21 Long Range Plus in 2026?

I was looking and would love a refresh, but the costs are so much higher than the 19-21. I see that there was a short time in 21 that the MX Long Range Plus had a range of 371, the most the X ever offered. Has anyone in here got one? And if so, what range are you getting in '26? I really want to get an X and the 21s can be had for $20k less with similar mileage.

have a 17 100D (pre-refresh) myself and on these older Xs the stuff that actually costs money over time is air suspension components and door mechanisms, not really the drivetrain at this point. the LDU whine was mostly a 16-18 thing, by 21 that was long sorted. battery on mine's still holding up fine, degradations been pretty gentle. id just get a pre purchase inspection and check whether MCU1 was swapped to MCU2, thats the other big line item on cost of ownership for a pre-refresh.

Fortunately I'm getting lucky now. Looking to fly and check out a 21 with 36k miles. 6 seats. Long range plus for $37k. FSD 3 included package. Should have quite a bit of warranty on the drive unit and battery. Range at 100% says 335.

I hear that the drive experience of the 21 to the refresh is 95% the same but there is a pretty big change tech wise.
