    refreshed model X dual motor long range competitions for >100K budget?

    MXP owner here, purely personal (I'll post a separate review shortly) but after owning it for 2.5 months, it is a great car but there are plenty of competitors who will offer a better build/ride for less. i.e. to me it's not worth the $126k (what I paid for it) or the $140k (today's price) and...

    Center console for my Plaid X?

    Looking for this as well - kids complain there is no armrest anywhere so for long trips, it's not the most ideal seating position for comfort.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Hi all - will post pictures later, but ordered in March with an October EDD, and got a surprise 2 weeks ago with a 6/10-6/14 EDD (eventually 6/17 schedule pick up). VIN 342XXX, but it has the tilt screen and new Plaid sign with a build date of May 11 (i.e. it sat for a month somewhere). There...

    Tesla Trade in offer for my Model Y LR

    I have the 20" inductions - again purely personal but the 19" gemini's were very unattractive. Should have gone with aftermarket rims :) but won't have to mess with it as when the X arrives, we'll sell/trade the Y!

    Tesla Trade in offer for my Model Y LR

    Purely personal, it rides like a pile of bricks with wheels; the suspension is borderline-uncomfortable. No core issues around reliablity or fit & finish, it just feels like a bloated Model 3 with a noticeably-stiffer ride. Wife & I take our Model 3 when we can, so can't wait to get the X to...

    Tesla Trade in offer for my Model Y LR

    That's great to hear, thank you! I have a 2022 MYLR that my wife and I....dislike, thus our shift to the MX Plaid (also October). Surprised (happily) that Tesla offered so much, I think that is very reasonable especially after the trade-in tax credit (if that applies in your state). Thanks for...

    Why does Tesla suspension suck so bad?

    Hah yes - I've compared driving the MY is like sitting on a pile of bricks with wheels (I have the 20" inductions too). Selling it once we get (we hope) the MX. Our M3LR with 18" Aero wheels ride a LOT better. I wouldn't really explore upgrading the suspension, that's a lot of what-ifs - Ryan...

    Wife isn’t happy with MY (have 2), what options?

    Hey, first of all that is a solid offer (wife & I looking to sell our 22 MYLR white/white/inductions with 1k mile in a few months) I'll make sure to check out GMTV. What were the other offers from other places, if you don't mind sharing? For next car, I think Tesla's UI is among the best here...

    2 Model Y or Ioniq 5?

    Thanks for this feedback - my MYLR ride & suspension is, by far, it's weakest point. I've compared it to sitting on a pile of bricks with wheels. Due to the chip shortage, the 2022 Ioniq 5 & Kia EV6 have wired CarPlay but they are catching up and will offer wireless CarPlay in 2023...

    2 Model Y or Ioniq 5?

    In a perfect world - only GM's SuperCruise would beat it (drove a Caddy CT6 for work in 2019-2020 - truly hands free with no phantom braking) However, many are very close; IMHO Hyundai's Highway Driver Assist II (HDA II) system is very close; it'll change lanes for you without a $12k FSD...

    Has anyone sold their car through Driveway?

    Sold my M3SR+ to Driveway in Dec, it was a lengthy & manual process but overall was easy! It took them ~25 days from quote to pick up (I got paid around Day #13) but offer was legit, and higher than Carmax/Carvana/Vroom by $2k. Would use them again!

    Dealer markups drove me to buy a Tesla

    Great thread - got my M3SR+ in Aug 21 and wife liked EV's but it sat too low. We looked at the Mach E & ID4, dealers wouldn't even let us test drive. We rented a Mach E via Turo, liked it enough and dealer wanted $5k over MSRP. Ended up ordering a MYLR because of pricing transparency. Side...

    Model X Plaid -- What to do?!?

    I don't know what the Idaho vehicle registration policies are, but assuming it's cheaper/lower tax rate, I'd postpone the delivery OR register your MXP in Idaho with your new address (if you have it).

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Question 1: unfortunately purely luck of the draw, my previous EDD's have changed 20+ times and this is a Model X which is the rarest unicorn in the Tesla line-up Question 2: In the same boat as you, have a 22 MYLR I'll get rid of once my MX comes in. CarBuyerUSA will usually offer the highest...

    Can you explore a square setup with 255 or 265 width tires?
