    Which one is the new one, the y?

    so the x is a bit bigger and way more expensive?

    it seems like the 3 and the y are the best value Teslas.

    i heard if there's any part that needs to be replaced on a tesla, expect a long ass wait, like at least a month or 2.

    Sorry no X though.

    Which ones do you have? I'm open to Model S, but 3 is too small. I can tax deduct the X because of the weight so thinking about going that route. Too impatient to wait for the Cybertruck

    I have a model X. It is the perfect baby transporter with the falcon doors. Super easy loading/unloading from car seat. I would totally buy another one.

    Y, 3 way too small.

    I've had a Y for 5-6 weeks now. We've got 3 kids, 9 yo, 7 yo in a booster, 4 yo in a car seat. All fit fine in the second row. Tons of storage in the car w the trunk, under trunk space and frunk. I love it so far.

    I should have also mentioned I am 6’3”. Makes the space behind my seat very narrow.

    Model S is their in between mid size and full size sedan model.
    Model 3 is their in between compact and mid-size sedan model.
    Model X is their SUV model.
    Model Y is their Crossover model.

    I don't know if X and Y are the built on the same platforms as the S and 3 respectively, but their lengths are similar in that order.

    I think buying a used 4 year old Model X is a good deal. You can always get a battery replaced a few years earlier. Plus by then there will be advancements in battery tech.

    I'm thinking about it, vs. the Model Y (for smaller European garages and narrower streets)

    I can't tax deduct the Y under my LLC, only the X and Cybertruck qualify I believe. Though the Y looks nice too.

    I don't understand why the X isn't more popular. I see 2-3 Model 3's each day. Model X way more practical and not nearly as butt ugly.

    Don't get those 22" wheels tho.
