Is it worth buying brand new MODEL "Y" or pre-owned Model "X" for a single family of 4; budget around $40-60K range?

For 60K or less get the Y. Any X you get for that will be lacking features and/or already having problems
Owning a 3 and an X... I can say with some certainty: the Y will be better put together. Get updates more often, and feel more solid. Of course, given the newness of the Y, I'd hold off a few months if you can while they work out the bugs. I like my X, and LOVE, love, LOVE (did I say love?) the Raven air suspension that was 75% of the reason for purchase... but I'd wager bang for your buck... get the Y. If you're old at heart like me and want to ride a couch everywhere - the X will do that, but expect more overall feelings of a car loosely held together with bubble gum and hope. (and mine is a 2019). The 3 just feels more solid - and I expect that to translate over to the Y. If you could put the suspension from the X on the Y... you'd have me sold. Of course I'd miss the auto doors, but I'd live. Also if you're into status symbols, the X is cool. if not, then no points for that. Also, check your insurance rates on both before committing. Just adding a data point. I expect some flames from X owners. But deal with it. It's a $80k car with the fit/finish slightly below a Honda. It's fun, and I still like it, but my 3 was better put together, without a doubt. I've personally had a S, 3, and X. so... it's not like I'm winging it with my impressions. (Among other cars).
Agreed. We have a 3 and X. If you are getting a 5 seater X used, i would go with the Y instead new. Without a doubt. The X is an amazing vehicle, but too expensive and getting it used is not worth it when compared to the Y in my opinion. Plus you can probably pick up maybe a Performance Y, which will be loads of fun.For your family size and budget get the Y.. better range and new technology..
