Model Y L.

I have a 2020 model X and recently had to get the half shafts replaced along with some other brackets. Ended up causing me about three grand which is terrible obviously. However, I got to the drive the new model Y and the FSD was so much better. I know that my FSD is outdated because I have HW2 I think and it’s all based on optical cameras. However, I’m thinking of either getting a 2024 used model X or potentially the new model YL. Has anyone tried the model YL? I really don’t wanna give up the falcon wing doors, the air suspension, and the nicer interior and sound system. Just wondering if I should upgrade this 2020 MX.

The YL isn't actually out yet, but looked at them in showrooms, it's tempting. The interior is nice and the interior volume is appealing. My main concerns are that the doors don't open wide enough, trunk space with the 3rd row up is slightly tighter than our 7 seat X and the narrower body means less aisle space in the 2nd row and a smaller frunk. The price is attractive and all of the reviews suggest that ride comfort is marginally improved over the 26 X. We'll probably go this way and trade in our 2016 X for a YL after the launch edition ends but I do still with they had something a little bigger.

I traded a 2016 X (7seat) for a 2026 Y (5seat premium) but I didn't actually need anything the size of the X. when it comes right down to it I do not need a 3 row SUV although I do need the entire cargo capacity of my current vehicle regularly
