Why Buy A New Tesla Model Y When You Can Get A Used Ludicrous Model X Instead?

Buying a used P100D Ludicrous Tesla Model X is the way to go over a new Model Y. The falcon doors, air suspension, insane 0-60 times are justification enough! In this video I give you a rundown of a used 2018 Model X.

$60K for a 5 year old car, even if it used to cost $150 K back in 2018 is not that great of a deal. I’d go with my 2023 MY even in a sea of other MY. It just means that it’s a great car for its value.

couple reasons: outdated: can't use phone as key fob (must use keyfob, keycards dont work), before 2020 X's have issues with control arm, half shaft, falcon wing doors etc etc. MCU is slow due to slower processor. If you like the gullwings and faster car, and space, then go for the X. PS: Tires cost alot more and wear a lot faster due to performance, tire size and X weight

I like having the screen horizontal as playing videos on there gives you more screen to work with vs the vertical one in the used Model S/X. But if you can find a used one, they can probably be a good deal too. Just be prepared to spend more money to fix stuff if something does go wrong, and tires will cost more to replace due to their larger sizes.

I had this exact quandry and ended up getting a 2019 model X. It cost me $15K more than a new Y, and has warranty until end of 2028.
Really happy with my choice - no issues with fit / finish or quality and it just feels far more "executive" than the 3 or Y.
In Australia the X is very rare as no longer sold here... I hate to sound superficial but every uber / hire car is a 3 or Y.

The Model Y is very popular for a reason...value for money. But that doesn't mean luxury. The MX is bigger and roomier, has better sound deadening, a softer ride due to air suspension, fantastic automatic doors and deck-lid, and (depending on model) better range. The MX is built to deliver a more luxurious EV experience, and it does. The MY/3 is built to deliver a decent, economical, practical EV experience that's more affordable, and it does. If you're spending the same amount of money, a used MX is going to be a better car than a new MY. It's just whether it matters more to you to have something new versus something luxurious. In this particular case, an MX with ludicrous mode, it's basically a plaid, which is something a MY/3 will never achieve. Again...if that matters to you.

I seriously considered this option but I realized a brand new MY would cost $45k after the tax credit. I would lose 50% value or $22.5k in 5 years, while a 2018 MX at $60k would lose at least another 50% or $30k in 5 years. MY still comes out winner😂

my friend 2015 model X front motor failed last year (mileage 60k km), fortunately still under the 8 y powertrain guarantee. Had it failed later this year the cost would have been to him. Curious to see how these doors will work when the car will be 12 years old and more.
I strongly believe Tesla should put more emphasis on reliability rather than acceleration (which is kind of useless when it drops below 5 sec to 60 mph).

its been 5 years since that car was released and we don't know how the person treated their battery. A battery that last 8-10 years is already more than 50% done and likely has no warranty. It is not a "better" deal. It is only less up front money. That is all.

You can get a new Model Y for $46K and that's before the rebate of $7, 500. The Model X looks great, but a 2018 is already 5 years old. I'd rather get the Model Y.

[MidniteSon]

Having driven both, I totally agree with this video. Also Air Suspenion is a HUGE advantage

[bigd]

X has more space, features and you still get more looks than the Y. Resale is a lot better than the Y

[robertzieroth]

Just bought a 2022 X for $57k. Leaps and bounds better than the 2024 model Y. Beefier CPU, better screen position, more room, variable air ride suspension, and the overall build quality is superior.

[NDXmedinaQQQ]

10 k in rebates.. 7500 fed 2, 000 state 500 city.. 4 years bumper to bumper bigger screen.. fresh battery 8 year warranty 1st owner not a hammy down.. financially it's better choice.. price is now 49 k for base model y long range

2 late now! Last year bought model3 and this year MYP😂

Model Y’s are built better. At least the newer ones are. Rented a Model X while in Vegas. The amount of rattles and fit and finish issues I found compared to my 2023 Model Y Performance was crazy. It’s a $100K car brand new. I really thought about getting an X for my wife since I thought it’d be more comfortable for her and so far we love the experience of owning the Model Y. But having driven and ridden in a few X’s. It’s clear the X and S are Tesla’s niche products and they treat them like secondary cars.

[daman]

I’d go with the X. No USS on 2023 models. Tesla vision not even close.

[SvnnyMoney]

I heard that the older model X's have glitchy screens because the hardware is old. Is this true?

[TheEdmaster]

Model x is very heavy which means less range and more tear on wheels.

[voltairecarlos]

it needs a major refresh 2022 models have beeb recalled 11 times for faults

The MX is ridiculously expensive to maintain past its warranty. Most MX owners have done repairs worth 10-20K within the first 4 years. The simplest of things like a door handle can cost you 700-1000$. Not to mention the number of days in workshops.
