Many have asked about the measurements for the trunk in Model X versus Model Y. I did the length and width in the video but didn’t do the height. The height is almost identical at 27”! If you want to see the measurements, check my twitter feed. 👍
Buy a big bag of plastic balls that are used for children's play pits. Count the number that fit in frunks and trunks of X & Y. That will give you volume percentages.
@Marco Deo I did mention that it is "big" and "heavy" (it won't out turn a Miata in the tightest twists), but it is probably the best vehicle I can think of at that size of interior space and cargo room. It drives a lot better than one would expect, but don't expect a magic carpet ride; just a magical aspect of design and engineering for the weight and dimensions that it has to work with. If you want to go on a 90+ mph canyon twist, there are much smaller and lighter cars for that type of task; it shouldn't be any 7 seat vehicle.
@Comeonuseyourbrain the X is NOT a drivers car. And neither is the S. Driving those feels more like driving a landboat and cant be compared at all to i.e. a 3 or 5 series.
For me I’m planning to get an model y just for now then when I date a girl and she want to start a family with me then I will consider get the model x but plaid version and every option you can get
Love my 2020 Model X. It has the new, super comfy seats, free super charging for life, love the look of the "built-in" screen and no issues with rubbing of the Falcon Wing doors. Perhaps they've fixed that since 2017. I also love the air suspension on the X and being able to adjust it up or down with a touch on the screen. My favorite body style is the Model 3. Great video, though. Loved seeing a comparison. Thank you.
Same, got one from inventory with free supercharging. That said, had an S for three years with unlimited and it's really not that big a deal to pay for it on the rare occasions most will use it. No bad choices in the tesla lineup!
What's Inside? Thanks Dan, Yea that makes total sense. That’s a great point I should have mentioned in the video. The 6 or 7 seater X is going to be quite a bit bigger than the Model Y 7 seater because it’s longer. I’ll pin this comment, thanks for mentioning that.
@@Euain I have a model s and the bio defense is just a second hepa filter. The first one will get 95% of pollutants and the 2nd 4.9% more. Your car will also use max fan to force air out of cabin.
I've heard from several people who own both the X and Y, and they seem to always bring up a lot of issues with the X. The X might be a more "premium" car, but the Y seems to give you a much more pleasant ownership experience.
I'm currently driving my second Model S (got my first one in 2013). I definitely want a higher seating position. I would have bought a Model X, but opted for the S again because the X is too big (I live in Switzerland, very narrow streets and parking spots here). I'm more and more convinced that my next car will be a Model Y. Thank you for your video!
If you do not need the seating space get a Y. My husband just traded in his 3 (which was amazing) for a Y. The seating in the back of the Y is slightly bigger than the 3, I did not like how small the 3 was but it wasn’t our family vehicle. We will need an X because we need the seating, we have 4 kids, yes they just released a 7 seat Model Y but then you lose all trunk space and getting to the back will present a lot of issues and we do not need 2 Y’s! We LOVE the Y!
Appreciated your comments. I’ve got a Model x with 3.0 software. Tight fit in the garage, which is a pain every day. Can’t get past its drive and performance, tho. I like the falcon wings, tho not essential. Still enjoy my short commute every day, hope to keep this for a decade. Nice review.
A HUGE THANK YOU, for making this video. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. You have the keen ability to denote what’s actually important to showcase, plus you add just the right amount of narrative to accentuate a particular detail. BRAVO!
It is great to see all of the solar panels on all of the roofs again The neighborhood you did the filming. My neighborhood has changed a little bit over the last few years and we're getting many more people going solar.
Our 2017 X is awesome. The doors don't rub. However the critique of door operation annoyances is spot on. The one thing keeping us in our X is the 6-seat configuration and the Y's lack of air suspension. If the Y got both of those, we'd order one right away.
Thank you for the great comparison! I have a Model X 2016 and my husband has a model 3 2019. My X is sooo comfortable and the ride is so smooth compared to the model 3. The drawbacks are I do not get Netflix and my range is only 200mi, which sucks on road trips! I do however, love my biohazard filter, which is not on the 3. And I transport many children so having seven seats in the X is critical for me. I look forward to trying the Model Y one day though....I love Tesla and can’t imagine owning any other car but one of Elon’s models because going to a gas station is crazy to me.... thanks again for your comparison it was help others choose what works best for them.
How are the falcon doors for you? Do you think they are dangerous at all? I watched another review on them not opening up all the way sometimes and it kinda dropping on them. Thats the only drawback on me getting the X!
I think your right about the eating the Y sells of the X. I think they will redesign the X as a full size suv after the cybertruck comes out. Imagine a 7 seater with 500 miles of range.
@@Eclipse3581 It costs several billion dollars to redesign a car, update the factories etc. Model S and Model X are not going to be changed at this point. However they could eventually be replaced by new models after some years. That said, Model 3 and Model Y will cover the needs of 95% of people, so there really isn't a need to add more models aside from Cybertruck, Semi, etc., which are totally different vehicle types.
i remember musk said it, he does not care S or X. His future is 3 and Y. This is aligned with his vision into the future, and I am glad he is not lost in his pursuit.
I rented a model X for the weekend and my favorite features were the driver focused panoramic windshield, free supercharging, speedometer display + vertical screen, adjustable ride height air suspension, falcon doors, usable third row, and fully motorized doors that open with the key fob or as you approach. The Y just doesn’t feel special after experiencing all that. Seems like it’s the better buy tho like you said, whereas an X seems like a better lease. I hope they don’t stop producing the X tho, it‘s such a unique ride. Hopefully rich people still keep buying it in a enough volume to continue production
Free super charging is not going to be a thing anymore with those models according to Elon musk. You can only get free supercharging for a year with cars that are in the inventory now i think. If you buy before Q3. After that I don’t think its gonna be free anymore.
It's very interesting because it really shows how Tesla has thought about these 2 cars and how they can make it so that the Y won't necessarily eat into the sales of the X. Just with the little things you mentioned like the sunroof. It would be personal taste at that point.. which do you love more? The falcon wing doors or the sunroof? Both are really good selling points of the cars. The Y is really just a bigger version of the 3 much like the X is a bigger version of the S. A more apt comparison for the Model Y is the model 3 because it's that Model's potential customers that the Y is going to be hi-jacking. lol
Good analysis. However the X is wider so when you put kids in the car and go on a road trip, they have more room ( 5 seater). So in my opinion, the X wins
Great video Marc, well balanced and factual. I own a Model X and couldn’t be happier. I have not had any issues with the rubbing by the Falcon doors so far, had the car for 16 months now. The only issue is that tyre wear is about half of what other SUV’s will give. This is because they use 220 PLY tyres I’m told, also I hear the car applies a negative camber especially if using the Low suspension setting. However the tyre cost is offset by the fact that due to the regenerative braking, there should never be a need to replace the brake pads during the life of the car. I love the Tesla brand, on the list for the Cyber truck! Keep the videos coming Marc, awesome job!
I like the X because I think having the small Instrument panel in front of you makes it feel I am driving a car. The Y dash is plan kinda makes me feel like I am setting in a space craft, plus all that glass.
I own a Y and took it to Highway One Timber Cove over the weekend to get away from the East Bay heat (+100°!!!). What a fantastic road machine! All the curves, views, deceleration, acceleration, an incredible experience that totally took away my blues! Loving the view looking up! Just installed a removable sunshade to block intense sun, big improvement but miss that view! Need to glue in clips, too easily lost!
Thought Elon said they will keep manufacturing Model S and X most for sentimental reasons. Add a 100KwH battery option and air suspension option for 3 and Y and there are not many reasons for buying S and X anymore
Model S is still awesome coz you get much more trunk space and it definetly feels wider inside. And I like the verticla screen too - u can scroll music and see the nav at the same time.
Really like the way you explained the issues with the door on model x and comparison of the seating positions and the sun roof. These are the things you wouldn’t know straight off just by viewing once , unless you use it in real life.
I’ve just ordered the Model Y and waiting for the release date here in Norway. I currently have the Model 3 but wanted a bigger car. I’ve also considered buying a used Model X instead which sometimes has made me second guess my choice of buying the Y but this video really put things in perspective and was very helpful. Thanks!
I have two fixes for both the falcon wing door problems. one, close the button from the back where the button is so u don’t have to dodge it, and 2, wait till u get out to open the door using the button on the outside. Unless u mean the kid is closing and opening the door
The Gull Wing doors don't open if you flip, allow rain/snow/dust in and heat and cold out way more than regular doors and don't rub. The Y has a trunk in the back and the seats fold to allow for hauling larger/more.
Thank you so much. Ironically I test drove the model Y today and love it. I think the model X is more of a younger generation style, with the falcon doors And I don’t think it’s worth the difference in price.. The comparison you Give make it much easier for me now to choose the model Y thank you thank you
Me personally , even with a lot people talking about the potential demise of the Model X after the Model Y comparisons, I have a soft spot for the X and those doors, it’s till one of the coolest vehicles on the road when the doors work, you know they get a lot of attention when seen in action in public. I’m sure seeing the cars when they are closed people think it just another SUV and are probably shocked when they see them open lol. If you can remember way back when the Y was just talked about in Elon’s mind he wanted he wanted it to have the falcon wing doors like the X, but he was talked out of it. I for one hope that Tesla doesn’t make the S and X history and go on to redesign both, preferably with the design of the Cybertruck and more luxurious interiors. Tesla wound be crazy not to have vehicles in the luxury class, they need to have vehicles in that segment.
Dude!!! 1M views, you should have at least 750k likes. This is the video I've been looking for. Definitely helped with my decision. Love how you go in depth, measurements and all for cargo. Real life annoyances for the X doors. Model Y for me. Now I just need to determine model 3 vs S. Then model Y vs the winner.
Thanks for showing both models, I was pretty confused but now I can definitely tell my hubby I want the Y mainly because of similarities with big price difference.
I love the dash on the X which helps you not have to look away from looking ahead , ... I think they should have put them in all models. But $30,000 more... probably not. Thanks for this great video comparing the X and Y 👍👍
I had a chance today to look at the Model Y at one of the hospitals here in Longview, TX today and it is amazing! It was white with white interior, not my favorite choice, but gorgeous, in any case. For the price, I would definitely go with this model over the expensive Model X, but that’s just me. Have a nice day!
Thanks for doing this review. We test drive a model Y today and I agree with everything that you said. The Model X looks better style wise but if cost is a factor, people should consider model y. Your review is very helpful, great job
Love the review my man. In case you didnt know you can put child safety locks on the x when you go into settings. So you can get out your car first and wont risk the falcon doors hitting you lol. Thanks for the review bro, keep up the good work🤙
You did an amazing job with this video great video very detailed thank you for giving us exactly what we were thinking we wanted to see. This will surely help people on the fence cause even I wanted to see a great detailed comparison. So thank you and great great job!
Nice video. We have an X now and the lease is up in May 2021. Not too impressed with the 3 because it is too small. Will definitely look a Y when lease ends.
We have a Model 3 and are torn between adding a Y or X both with 3rd row seating. What I real like with the X is the captain seats in the 2nd row and the aisle I can use to get to the 3rd row. We’ve had mini vans that have the aisle and to me it’s very convenient. Although I’m always driving I could care less but I notice I use the aisle rather than move the 2nd row seats forward to get to the 3rd row. Something I have to think about before making a decision
Seems like we're paying 20k for those dang falcon doors. I'm considering this Model Y. Improve the interior and it'll be an easier choice for some of us.
You can achieve the same in a couple years, not kidding, start out by reading some books about money and wealth so that you start understanding how money actually works ("Rich dad poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill etc.) then when you read those books and you understood them you need to work on your mindset, you need to learn how to "get shit done", this is the trickiest part, cus even reading a book is easy to do, BUT EVEN EASIER NOT TO DO, that's where your mindset comes into play. Don't focus on wanting money tomorrow, that's not happening, focus on having money next year, 2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now. You're going to be here 10 years from now, and you'd much better be wealthy than ending up thinking "oh, i should've listened to that guy on TH-cam 10 years ago". A great book for this is "Psycho-cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz. When you know the basics of money and are mentally ready you need new knowledge, you need knowledge to start a business, online businesses like affiliate marketing, self publishing, dropshipping, consulting, SMMA, done-for-you services etc. require very small initial investments (like 2000 bucks is way more than enough, if you have more then you're going to see progress much more quickly, but don't use this as an excuse not to get started) and you can find great courses that teach you about these businesses (the guys in the ads who you probably think are scammers, some of them are tho, so only trust guys who prove you they know what they're talking about), just don't be cheap. These businesses are very very scalable (because online you don't have to pay rent for any location, you don't need employees, you basically have no costs except for a few tools and eventually ads depending on what business you start with, because being on the internet you have access to a huge amount of clients, so what you have to do is basically keep putting the money you make back into the business so that you keep making more and more and more (sounds easier than it is tho). Stop listening to other people, only listen to successful people, "other people" haven't done, are not doing and will never do anything with their lives, always been like that since the dawn of time and will always be like that, so why would you take advice from these people? Would you take nutrition and exercise advice from your skinny-fat friend or from a muscular and ripped guy? Remember one thing: success is the result of failing many times, more times than most people are willing to fail, if you fail all you have to do is try again, you only have to succeed once, doesn't matter how many failures you've gone through, the successful try is the only one that matters, if you never try or stop trying you will never succeed, and thus you have failed forever. Seriously man, go on Amazon and order those 3 books, no excuses, you definitely have like 40$ to spend on life changing books, 2 years from now, 5 years from now you'll thank me, just keep in mind there's no trick, it's a slow process, but doesn't take forever, sacrificing 2 years or so of your life to make the rest of it GREAT is totally worth it imo. The earlier you get started, the earlier you'll get there, as easy as that. You decide who you will be in the future, who you are today and the life you have is the result of the decisions and actions you took in the past, always be this brutal to yourself.
I’ve got a handicapped child and to get her in and out of the car the X is fabulous. I couldn’t wait for the next X and it’s twice the price of the Y, so I tried the Y and it was also pretty good for my daughter so 2 weeks later, everyone’s happy. These cars are great. Great video and your thought process at the end is perfect.
We have 2019 model x 5 seater and 2018 model 3. Waiting on our model y. I didn’t notice right away, but due to the falcon wing doors on the x, there is very limited storage in the back seats. No door pockets, no coat/ dry cleaning hooks, and no seat back pockets even. No center armrest in the back. If you have kids, you need all the storage you can get.
This has been an insanely helpful video. I can't even tell you how much I've been going back and forth between an X and a Y. The X new is just too damned much to feel good about, so was gonna do an X used, this comparison is EXACTLY what I needed.
Great comparison, many thanks. We have owned our Model X for just coming up to 4 years and it's a great car, no question. No regrets whatsoever in choosing it. We also have a Model 3 now, which is great too, but obviously quite a bit different. We have just ordered a Model Y to replace our X early next year. I think unless you really need a 6 or 7 seater, then the Y makes a lot more sense and with the latest UI it feels like a newer generation than the older X. I guess that the newly updated X interior addresses that particular issue, but the price difference is just too big for us to justify. Had the Y been available 4 years ago we would definitely have chosen it over the X on cost alone, but back then the choice was actually Model X vs Model S and we wanted the extra rear cargo space of the X. It's good to know that the Y has almost the same cargo space. It's actually closer than I thought it would be, which is great!
Thank you for making the video. We are really going back and forth between both X & Y. "X " was the one I really wanted first but the more I learn about Y, the more I question it. Falcon wing doors super cool, maybe silly, but I love them. But, not sure if they are worth the price tag. Plus WOW, isn't the X pricey , but the dash is nicer and heated everything if you want in the X. I live in a cold climate ... Maybe a used X ... Hum? Still tough, but thanks .
I think the Y will eat more into the sales of the 3 than the X. After all, the Y is just a tad bit larger than the 3. The price point is also alot closer to the 3 than to the X so that'll also be something to think about when choosing between the different models.
Great Video Marc. I cannot agree with you on the cannibalization. Having a family of 6, the Model X 6 passenger far exceeds the Model Y 7 passenger for livable layout and space for a family of our size. We simply could not fit into a Model Y 7 passenger. There are also styling differences, performance differences, towing differences, and interior preferences that make the Model X a compelling choice. That being said, comparing 5 passenger models like you have, I can see some 5 passenger Model X buyers moving to the Model Y 5 Passenger. I believe a price adjustment on the Model X will be more likely through better battery tech than the elimination of the vehicle all together. Time will tell.
Great review! I own the X and the front windshield is worth it for a guy that is 6' 5". We have 4 kids and the 6 seat configuration offers better 3rd row space for my tall kids. The automatic doors on the front are underrated in my opinion. The two screens let's you dedicate driving needs in front of you and opens up more space on the center screen. The other plus is the adjustable air suspension that offers a lot of comfort and an option to raise the car a few inches for snow. The audio system is second to none in my opinion as well. These feature are what keeps me interested in the X, but the Y is a fantastic version of the X in a slightly smaller package.
Interesting I don’t see anyone talking about the seating in the comments or addressed in the video. To me the main difference is capacity - the model Y 3rd row I wouldn’t even consider useable. For people who need that third row with 3 kids or taking around more people - model X is far superior. Also very car seat friendly with the falcon doors. You can stand straight up buckling them in.
Great review! However, I doubt the X is going away anytime soon. I have one, and I doubt most people care about the rubbing issue that much. Yes, the Y will outsell it by a ton, but the people with lots of $ will still want a higher-end car to prove they are not one of the commoners with a lowly Y. LOL. BTW, I'll be replacing my X with a Y too because it's cheaper as well...which makes me a commoner haha. Tesla has so few offerings as it is, they need to wait till the CyberTruck is out at a minimum before dropping the X...but I doubt they will even then, especially if they do an S/X interior refresh along with Plaid Mode later this year.
Awesome Video Marc. You made it easier to Confirm Im making the right choice. I love my 75D MS, but I knew It would be replaced. We thought about getting an X but Im glad that for the money we are definately making the right choice. I cant wait to get my Model Y buddy🤙🏽
Thanks for the video. I just ordered my Model Y this past wk. have to wait till July 22 to get it. I do like the Model X thou. Maybe I’ll trade my Y in after a few year for the X. All about looks. They both look damn near close. The Interior the X has the Y beat.
Yeah... I need a 7 seater Cybertruck... he's talked about having the "vault" be accessible from back seat, and HVAC back there as a result... maybe could screw a seat or two with a 5 point harness back there? if u can get through the 30x hardened cold rolled steel? I don't know... guess we'll have to find out ;-)
Thank you for the side by side comparison. Many people have pointed out that the rear hatch on the model Y extends into what you could consider to be the the bumper area, but I didn't see it clearly until I saw your video. At 17:25 on your video, you see the difference between the models very clearly. I hope that Tesla can change the rear hatch of the model Y, so that it doesn't extend so low. A minor bump to the rear door would cause a very large repair bill.
Thanks for the comparison and your perspective! I think there are two good reasons to purchase an X despite the comments made in favor of the Y (which I agree with for the most part, actually): 1) Range - if you take frequent road trips, which our family does, the range of the Long Range X is important. 2) Towing Capacity - we have a heavy boat and the Y can't tow it. Also, a potential #3, but it's too early to say, is the 7 seat configuration. The X with the 7 seat configuration is comfortable for children and even passable for adults and still yields large storage space. It's not clear if the Y with 7 seats will have as much storage or will have as comfortable a 3rd row. Until the Y with the 7 seat configuration is out, we can't know if this difference will be significant or not. In general, I agree that the other differences are small enough to really consider a Y instead of an X and save the price difference. If you have anything over 3,500 lbs to tow or if you take frequent road trips and want to reduce the frequency of super charging on those road trips, the X may still be the better option.
Thanks Marc, this is the first good detailed video I've seen comparing the two. My wife and I are going to be deciding between the two soon, I look forward to seeing the Y in person to get in the back. With two kids in child seats, we're leaning heavily towards the X for the 6 seater option. The rear bucket seats are great for keeping some sanity in the back seat and gives us flexibility when riding with additional family. I don't have much confidence at this time in the space of the future 3rd row in the Y. Aside from that, I'd choose the Y too, especially for the cost which is why we remain torn. I'm hoping for a X refresh announcement that would more differentiate the two AND justify the cost difference. Anyway, great vid
Had an X with a third row seat. Never used it once. Hard to access. Waste of $6K in my opinion. You can put both kids in row two. My Blue Raven has five seats. Plenty. World Record SUV fast as well. Did 1/4 mile in 11.2 at PBIR. I think I would also take the Y for the price difference and I'm on my second X, one S, one 3.
This side-by-side comparison is very helpful. Actual measurements is valuable, while styling is a matter of personal taste. One detail that's important to us (because we travel with older dogs who need to jump into the car) s the height of the hatch sill above the ground. Thanks for adding this dimension. I applaud your great camera work, sir. Very nicely done.
Thanks, Marc. This is so helpful. I went to see the Teslas today and was told that the Model X was a few months wait plus they didn't have one I could drive. I did drive a model Y and am considering it over the X after watching your video.
Thank you for the comparison video. It was very helpful. ! I’ve debated this very issue. I have been leaning towards the model Y and you’ve confirmed my thoughts!
Many have asked about the measurements for the trunk in Model X versus Model Y. I did the length and width in the video but didn’t do the height.
The height is almost identical at 27”! If you want to see the measurements, check my twitter feed. 👍
That's because he sucks at reviewing and describing cars. He needs to focus on his kids and family bc that whole video was awful
@@silvabullet13 Oh hush, it was a great video, really opened my eyes about the doors. Stop being a hater.
Buy a big bag of plastic balls that are used for children's play pits. Count the number that fit in frunks and trunks of X & Y. That will give you volume percentages.
This made it MUCH hard to justify getting an X or a used S.
Question about range of both vehicles
Model X is the one you want, Model Y is the one you can afford
I have drivin the model x and i think it has just too much bodyroll.. so i would rather have the model y than the model x
@@ame4195 Drive the P100D. Changing the wheels and tires make a big difference. It blew my mind how something so big and so heavy can feel so sporty.
Period
Nah. I can afford both. X just ain’t worth the money given how close the Y compares to the X.
@Marco Deo I did mention that it is "big" and "heavy" (it won't out turn a Miata in the tightest twists), but it is probably the best vehicle I can think of at that size of interior space and cargo room. It drives a lot better than one would expect, but don't expect a magic carpet ride; just a magical aspect of design and engineering for the weight and dimensions that it has to work with. If you want to go on a 90+ mph canyon twist, there are much smaller and lighter cars for that type of task; it shouldn't be any 7 seat vehicle.
Summary: They are almost exactly the same, but the falcon wing doors are cool.... You're welcome.
no??
@@Ksubsbefore-qu3iv but kind of yes...
sanctred but kind of no...
They are not the same ... they ARE about the same size though. Model X is a nicer vehicle overall, no doubt.
Marc Benton The more expensive car is nicer? What a shocker
this is the most honest review of x and y in youtube as an owner!
Thank you! 🙏
I agree, very honest and clear review !
Model X looks better from the front. Model Y looks better from the back.
very very true
I prefer the more minimalist look of the Y, the front of the X looks dated to me.
I disagree x looks
Like a bug
Well you can always put a sticker or paint the front of model X so it would look like a model Y :D
@@ctuna2011
Y looks like a frog to me lol
I agree with you, the price point of the model Y is better for most people and will be very popular.
I have ordered my Model Y and can't wait to get it soon! Model X is out of my price range but I think I only wanted it because of the wing doors 😜
I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some
fantastic deals in Tesla Accessories on our eBay listing.
For the international people around, 4:18 that gives:
X Y

Rear Bottom 105,41 101,60
Rear Top 105,41 108,59
Thank u, that was helpful
Thank you
Finally some good comparison video. 25 min of this video were worth more than 25 videos I watched on this topic before.
I prefer the Model X. But it’s not worth paying the extra money when the Model Y is so similar.
@Comeonuseyourbrain Model Y is a drivers car. Model X is a passengers car.
I want the x but i would feel stupid not getting a Y performance for so much cheaper
Adjustable suspension and towing that's what makes the big difference.
@Comeonuseyourbrain the X is NOT a drivers car. And neither is the S. Driving those feels more like driving a landboat and cant be compared at all to i.e. a 3 or 5 series.
@Ayush Malpeddi i just want the useless falcon wing doors😂
I think that some people want the X (in spite of cost) as it symbolizes ELITE and differentiates itself from the other models.
For me I’m planning to get an model y just for now then when I date a girl and she want to start a family with me then I will consider get the model x but plaid version and every option you can get

Love my 2020 Model X. It has the new, super comfy seats, free super charging for life, love the look of the "built-in" screen and no issues with rubbing of the Falcon Wing doors. Perhaps they've fixed that since 2017. I also love the air suspension on the X and being able to adjust it up or down with a touch on the screen. My favorite body style is the Model 3. Great video, though. Loved seeing a comparison. Thank you.
Sheril Bender they don’t offer free super charging for life anymore. So not really a selling point anymore.
Thank you for validating my thoughts as well. I just purchased the X and can't wait for delivery.
@@JonEpicLepic I pick up my new 2020 Model X Saturday, and it includes Free Supercharging. They have brought it back for existing inventory.
Same, got one from inventory with free supercharging. That said, had an S for three years with unlimited and it's really not that big a deal to pay for it on the rare occasions most will use it. No bad choices in the tesla lineup!
tommygirl20247 I leased mine through a business. Went with LR+ with the 22 wheels.
Good video. Only thing keeping me with the X is the number of people in our family. I need the bucket seats.
What's Inside? Thanks Dan, Yea that makes total sense. That’s a great point I should have mentioned in the video. The 6 or 7 seater X is going to be quite a bit bigger than the Model Y 7 seater because it’s longer. I’ll pin this comment, thanks for mentioning that.
Model X has bio-defense for the model why doesn't. Is this a feature any of you to use on the regular?
Definately a good point. For the money new, its a 30k dif, Used X might just be the toss up between a new Y or used X if you need a bit more room.
@@Euain I have a model s and the bio defense is just a second hepa filter. The first one will get 95% of pollutants and the 2nd 4.9% more. Your car will also use max fan to force air out of cabin.
Marc,dan isnt free supercharging a big deal in comparison X vs Y. X users are also getting free supercharging for life with 30k price difference
Thanks for Taking the time to do this, Marc, good stuff - appreciate the perspective on both! Looks like you put a lot of work into this, so ty again!
really down-to-earth comparison. You convinced me to look at the Y before going automatically going to the X.
You should go on Model X!
great personal review with strait reasons.
agree - model X is "death"
bevor the Cyber comes out
I've heard from several people who own both the X and Y, and they seem to always bring up a lot of issues with the X. The X might be a more "premium" car, but the Y seems to give you a much more pleasant ownership experience.
Excellent review. I really enjoyed it. A lot of other reviewers do not actually focus on these type of details.
Marc, as a former MX owner thinking about a Model Y (saw and sat in the first one today), this video was VERY helpful. Thanks for all the details!
I'm currently driving my second Model S (got my first one in 2013). I definitely want a higher seating position. I would have bought a Model X, but opted for the S again because the X is too big (I live in Switzerland, very narrow streets and parking spots here). I'm more and more convinced that my next car will be a Model Y. Thank you for your video!

Hallo :) wie viel zahlst du effektiv um es zu laden?
Model is X is soooo cool, but you're making me want a model Y.
www.tflcar.com/2019/06/tesla-model-3-repair-story/ watch this and you may want a normal car that uses gas......
ML C might who cares insurance companies screw us monthly anyways. Might as well get your moneys worth.
Get the y,at least at first.
It's cheaper and you get the Tesla experience
Consider the X an upgrade that you should decide later on
Thank you so much, was really struggling to find a good comparison...you saved me $30,000!
Great review! We really appreciate the honesty. We’ve been debating between the X and the Y for such a long time. Very helpful!
If you do not need the seating space get a Y. My husband just traded in his 3 (which was amazing) for a Y. The seating in the back of the Y is slightly bigger than the 3, I did not like how small the 3 was but it wasn’t our family vehicle. We will need an X because we need the seating, we have 4 kids, yes they just released a 7 seat Model Y but then you lose all trunk space and getting to the back will present a lot of issues and we do not need 2 Y’s! We LOVE the Y!

So they made the X like the S
And the Y like the 3
So now it's Bigger Stronger model S vs Bigger Stronger model 3
ACDC 😉
Appreciated your comments. I’ve got a Model x with 3.0 software. Tight fit in the garage, which is a pain every day. Can’t get past its drive and performance, tho. I like the falcon wings, tho not essential. Still enjoy my short commute every day, hope to keep this for a decade. Nice review.

A HUGE THANK YOU, for making this video.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
You have the keen ability to denote what’s actually important to showcase, plus you add just the right amount of narrative to accentuate a particular detail. BRAVO!
Thanks for watching!
The way you were able to articulate that was lowkey inspiring. i need to broaden my vocab 😂
It is great to see all of the solar panels on all of the roofs again The neighborhood you did the filming. My neighborhood has changed a little bit over the last few years and we're getting many more people going solar.
Our 2017 X is awesome. The doors don't rub.
However the critique of door operation annoyances is spot on. The one thing keeping us in our X is the 6-seat configuration and the Y's lack of air suspension. If the Y got both of those, we'd order one right away.
Thank you for the great comparison! I have a Model X 2016 and my husband has a model 3 2019. My X is sooo comfortable and the ride is so smooth compared to the model 3. The drawbacks are I do not get Netflix and my range is only 200mi, which sucks on road trips! I do however, love my biohazard filter, which is not on the 3. And I transport many children so having seven seats in the X is critical for me. I look forward to trying the Model Y one day though....I love Tesla and can’t imagine owning any other car but one of Elon’s models because going to a gas station is crazy to me.... thanks again for your comparison it was help others choose what works best for them.
How are the falcon doors for you? Do you think they are dangerous at all? I watched another review on them not opening up all the way sometimes and it kinda dropping on them. Thats the only drawback on me getting the X!
Good day! I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some

Thanks for pointing out that the Falcon Wng doors rub, I hadn't heard that before.
I think your right about the eating the Y sells of the X. I think they will redesign the X as a full size suv after the cybertruck comes out. Imagine a 7 seater with 500 miles of range.
Randy Summers The model Y is for people who can’t afford to get the model X there’s a big difference between the two
sells of the X? Do you mean "sales"?
The X already is a full size SUV according to their website
NotRicky true but I’m thinking suburban size.
@@Eclipse3581 It costs several billion dollars to redesign a car, update the factories etc. Model S and Model X are not going to be changed at this point. However they could eventually be replaced by new models after some years.
That said, Model 3 and Model Y will cover the needs of 95% of people, so there really isn't a need to add more models aside from Cybertruck, Semi, etc., which are totally different vehicle types.
i remember musk said it, he does not care S or X. His future is 3 and Y. This is aligned with his vision into the future, and I am glad he is not lost in his pursuit.
I rented a model X for the weekend and my favorite features were the driver focused panoramic windshield, free supercharging, speedometer display + vertical screen, adjustable ride height air suspension, falcon doors, usable third row, and fully motorized doors that open with the key fob or as you approach. The Y just doesn’t feel special after experiencing all that. Seems like it’s the better buy tho like you said, whereas an X seems like a better lease. I hope they don’t stop producing the X tho, it‘s such a unique ride. Hopefully rich people still keep buying it in a enough volume to continue production
Free super charging is not going to be a thing anymore with those models according to Elon musk. You can only get free supercharging for a year with cars that are in the inventory now i think. If you buy before Q3. After that I don’t think its gonna be free anymore.
Automatic door is dealbreaker. And basically right now used X 2017 versus brand new Y - X is cheaper about 5-7K. So, I would say X is winner
It's very interesting because it really shows how Tesla has thought about these 2 cars and how they can make it so that the Y won't necessarily eat into the sales of the X. Just with the little things you mentioned like the sunroof. It would be personal taste at that point.. which do you love more? The falcon wing doors or the sunroof? Both are really good selling points of the cars. The Y is really just a bigger version of the 3 much like the X is a bigger version of the S. A more apt comparison for the Model Y is the model 3 because it's that Model's potential customers that the Y is going to be hi-jacking. lol
Good analysis. However the X is wider so when you put kids in the car and go on a road trip, they have more room ( 5 seater). So in my opinion, the X wins
Great video Marc, well balanced and factual. I own a Model X and couldn’t be happier. I have not had any issues with the rubbing by the Falcon doors so far, had the car for 16 months now. The only issue is that tyre wear is about half of what other SUV’s will give. This is because they use 220 PLY tyres I’m told, also I hear the car applies a negative camber especially if using the Low suspension setting. However the tyre cost is offset by the fact that due to the regenerative braking, there should never be a need to replace the brake pads during the life of the car. I love the Tesla brand, on the list for the Cyber truck! Keep the videos coming Marc, awesome job!
I like the X because I think having the small Instrument panel in front of you makes it feel I am driving a car.
The Y dash is plan kinda makes me feel like I am setting in a space craft, plus all that glass.
Depends on your preferred design aesthetic
model y's proportions look so much nicer and even prefer it over the 3
I own a Y and took it to Highway One Timber Cove over the weekend to get away from the East Bay heat (+100°!!!). What a fantastic road machine! All the curves, views, deceleration, acceleration, an incredible experience that totally took away my blues! Loving the view looking up! Just installed a removable sunshade to block intense sun, big improvement but miss that view! Need to glue in clips, too easily lost!
Thought Elon said they will keep manufacturing Model S and X most for sentimental reasons. Add a 100KwH battery option and air suspension option for 3 and Y and there are not many reasons for buying S and X anymore
Model S is still awesome coz you get much more trunk space and it definetly feels wider inside. And I like the verticla screen too - u can scroll music and see the nav at the same time.
Some people just want a car with falcon wing doors
Really like the way you explained the issues with the door on model x and comparison of the seating positions and the sun roof.
These are the things you wouldn’t know straight off just by viewing once , unless you use it in real life.
I’ve just ordered the Model Y and waiting for the release date here in Norway. I currently have the Model 3 but wanted a bigger car. I’ve also considered buying a used Model X instead which sometimes has made me second guess my choice of buying the Y but this video really put things in perspective and was very helpful.
Thanks!

Thank you sharing. In China the Model 3 has just realized localization. Model Y may takes at least 2 years.
Hey Marc, thanks for the comparison review! It was really helpful. I agree with you about the "wood". I can't wait to see your customizations.
Good day! I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some

I have two fixes for both the falcon wing door problems. one, close the button from the back where the button is so u don’t have to dodge it, and 2, wait till u get out to open the door using the button on the outside. Unless u mean the kid is closing and opening the door
I dont know why so many people hate the wood dash! I love mine!
i think its cuz of the fact that it isn't like a dark glossy wood
Does it reflect on the windshield?
@@PS-zw4yc Depends on where u are like if the sun is showing then no
It just screams old school....no idea why they have that color
@@PS-zw4yc no I’ve never seen a reflection on the windshield from it!
The Gull Wing doors don't open if you flip, allow rain/snow/dust in and heat and cold out way more than regular doors and don't rub. The Y has a trunk in the back and the seats fold to allow for hauling larger/more.
Thank you so much. Ironically I test drove the model Y today and love it. I think the model X is more of a younger generation style, with the falcon doors And I don’t think it’s worth the difference in price.. The comparison you Give make it much easier for me now to choose the model Y thank you thank you
great job on posting the difference of the Y and X model. Love the gull wing doors but looks like trouble. Order the Y and excited to get it....
Me personally , even with a lot people talking about the potential demise of the Model X after the Model Y comparisons, I have a soft spot for the X and those doors, it’s till one of the coolest vehicles on the road when the doors work, you know they get a lot of attention when seen in action in public. I’m sure seeing the cars when they are closed people think it just another SUV and are probably shocked when they see them open lol. If you can remember way back when the Y was just talked about in Elon’s mind he wanted he wanted it to have the falcon wing doors like the X, but he was talked out of it. I for one hope that Tesla doesn’t make the S and X history and go on to redesign both, preferably with the design of the Cybertruck and more luxurious interiors. Tesla wound be crazy not to have vehicles in the luxury class, they need to have vehicles in that segment.
I do love Model X... no doubt about it.
Dude!!! 1M views, you should have at least 750k likes. This is the video I've been looking for. Definitely helped with my decision. Love how you go in depth, measurements and all for cargo. Real life annoyances for the X doors. Model Y for me. Now I just need to determine model 3 vs S. Then model Y vs the winner.
Thanks!
I think they’ll just have to do a big update to the X, I doubt they’ll completely stop the product line
Thanks for showing both models, I was pretty confused but now I can definitely tell my hubby I want the Y mainly because of similarities with big price difference.
I love the dash on the X which helps you not have to look away from looking ahead , ... I think they should have put them in all models. But $30,000 more... probably not. Thanks for this great video comparing the X and Y 👍👍

I had a chance today to look at the Model Y at one of the hospitals here in Longview, TX today and it is amazing!
It was white with white interior, not my favorite choice, but gorgeous, in any case. For the price, I would definitely go with this model over the expensive Model X, but that’s just me. Have a nice day!
Thanks for doing this review. We test drive a model Y today and I agree with everything that you said. The Model X looks better style wise but if cost is a factor, people should consider model y. Your review is very helpful, great job
I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some

Thanks for the comparison. I'm with you. I can't justify the price difference. The Y is a solid option.
I was very set on the X and after watching honestly I’m sold with the Y, everything I need and a whole lot cheaper
What about tow package on a model Y ?
Thanks for a great comparison as I tormented over the choice and finally ordered a Model Y!
Love the review my man. In case you didnt know you can put child safety locks on the x when you go into settings. So you can get out your car first and wont risk the falcon doors hitting you lol. Thanks for the review bro, keep up the good work🤙
You did an amazing job with this video great video very detailed thank you for giving us exactly what we were thinking we wanted to see. This will surely help people on the fence cause even I wanted to see a great detailed comparison. So thank you and great great job!
Nice video. We have an X now and the lease is up in May 2021. Not too impressed with the 3 because it is too small. Will definitely look a Y when lease ends.
Thank you for this content I’m getting a model y within the next week or so and have been watching videos till it gets here haha
We have a Model 3 and are torn between adding a Y or X both with 3rd row seating. What I real like with the X is the captain seats in the 2nd row and the aisle I can use to get to the 3rd row. We’ve had mini vans that have the aisle and to me it’s very convenient. Although I’m always driving I could care less but I notice I use the aisle rather than move the 2nd row seats forward to get to the 3rd row. Something I have to think about before making a decision
Thanks Marc....Really helpful in making a decision to go either Model X or Y. Model Y it is! Look forward to seeing your custom work on the Y.
Seems like we're paying 20k for those dang falcon doors.
I'm considering this Model Y. Improve the interior and it'll be an easier choice for some of us.
Zel from experience the falcon doors tear a new arshole in you
So Mark , I didn’t see,but did you get the performance package?
I'm sitting here like. This man has some money to have two teslas.
He has some bills/debt...
You can achieve the same in a couple years, not kidding, start out by reading some books about money and wealth so that you start understanding how money actually works ("Rich dad poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill etc.) then when you read those books and you understood them you need to work on your mindset, you need to learn how to "get shit done", this is the trickiest part, cus even reading a book is easy to do, BUT EVEN EASIER NOT TO DO, that's where your mindset comes into play.
Don't focus on wanting money tomorrow, that's not happening, focus on having money next year, 2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now.
You're going to be here 10 years from now, and you'd much better be wealthy than ending up thinking "oh, i should've listened to that guy on TH-cam 10 years ago".
A great book for this is "Psycho-cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz.
When you know the basics of money and are mentally ready you need new knowledge, you need knowledge to start a business, online businesses like affiliate marketing, self publishing, dropshipping, consulting, SMMA, done-for-you services etc. require very small initial investments (like 2000 bucks is way more than enough, if you have more then you're going to see progress much more quickly, but don't use this as an excuse not to get started) and you can find great courses that teach you about these businesses (the guys in the ads who you probably think are scammers, some of them are tho, so only trust guys who prove you they know what they're talking about), just don't be cheap.
These businesses are very very scalable (because online you don't have to pay rent for any location, you don't need employees, you basically have no costs except for a few tools and eventually ads depending on what business you start with, because being on the internet you have access to a huge amount of clients, so what you have to do is basically keep putting the money you make back into the business so that you keep making more and more and more (sounds easier than it is tho).
Stop listening to other people, only listen to successful people, "other people" haven't done, are not doing and will never do anything with their lives, always been like that since the dawn of time and will always be like that, so why would you take advice from these people? Would you take nutrition and exercise advice from your skinny-fat friend or from a muscular and ripped guy?
Remember one thing: success is the result of failing many times, more times than most people are willing to fail, if you fail all you have to do is try again, you only have to succeed once, doesn't matter how many failures you've gone through, the successful try is the only one that matters, if you never try or stop trying you will never succeed, and thus you have failed forever.
Seriously man, go on Amazon and order those 3 books, no excuses, you definitely have like 40$ to spend on life changing books, 2 years from now, 5 years from now you'll thank me, just keep in mind there's no trick, it's a slow process, but doesn't take forever, sacrificing 2 years or so of your life to make the rest of it GREAT is totally worth it imo.
The earlier you get started, the earlier you'll get there, as easy as that.
You decide who you will be in the future, who you are today and the life you have is the result of the decisions and actions you took in the past, always be this brutal to yourself.
@@s_1408 way to assume.
@@remyd8767 nope. Just stating a possibly just like the OP did.
@@s_1408 fair
I’ve got a handicapped child and to get her in and out of the car the X is fabulous.
I couldn’t wait for the next X and it’s twice the price of the Y, so I tried the Y and it was also pretty good for my daughter so 2 weeks later, everyone’s happy.
These cars are great. Great video and your thought process at the end is perfect.
We have 2019 model x 5 seater and 2018 model 3. Waiting on our model y. I didn’t notice right away, but due to the falcon wing doors on the x, there is very limited storage in the back seats. No door pockets, no coat/ dry cleaning hooks, and no seat back pockets even. No center armrest in the back. If you have kids, you need all the storage you can get.
Probably THE most practical comparison of tesla cars i've seen on the internet. Kudos !!
This has been an insanely helpful video. I can't even tell you how much I've been going back and forth between an X and a Y. The X new is just too damned much to feel good about, so was gonna do an X used, this comparison is EXACTLY what I needed.
Glad I could help Emma. Good luck with your decision! :)
which way did you go (X/Y) ? :)
Great comparison, many thanks. We have owned our Model X for just coming up to 4 years and it's a great car, no question. No regrets whatsoever in choosing it. We also have a Model 3 now, which is great too, but obviously quite a bit different. We have just ordered a Model Y to replace our X early next year. I think unless you really need a 6 or 7 seater, then the Y makes a lot more sense and with the latest UI it feels like a newer generation than the older X. I guess that the newly updated X interior addresses that particular issue, but the price difference is just too big for us to justify. Had the Y been available 4 years ago we would definitely have chosen it over the X on cost alone, but back then the choice was actually Model X vs Model S and we wanted the extra rear cargo space of the X. It's good to know that the Y has almost the same cargo space. It's actually closer than I thought it would be, which is great!

Thanks for this. I’m picking up my model y on the June 7th..
This is a really good comparison. Not the same boring stats but new information.
Thank you for making the video. We are really going back and forth between both X & Y. "X " was the one I really wanted first but the more I learn about Y, the more I question it. Falcon wing doors super cool, maybe silly, but I love them. But, not sure if they are worth the price tag. Plus WOW, isn't the X pricey , but the dash is nicer and heated everything if you want in the X. I live in a cold climate ... Maybe a used X ... Hum? Still tough, but thanks .

Another big plus for the X is the controls. Much easier to operate wipers is one example. I also like the separate stalk for cruise and autopilot.
Model X 2021 Redesign without stalks: Im boutta end this mans career
I think the Y will eat more into the sales of the 3 than the X. After all, the Y is just a tad bit larger than the 3. The price point is also alot closer to the 3 than to the X so that'll also be something to think about when choosing between the different models.
Thank you for your overview of both models. We took delivery of or Model Y Performancein Decebmer. After 3500 miles so far, we are happy with the car.
Great Video Marc. I cannot agree with you on the cannibalization. Having a family of 6, the Model X 6 passenger far exceeds the Model Y 7 passenger for livable layout and space for a family of our size. We simply could not fit into a Model Y 7 passenger. There are also styling differences, performance differences, towing differences, and interior preferences that make the Model X a compelling choice. That being said, comparing 5 passenger models like you have, I can see some 5 passenger Model X buyers moving to the Model Y 5 Passenger. I believe a price adjustment on the Model X will be more likely through better battery tech than the elimination of the vehicle all together. Time will tell.

Great review! I own the X and the front windshield is worth it for a guy that is 6' 5". We have 4 kids and the 6 seat configuration offers better 3rd row space for my tall kids. The automatic doors on the front are underrated in my opinion. The two screens let's you dedicate driving needs in front of you and opens up more space on the center screen. The other plus is the adjustable air suspension that offers a lot of comfort and an option to raise the car a few inches for snow. The audio system is second to none in my opinion as well. These feature are what keeps me interested in the X, but the Y is a fantastic version of the X in a slightly smaller package.

Great review! I love the model x and always have but when practicality comes into play, it's hard for me to choose a model x over a model y.

Interesting I don’t see anyone talking about the seating in the comments or addressed in the video. To me the main difference is capacity - the model Y 3rd row I wouldn’t even consider useable. For people who need that third row with 3 kids or taking around more people - model X is far superior. Also very car seat friendly with the falcon doors. You can stand straight up buckling them in.
I have a new Ford F150, I have spots that rub and they put the film on them.
Thank you for taking the time and effort in showing all of this !
I thank you so sincerely, I have been on the fence and even renting cars because of indecision which you resolved for me!
Glad I could help!
Great review! However, I doubt the X is going away anytime soon. I have one, and I doubt most people care about the rubbing issue that much. Yes, the Y will outsell it by a ton, but the people with lots of $ will still want a higher-end car to prove they are not one of the commoners with a lowly Y. LOL. BTW, I'll be replacing my X with a Y too because it's cheaper as well...which makes me a commoner haha. Tesla has so few offerings as it is, they need to wait till the CyberTruck is out at a minimum before dropping the X...but I doubt they will even then, especially if they do an S/X interior refresh along with Plaid Mode later this year.
Awesome Video Marc. You made it easier to Confirm Im making the right choice. I love my 75D MS, but I knew It would be replaced. We thought about getting an X but Im glad that for the money we are definately making the right choice. I cant wait to get my Model Y buddy🤙🏽
Thanks for the video. I just ordered my Model Y this past wk. have to wait till July 22 to get it. I do like the Model X thou. Maybe I’ll trade my Y in after a few year for the X. All about looks. They both look damn near close. The Interior the X has the Y beat.
Nice summary 👍
We still need the space of the X, otherwise I would consider a Y.
8 seat cybertruck would be gold 😁
Yeah... I need a 7 seater Cybertruck... he's talked about having the "vault" be accessible from back seat, and HVAC back there as a result... maybe could screw a seat or two with a 5 point harness back there? if u can get through the 30x hardened cold rolled steel? I don't know... guess we'll have to find out ;-)
Thank you for the side by side comparison. Many people have pointed out that the rear hatch on the model Y extends into what you could consider to be the the bumper area, but I didn't see it clearly until I saw your video. At 17:25 on your video, you see the difference between the models very clearly. I hope that Tesla can change the rear hatch of the model Y, so that it doesn't extend so low. A minor bump to the rear door would cause a very large repair bill.
Thanks for the comparison and your perspective! I think there are two good reasons to purchase an X despite the comments made in favor of the Y (which I agree with for the most part, actually):
1) Range - if you take frequent road trips, which our family does, the range of the Long Range X is important.
2) Towing Capacity - we have a heavy boat and the Y can't tow it.
Also, a potential #3, but it's too early to say, is the 7 seat configuration. The X with the 7 seat configuration is comfortable for children and even passable for adults and still yields large storage space. It's not clear if the Y with 7 seats will have as much storage or will have as comfortable a 3rd row. Until the Y with the 7 seat configuration is out, we can't know if this difference will be significant or not.
In general, I agree that the other differences are small enough to really consider a Y instead of an X and save the price difference.
If you have anything over 3,500 lbs to tow or if you take frequent road trips and want to reduce the frequency of super charging on those road trips, the X may still be the better option.
Thank you Marc for taking the time to put together this excellent, thorough and informative video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Marc, this is the first good detailed video I've seen comparing the two. My wife and I are going to be deciding between the two soon, I look forward to seeing the Y in person to get in the back. With two kids in child seats, we're leaning heavily towards the X for the 6 seater option. The rear bucket seats are great for keeping some sanity in the back seat and gives us flexibility when riding with additional family. I don't have much confidence at this time in the space of the future 3rd row in the Y. Aside from that, I'd choose the Y too, especially for the cost which is why we remain torn. I'm hoping for a X refresh announcement that would more differentiate the two AND justify the cost difference. Anyway, great vid
Had an X with a third row seat. Never used it once. Hard to access. Waste of $6K in my opinion. You can put both kids in row two. My Blue Raven has five seats. Plenty. World Record SUV fast as well. Did 1/4 mile in 11.2 at PBIR. I think I would also take the Y for the price difference and I'm on my second X, one S, one 3.
This side-by-side comparison is very helpful. Actual measurements is valuable, while styling is a matter of personal taste. One detail that's important to us (because we travel with older dogs who need to jump into the car) s the height of the hatch sill above the ground. Thanks for adding this dimension. I applaud your great camera work, sir. Very nicely done.

Thanks, Marc. This is so helpful. I went to see the Teslas today and was told that the Model X was a few months wait plus they didn't have one I could drive. I did drive a model Y and am considering it over the X after watching your video.
Thank you for the comparison video. It was very helpful. ! I’ve debated this very issue. I have been leaning towards the model Y and you’ve confirmed my thoughts!
