just air..
Maybe I missed it, you listed pros and cons, but what was the main reason for getting rid of it? The high payment? The service issues? Or was there not a main reason? Thanks!
Main issue was just the high payment, but many things factored in. Also the fact we'll be getting the CT which will probably be expensive. We could swing an X and Y, but not an X and CT.
The people who 'don't like' the Yoke are the following:
- People who have not lived with it long enough to get used it
- People who track the car a lot
Almost everyone else eventually prefers it over a traditional steering wheel.
Agreed, the only time I’d consider putting my wheel back on is if I’m doing an autocross or something. I prefer the yoke for every other driving situation.
What Steph says goes, Chris! 🤣Fo shizzle, tho...
We definitely all have our preferences. Great video, yo!
It's those lil things that 'this' vehicle, regardless of make/model, is great and 'that' vehicle, same make/model, isn't.
The seat color options... Tesla only offers white and black and they're leather. I personally don't like black leather seats because black attracts heat. I'd rather have black cloth seats than black leather. So the only options are to get the white seats or cloth seat covers.
Thanks for the detailed post!
You guys are doing a service for the next owner, by buying the car new and working out all the problems. Now someone else can get a more affordable payment buying it used. I told the Now You Know guys to sell Sparky (Zac's 2016 Model X) and replace it either with a new X or a Y. Tesla fans do a great service for the used market by constantly buying new cars. A lot of 3's & Y's will get traded in for Cybertruck. Going into a good time for the used market.
My Model X Plaid, other than the stuff to fix when delivered, has been to service once for a bad computer. Though it never stopped driving. I’ve not had any squeaks. It’s been amazing. And no one in LA cares about the FWD’s. They only want to be seen being wowed about anything if it’s a movie star😂
9:44 Good news you can lock the buttons
Great review. Going from 2021 Y to 2023 X, picking up on Friday. Super excited and nervous! When I first got Y I had a few service appointments in the first 3-4 months but haven’t had any since. Curious what service frequency will be like on the X. If I hate it after 2 years will probably trade it first a (hopefully) Juniper 2025 Model Y!
You'll love it, congrats on the massive upgrade
I like how easy it would be to get the kids(toddlers) in and out of the X and the suspension, but i can’t justify paying that much more than a Y for those two reasons
They are NOT the same car. It's like saying I can't see why I would pay more for Mercedes S Class than the a cheap Chevy. You get what you pay for. But hey enjoy what you get; but you will hate the ride of the Y compared to the X. They are drastically different in quality and experience.
I love our 7 seat Model Y. My wife wants the X, but you’re right, that payment is just too much considering we don’t know what the Cybertruck would cost.
Thanks for the video. Interesting about the white seats... ive had the same experience! (I think we discussed this briefly on one of your older videos re white seats)
How do you order a Model Y with hardware 4? I didn’t know that you can get it at this time. I held off ordering a Y waiting for HW4 and 4680 batteries.
They pretty much all have hw4 now
Are you able to share how much Carvana offered for the LR X? We picked up ours about the same time you did. I'm considering upgrading to a Plaid X and doing the FSD transfer.
Chris, didn't you do the 100% write-off for the Model X? If so, wasn't that a 5-year depreciation?
Yeah it'll get adjusted at tax time, so basically the positive of the X will be income while the negative of the Y will be an expense.
Very sweet video, I think the blue Y might be the best looking car they make!
Are you absolutely sure your new HW4 Model Y will have the new radar, etc? There are reputable sources (eg. Green the Only) that question the presumption that just because a Tesla has the upgraded HW4 cameras that is also has the options for all other HW4 hardware features. It's frustrating for many recent Tesla buyers.
For a car thats nearly the same size as the Y and not much different to me, double the price is crazy
You should look at them. The X is significantly bigger in all respects. Especially in 3rd row seat and cargo space.
@@RealElectechI've owned the Y and have driven the X multiple times. Sizing isn't vastly different
My sister loves her 7 seater Model Y!
Stands to reason Tesla may one day add the automatic doors and perhaps a driver display as premium options. Would add a ton of value to the Y.
They went bonkers making all doors motorized on the X, but their priority now is to simplify production. Adding automatic doors goes against that.
Hello, considering Tesla strongly. At first it was the Highlander, then the S Plaid, now the X Plaid. Why?n. 86k for plaid?! No extra cost for 6 seater, no extra cost for red, and just the tremendous drop in price for the plaid. It’s still expensive but so much more palatable now, especially for what used to be additional costs are now gone…..enjoying your videos and really hoping for your videos and others to talk me out of the current 86k X Plaid, but I just see to much value there. Help?
