Just purchased an X to replace my 3, and the wife has a Y. I still think the Y is the better buy, but the X definitely has a better “feel” to it. Overall I’d say the Y feels like a mid-$40’s car, while the X feels like a high $70’s. Obviously the falcon wing door add expense, and value in limited circumstances, but I think that they’re not a justification for the excessive price. Worse still is the S. In terms of value I’d place the lineup like this: MY LR M3P MYP M3 LR M3 SR MY SR MX LR MXP MSP MS SR MX SR MS LR

[@crystalwaters513]

im new to tesla and deciding what car to get, why is s the worst?

[@15725867905]

@@crystalwaters513 The rear seat space is marginally bigger than the 3, it’s very expensive and there are no party tricks like the X has. The S is also the oldest in the lineup in terms of architecture.

its hard to justify double the price tag. I personally dont care for the falcon doors and think the X should be a bit bigger as they look too similar

[@niceguy4u1000]

Last week we traded in our 2021 LR Model Y for a new 2023 Model X. So far we love it and don't have any regrets. The only thing I wish that Tesla would do differently is to have mud guards installed on all their vehicles.

[@jonathanyee3406]

Had a loaner X. The glass ceiling above the falcon door was cracked, but didn't notice it until I got curious. I mentioned this to the service center and they didn't argue. I like X's ride comfort, though the X's weight takes a hit on kWH/mile as compared to the Y and 3 resulting in longer charging times and higher energy costs.

[@meadmaker4525]

At the price point and given the available features and performance, the Model Y LR is hard to beat. Having said that, there are 2023 MXs out there now, just coming off lease with low miles, for the mid-$50K range. So, if I'm gonna spend that kind of money and my choices are a brand new Model Y LR or an almost new, well maintained, low mileage Model X, I'm going with the Model X all day long. All of the extra refinement in the X definitely matters to me, and I'm in love with the falcon wing doors.

[@30secondsToHimars]

Oh guys, after 4 years of owning my 2018 Model X, the biggest issue I've faced is an unexpected one: I've lost interest in exploring other SUVs or electric vehicles, even other Tesla models including the Cybertruck. The seven-seater configuration with foldable seats has been perfect for camping trips with my wife, working or playing games from the third-row seat #6, using the folded second row as a makeshift desk for my laptop, or simply cruising around the neighborhood. The elevated ride height of 22cm genuinely sets it apart. The drawbacks are minimal - slightly higher consumption and the need to keep an eye on the air suspension and steering rack due to the vehicle's considerable weight.

I have a new Model X and it is best car I have ever owned. Our last SUV was a Mercedes GLS 450, and the X is a much better vehicle in almost every way. The only thing I might do differently in the future is buy a five seater. Our six seater is really nice but you can't fold the second row down when you need maximum cargo space.

[@EverydayChris]

It’s sexy though

[@johnp2909]

X is way better than Y.

[@captaingish]

For sure! I have both but I usually drive the X, and on the few occasions that I drive the Y, feels like I’m roughing it lol. I mean, I have to open and close my own doors and use gear stalks and the bumpy ride…The Y is Marriot and the X is Ritz Carlton haha Hey Chris! 👋

[@johnp2909]

@@christopherblake2588 I look at it this way. Benz and bmw or any car models. Is there a big difference between their high ends to their low ends? It's a matter of preference. There's difference between x n y and you can't go wrong with any of them. It's a matter of how much do you want to pay.

I have a Nissan 350z and since getting a much better job I’ve been debating between a model X and y I’ve driven MANY other cars and really liked other cars like the Lexus LS, and macan.. mainly how quiet they were, smooth ride, more space(not hard to beat a 350z) and get up and go.(I’m not a speed demon but like to be able to pass quickly if needed).. I think I’m leaning the model X more

Depends!

[@drewksidetour]

You did the wood dash swap too! Love how it looks inside the Y. They should make that configurable on site

[@dannyumana143]

I own the MYP 2022, and I was thinking of getting the 2023 X since, as of today, I can get it for about $83k. Which is what I paid for my MYP in March 2022 (high peak price). Still haven't decided, but I think I am leaning to keep the MYP. No issues, and it's nibble and fits in many places for parking, etc.

The x does a great job as well!

[@EverydayChris]

[@ronkemperful]

Model X truly is a technical tour of force. But like all things more complicated, more to go wrong too. Personally, as an old fuddyduddy who drove a 56 VW convertible that lacked basic necessities such as heat, horsepower, sufficient headlights, a horn that could be heard, power windows, AC, automatic transmission, air bags, sound proofing, power steering or brakes, heated seats or a heated steering wheel (at least it has an old-fashioned steering wheel and turn signal levers, hmm?), and it rode on bias ply tires... I think the Model Y is a better value in the long run.

[@ethaerial9626]

If you had to choose between a fully spec'd out New Model Y Performance or a nicely equipped 2021 Used Model X Performance....both around $70K.....what would you choose?

[@EverydayChris]

Damn. I'd have to go with Y performance. Not a fan of the Old X interior. Also, battery is newer, faster charging, etc. If it was like a 2022 updated interior X, that's something else

[@jenniferkidd336]

Still Team Model Y..I don't think Model X is worth the price and it's too bulky and a bit ugly..I love all Teslas but other than the cool falcon wing doors and more range, the Y really has everything I could want.

Tesla should really up their customization levels, such as the different types of dash boards such as the wood, white, or maybe even black or carbon fiber options to choose...i like the X much more than the other models...i just really wish they had the option of selecting normal doors. I just dont like the wings. Thats my only real turn off from it. So much so i chose the Y version cuz normal doors lol but id switch if X solved this.

[@AA-ep8it]

Buy a new Model Y over anything before a Raven Model X, if they are similarly priced. Of course, if you can afford a Palladium (2022 and newer Model X), than that is a much better car! Source: owned 4 Model Xs and 2 Model Ys

[@JTR253]

I think the ground clearnace is pretty low on Model Y. Am I right? I like 8 inches or higher since I live in the snowbelt. I also sort of hate the fact that they didn't make it look like an SUV but a bloated car especially the Model X. I like the SUV proportions of Rivian but then I'm not a fan of the cartoonish LED bars on the front and back of the vehicle. Why not style EVs like normal vehicles? The weird styling quirks aside from the less mature battery technology at least in the US holds me back on buying one. The price proposition is not there either as an actual EV SUV is going into luxury car territory. Upscale regular and reliable models are totally fine for me. It is a pity that we won't collaborate with China on battery tech in the future due to our Cold War.

Giga fail on 2-row seating.

It's absurd that a lexus or mercedes can give you limo back seat space and Tesluh can't. When I owned a 3-row minivan, I took the middle row out so people in back could stretch out 7 feet if they wanted. e-lawn is an a whole. And yes, whineys, I have a model Y Performance, just ordered a Model X, and have several milly in Tessy stock. E-lawn is still an a whole for obviously stew pid seating design

Hey Chris, I just got a Model Y LR about a month ago and was wondering if there's a place to submit recommendations to Tesla? You know how it shows your car when you place it in park on the screen, and you can click Frunk, Trunk, Charging port and Lock/Unlock? I wish they could add an option for the Glove Box between the Frunk and Roof. There are a number of times I'd try to get to the glove box, and think if someone gets in an accident or pulled over by the police... you might be a bit frazzled and don't want to step through the process or use the voice option? Just seems like there's room to add it, and since the item exists already it's just a shortcut update to the main (just parked) car screen. Love your videos, glad I found your channel!
