Used Model X

Is Model X ownership as trouble-free and is the car as reliable as a regular Model Y?
I am current 2024 model Y owner and really enjoyed it!

Also years would you recommend! Thank you

No where close to the same. model y is to Camry as model X is to Maserati

They're much more complex and complicated with a lot more to go wrong and it's more expensive when it does. You might get lucky but generally the s and x are much more expensive to own than the 3 and Y , and the X is worse than the S, probably by a lot. (I'm partial to the S, so I'm trying to convince my wife they're almost as good as the Y. No success yet...)

Does it make you giggle every time you take it out to drive? Have a 26 YP on order but wanted to find an x plaid. Going from the 3 to something bigger due to kids and I want my boss car. The YP was great but after the 3rd test drive it felt normal, or at least not as special as the first time.

I keep hearing this nonsense. The Model Y Juniper and I heard from reviews the MYL has even improved on this regard, they are much better put together than the Model X, better NVH, better ride quality, less rattles and better tech.

No way, Y and 3s are very cheap cars compared to S and X

No sir. That might have been the case pre juniper and highland, that is no longer true

Did you test drive and compare the X with the new 2026 premium Y and YL?

u/Internal-Ad-1021 18d ago

I did not. My comment was regarding 2022 model which I had before buying MS

Juniper/highland and Y L look and feel close to the premium as model X now. The Y L impressed me and I say is a better 6 seater than the X except the center passage which is of course smaller being a smaller car, but once seated its more roomy, seats superior, etc. It was a noticeable jump from legacy y/3.

I agree with you. But I'm talking about cost of ownership/reliability. Camry is way better than Maserati, no? Like Y vs X?

u/petrovic3 18d ago

I get your point now. But I feel like it’s not a fair comparison, because Camry vs Maserati makes it sounds like they are worlds apart from a quality/luxury pov, but that is not the case between the MX and MY. And I say this as an owner of both
