Buying a Model X!

You should have the "First Lady" in your videos more often, I like the chemistry you guys have together! You guys make a great TEAM!

JAMIE is correct ! 💪 I went to X from the Y LR... JAMIE will fall in love with it due to the 2nd row doors for loading child.... The extra space in frunk and trunk is AMAZING too... I ended up falling in love with the yoke as well and originally thought I'd hate it... You cant beat the price for the value AND you guys can write it OFF... DAMN IT... Just do it ❗ FAR more quality of life improvement to the family than any silly refresh 3... TRUST ME !!!! AND it is freaking awesome on road trips how far you can go before a charge and how FAST it recharges due to the size of this battery.... JUST DO IT 💪

The normal round steering wheel comes as standard. The yoke is a $1k addon at the moment lol

I got one with the Yoke (when it was the only option). I quickly got used to it and loved it. It did end up having the peeling that people are getting. Tesla said that they are redesigning the yoke with better materials at some point later in the year so they offered to just replace it with the round wheel so we did that. I wish I still had the yoke, it's great for visibility and turns aren't that bad after you get used to it. Can't recommend the X enough if you have kids in car seats. So much easier to load/unload them. Also the space is awesome for strollers and road trips with family/kids.

Picked up a Model X Plaid recently. For me, the yoke was surprisingly easy to get used to. The part that is challenging--the turn signals--is not unique to the yoke. The same push-button signaling is used on the optional steering wheel. For normal turns, they're fine. But for use in roundabouts, quite a bit of practice is needed. I was skeptical of the yoke, got it because the car I selected was an inventory vehicle (additional discount), and have ended up enjoying it. I wouldn't swap to a steering wheel because, like I said, doing so wouldn't do anything to address the turn signals. Small things: The ability to open and close all of the doors from the driver's seat is damn cool. The sound system is superior to that of my Model 3 Performance. With the unique back doors, the experience of staging for a hike or returning to your car after a bike ride is great, it makes it easy to manage your gear. For some reason, the FSD graphics are only displayed for the driver, and as of yet, there's no way to allow the passengers to see the visualization on the main screen.

We went from a Y to the X and one thing I really miss is the ultrasonic sensors. Vision isn't as good yet for sure, wish they would have left the sensors on.

I have a ‘16 MX 6seater with over 265k 1:09 and love it. Haven’t replaced the brakes. Only lost 13% of the battery. Get it, you won’t regret it.

My wife said the same thing - our new X Plaid is significantly nicer than our 7 seater Y. The Falcon wing doors are great in getting our 4yr old in her car seat. When your daughter gets older/bigger your back will appreciate it. Also, the ability to open and close the all of doors from the screen is amazing (just wish there was a way to close all of the doors with one button from the outside and not from the phone). Think the 6 seater version is the best layout giving the most flexibility.

We just went and test drove one today! Loved it! We also have a Y that we will probably trade in. I was bummed to find out that any other seating option besides the 5 seater didn’t qualify for the 7500 rebate :( oh well. Also debating on if it’s worth loosing our cheap registration we have on the Y.

Currently drive an older performance model S… looking to get a model X when finances allow. Took a road trip to flagstaff in a Turo model X, it was outstanding to say the least. Such a spacious vehicle and quiet to boot…

I had my MY in for service the other day and I test drove an X while I waited. Definitely agree, wasn't a fan of the yolk either. For straight cruising its fine, but found in parking lots it was a hot mess. But the X is a nice ride for sure! Can't wait to see what you guys end up going with!

I have the Model S with the yoke and i would have to say that i love it. It took a while but once you get used to it its not bad. The wood trim looks good if you go with the black interior. The wood is not light like the one that you are test driving. Hey everyone has their own opinion.

Go for it. We also ordered after price drop. Going from MY to MX 7 seater with 3 small kids

I love mine!!! Get one. The only complaint I have is the yoke fake leather is peeling and tesla told me they know it’s a known issue. They will replace mine only once and they said they are working on better materials, so I’m waiting

Tough call X vs Y the Falcon doors are a concern but the X has more features the air suspension alone is worth it over the Y.

1. Swap that yoke steering wheel bout for a circular one.. there are plenty of options for that and finishes 2. Even though they dropped the price on that egg and that dash and other areas are hard people expect a certain level of quality and luxury for that price. It’s not just soft cooked seats that are important at that price.

Same overall feelings about the X as a 5+year Model 3 owner, both a 18' LR RWD and a 19' Performance. Never drove one before but fell for it within minutes....it's that good.....especially the suspension quality, fit and finish of the cabin, upgraded tech (HW4/17" tilt screen/Matrix Headlights/rear seat screen, etc). Ordered one on 9/4 and now I impatiently wait! My order qualifies for the Federal $7500, $1000 Tesla Loyalty Cash (now reduced to $500), Free Ultra Red and 3-months of Free FSD. Considering its price is over $40k LESS than the same build in Jan. 2023 it's a killer value IMO!

Save the money, buy a updated MY when it comes. Or wait until next year, when they deduct the price upfront instead of the hazel with taxes.

“You’re not sitting here though…” Exactly. 50+ years of owning cars and driving has enlightened me: driving is what counts. I mean, sure, it’s nice to be surrounded by luxury materials. But, really, they don’t do squat for improving the driving experience. As long as the materials are good and the build quality is also good (and in my Tesla, they are both good and solid), if I’m paying a premium price, I’d rather that money go into components that positively affect the driving experience. And the Tesla does that: performance, handling, and tech (and the charging network which also affects the driving experience!) all make my driving Tesla a pleasure, each and every time. (And I like the stiffer suspension and ride - makes the car feel and respond better IMHO.) I’d say Tesla spent their R&D money in exactly the right areas! If I was buying another EV today, after owning EVs (both Tesla and non-Tesla) for the past 2.5+ years, and driving them all over this country, it’d be a no-brainer: Tesla. Full stop. Case closed. Moving on in life. Safe travels, all!

I just leased a 23 Model S LR. I came from a MYP. Interior quality is a substantial upgrade. Ride quality is also much smoother.
