I was on the fence between these two. Thank you for your review. Update: I just purchased the X. Against my better judgment.😅 I fell in love with the front windshield, self opening doors and love the falcon doors. I’ll be broke but will have a smile every time someone asks to see it. I love making people happy and even take strangers for a ride.

I know ppl are talking about affordability vs luxury. But for families with multiple kids, the kids trump all of that. I would choose the X simply bc it’s more family and passenger friendly. There’s no price to that. As long as you can afford it, of course.

My wife and I bought a used 2016 model X with 90, 000 Mi on it. $25k OTD what the federal tax credit applied.
Sure there will be some range degradation and we were both prepared for that but this suv is more for running around town.
So far my wife absolutely loves the model X as it's her primary car.
No suspension or steering issues so far.
The gentleman who had it before us took meticulous care of the model X. The seats look brand new as does the rest of the vehicle.
We're only going to keep this vehicle for 2 years and depending on how it treats us I will buy my wife a new one in 2026 when I retire.

I love my Model X 100D, Falcon Doors, comfort, the range is good and its plenty fast, 22wheels, Blk exterior and White Interior

The Model Y is probably the best all around bang for the buck, but I'm still hung up on the Model X. It's larger, roomier, smoother, and those doors just make it special. You see Model 3s and Model Ys everywhere nowadays, but not many Xs, so it would be nice to have something a little less common. I'm currently considering an older used one, since the new ones are so expensive. I love the reworked interior on the '22 models and up, but, again, they're pricey. The pre-Raven and Raven models are becoming more affordable, and most don't have too many miles on them.

Had a Tesla service mechanic tell me the X has suspension issues that are numerous and expensive - up to ten grand in some cases. He said between the two (which I asked him about) go for the Y

Winter 2023 in my 2019 Model X. Great video, it’s nice to hear peoples experience. I purchased my X used in 2022 it’s been a year. I love it! No issues.

I’m a cruiser no kids, I came from a 2020 5 series BMW I could not step into a minimalist interior. I had to have a more luxury car. Wanted the MS but, had been longing for an SUV to hall my camera gear around. The 7 seater with seats folded down was key in most room offered.

I needed the instrument cluster, and I needed a more normal front end. The model Y and 3 front end don’t do it for me. I’m about looks, and luxury. Yes we have a market for that. In my opinion the model X and S are more luxury. I don’t mind giving up miles, as I just commute around town and I have plenty for that. I’m not traveling cross country everyday.

The smarter decision would have been new y if I wanted more efficiency, and warranty. I chose to spoil my self and not give up on what I found more appealing. I’m not regretting it at all. Yes, the falcon doors are embarrassing at times, but at the same time makes you feel like you have the ultimate exotic ride on the block especially with the 22’S on it. :)

Brother you just sold me into getting a used model X with that closing doors. LOL

[ScullyPop]

Kobra's got you COVERED on the Tesla Front.

[tysoy]

I went with luxury & the smoother ride for long roadtrips across America and Canada. YOLO
Thanks for a great comparison video bro!

[BarryJohnson]

Thanks for mentioning the warranty but I would probably go for the driving experience. Actually, thanks for covering both.

[O.A.]

Great video!! With having kids that obviously will not stay small the X is the better option. Thank you for making this video.

[committedthecore]

I prefer the wood grain interior of the model X. It looks really good

[j.]

So you specifically talk about using it as a 7-seater…
…but then you don’t show storage space with both 3rd rows up.
THAT was what I was looking for! You don’t buy the X if you don’t need the extra seats, so the question of storage for these is so relevant!

Nice comparo. I have did the same comparisons back in 2020 when I got my new Model 3 LR. I spent about a month going back and forth between 2020 Model 3 LR versus a 2016 Model S 100D at the time. The warranty and the charging speed were my deciding factors, when I found a similar price (with 45, 000 miles) of around $53k all in. I think if I could have been able to get an extended warranty at the time plus a power sunroof, I would have gone with the S.

Love my 3, but definitely looking to add a Model Y soon. I remembered, Kobra told me!

I'm so glad you made this video! Thank you!

Most helpful & interesting - Very clearly explained - I learnt a lot.
Many the way from London !

[mattyarnall]

THANK YOU for measuring the trunk depth. I bought a Mercedes GLE 53 AMG and the damn trunk can’t fit a full size suit case long ways. Absolutely drives me bonkers.

[RayDaManX]

I must know where you got the yoke installed? I want a white one also and not sure if I need to remove the battery.

A better comparision would be a model Y performance vs a used Model X
