    Fix 2017 Model X suspension issues, or trade in for a new Y?

    I’d keep your 17. Very low mileage. We have a 17x and a 23 performance y. Old x still a much nicer car, especially we have 6 seats with leather. Ours has almost 70, and I’ve seen them with over 200k. I don’t know which state you are but tax and license here in California would be over 7k

    2021 40k mile Model X LR+ w/HW3 & Autopilot ($60k) or 2023 6k mile Model Y with HW4 & FSD included ($47k)?

    I have a 2017 x and a 2023 performance y. Both are good choices. X is definitely a more luxurious feeling when driving, softer suspension, more comfortable road car. Y is easier to park, more fun to drive, harsh suspension. My x is a 6 seat and I find 2nd row more comfortable than my y. Never...

    parallel universe: assume $ is not an issue (gas, payments, etc.), would you still insist driving MX/MXP SUV over say BMW X7 SUV 100% fully optioned ?

    Our 7 year x still feels like a car from the future. I love the no maintenance aspect . Also my home is my gas station is so convenient and cheap with solar. I had a bmw, fun to drive but got really expensive to maintain, especially with multiple systems failing.

    Tesla Ninjas

    My 2017 x 100d has been fantastic. No issues with the fwd. I will keep forever, leather seats still look new. Only issue was yellow ring around mcu1, but I updated to mcu2 and no issues. Fantastic vehicle.

    We have a 1/18 m3lr, 70k and 80% is 241 miles Our 2017 x100d about same mileage , 90% 245 Not sure the range you desire, even newer ones probably less than 300 at 90%.

    Tesla Service Screwed up

    I have a 2017 x, I bought fsd when they had a fire sale. They upgraded my computer to hw3, and replaced all my cameras. Fsd works great, as good as my 2023 y

    model x 2017 FSD upgrade

    I have a 2017 x. I bought fsd years ago. To make it functional, all the cameras had to be replaced. I payed for Mcu1-mcu2. Also hw3 was installed. I think fsd is amazing to watch, but still needs to be watched like a hawk.

    FSD AND FUSC Transfer Offer this Quarter?

    They texted me, only offered fsd transfer. Don’t want to give up free supercharge
  14. Sandiegodoug

    Changing from a Y to X, regrets?

    I have both vehicles. X is definitely a more comfortable car/suspension, but it’s bigger, feels bigger driving it. My performance y definitely more fun to drive, fits in parking spaces better, but definitely a more jarring suspension.

    Got pulled over today for having temp tag on back windshield

    I might have to order one of those for my y, since it runs completely off my solar panels

    Looking at used Model X’s, looking for opinions / advice

    Yes They replaced all of my cameras. Only issue I have is they are black now, instead of chrome

    Looking at used Model X’s, looking for opinions / advice

    Definitely get the 100d. Good family car. Our 6/17 100d has real leather vs new pleather. It’s plenty fast. I updated to mcu2 hw3, much better.

    Water leaking through roof via falcon doors

    Ours is 6 1/2 years old, never noticed any leaking. Maybe you should make appointment, have seals replaced.

    My understanding is hardware 4 has a radar My 2023 y has vision only.

    2020 Model X vs 2023 Model Y

    We have a 2017 x and a 2023 y. X much nicer car and ride. Mine is performance y So a blast to drive but x definitely more comfortable.
  23. Sandiegodoug

    Model X 6 seater or......

    White is a good choice, our 6 1/2 year old white x still looks new. We have black interior but it’s leather. Fake leather in our 6 year old 3 holding up well.
  24. Sandiegodoug

    Model X 6 seater or......

    If buying used, I’d look for a lease return vs buying someone else’s lemon. Also I’d buy new vs 2023. At least you would get hardware 4 and radar.

    Model X 6 seater or......

    We’ve had ours 61/2 years. Main reason is that you can’t roll them, unlike all other suv. No maintenance and the gas station is in my garage

    Help me with Pre-Refresh MX Models

    We compared both, the leather was more supportive plus the cloth seats felt like the ones in my 2004 Tacoma. After 61/2 years, still look new.

    Help me with Pre-Refresh MX Models

    I think so, all I know, when we picked up our x, in mid June, we were told you got last of leather, which I payed extra for. Other option was cloth, which was awful.

    Help me with Pre-Refresh MX Models

    Tesla eliminated leather option in 7/17. We have a 6/17 with leather option. I like leather better than the vegan option.

    Real experience

    We’ve had our x100d since 6/17. Fantastic car, almost no issues with it. Still an absolute joy to drive. I have fsd and it works amazingly well. The stereo is still a joy to listen to. The car feels light years ahead of any other boxy 6 passenger suv on the road. Mine has real leather and after...

    Second hand Model X 60D

    We have a 6/17 x100d. If I don’t speed and temperature is mild , I can get the rated range. I think 330. I thought transferable free supercharge ended in January/17, but maybe in Europe it’s different. I know ours is not.

    When was the cabin camera added to Model X?

    I skipped the warentee. It was 5500 for 4 years It’s been 2 years so far and not a dime into the car. Mine has 64,000. I put the 5500 into an account that earns interest. I’m planning keeping car at least another 8 years and happy with current configuration. I figured if car is trouble free...

    When was the cabin camera added to Model X?

    Our older x is a much nicer car than our new y. Fsd works ok on old x. I didn’t pony up the 15k for new y fsd since old x will still be our travel vehicle.
  35. Sandiegodoug

    High milage owners here?

    6/17 , 63,000, been pretty perfect, will keep at least another 6 years. Have a new performance y, fun to drive but old x superior ride and comfort.

    I didn’t think Tesla did leather anymore. All are vegan

    Should I sell my 2016 Model X 90D

    I’d probably keep it. Good back up vehicle incase something happens to 2018.

    When was the cabin camera added to Model X?

    I have a 2017 with fsd and hw3, and I worry that when they roll out true hand free, only cars with cameras will get the update and our older camera less cars will always need a slight pressure on steering wheel
  45. Sandiegodoug

    2016 Model X; possible to upgrade to FSD?

    If it’s a private party sale free supercharge should transfer. I think you can update the mcu to get a faster unit (mcu-2). I’m not sure when fsd changed. If it had hardwhere 1, don’t think upgrade possible. If it just has a chrome piece above each wheel well, not upgradable, but if has cameras...

    how to convince wife to approve getting a model X?

    We bought because of safety. At the time , only suv that would not roll in an emergency. Also, car is a tank. Odds are you will survive a crash, not necessarily the car that hit you.

    2016 MX high beams gradually turn on?
