TESLA MODEL Y VS. MODEL X... An Opinion From Someone Who Owns BOTH!

What's up guys? They asked for it in today's video. Let's compare

model

X with

model

Y. Stay tuned for the certificate. Here we have model X and model Y. The biggest question I've gotten on Twitter and YouTube is how? I like the Y model versus our X model and how they compare. It's a little bit, you know, two completely different animals in a sense, but they compare very well and my question is how much will the Y cannibalize the model? Sales You know, y versus First I love that pop-up hatch, so I'm going to measure right down the middle to where the lip is, where the rubber gasket is, where it closes.

I think that would give us a good idea. I'm 46 and a half inches, from the back of the seat to this rubber seal, that's forty-six and a half inches, then we'll go from side to side, let's do the bottom type of the bottom area first, I would say. 40 inches, so 40 inches wide here now, this is the area I'm interested in. It looks like it opens up a little bit more here, so it definitely opens up more, so we're probably looking at forty-two and three quarters, so 42 and three quarters on up. this, so I'm taking a look at the eggs, so here we have the X, a nice automatic hatch.

I don't know why I bingo all the way up. Oh, probably because my setups for my garage, so we'll go all the way. the back of the seat to the rubber gasket is 50 and 3/4 so 50 and 3/4 just from the front and then I knew it was going to be deeper this way. I wasn't sure how much, but it's definitely deeper there, so the bottom is 41 and a half, so 41 and a half at the bottom here and then up here, which is interesting, it's straighter. I think there's less space here compared to the Y, yeah, it's basically the same, I mean, 41 and a half. very close to the same, maybe 41 and a quarter, so it's very close, so I'll show those numbers on the screen here so we can compare.

The next question I often get is what is the seating position on the X versus the Y, how do they compare to ours? It's the X, does it sit higher? Does the Y sit higher or lower? So we'll answer that here is my sitting position in the X and I'm not going to put my foot on the brake because the door will close, so this is how I normally drive in the legs, it's usually pretty flat, now let's look at the Y, well, here's my sitting position on the y, it's very similar, I mean, just Sitting on one and then sitting on the other is very close, it may be a little bit more small a little bit lower, but as you can see, my legs are pretty flat, pretty easy, the seating position is very similar, so let's move on to the next thing.

Alright, what about the rear passengers? Here you go, so I have this seat pretty much ready where I would sit when driving it. I basically got out of it and went to the Y and then I came here and sat down so you can look I have a lot of leg room the Falcon wing doors are great though okay here's why the leg room It's almost exactly the same, honestly, it's almost exactly the same. I have this seat still in place from where I sat. I did it a while ago and the legroom is almost exactly the same so I'm not measuring it but just sitting in it you can see it's pretty much the same.

I think one thing people are going to ask is what is the dash like on the Model large screen on the right, while the model Y has only the 15-inch horizontal screen in the middle I will show you

both

here is the driving in the seating position how it looks from my driver profile how it would look outside in the Model X all here is the seating position in the Model view from Model the same position and you can see that there is no screen here, just that. Terrible Wood: That's about to go away here in the next week, but my view is basically the exact same position that I'm holding in the same position that I was on the Model X and there you have the horizontal screen. yeah, I'm in the car, I'm in the model, why and what you just saw was outside the glass roof and I think this is going to be one of the biggest advantages of the Y versus the Model X in my

opinion

and it's going to It will be very difficult to show it to you, but the view from the back is absolutely incredible on the model.

And let me see if I can show it to you so you can see that the glass roof is huge on this car. You see my house back there. I can see that there is no pillar in the middle of the glass, it's just a huge piece of glass and it's amazing, so that view is definitely a plus on the Model Y, so here we are on the Model The difference you can see, this piece here restricts your view. Yes, you have these smaller windows here on each side, but it definitely restricts your view compared to the model.

And let me try to get a panoramic type photo where I can show you the view, so by far one of the biggest advantages of the Model . It's a really nice view and that's one of the advantages of the Model It's an incredibly cool feature, but also One of the things that drove me and my wife crazy is that they have kids, and while they're really nice about being able to take the kids in and out, it's great because the problem is that when they Kids get a little older and can start operating the Falcon wing doors, they don't really pay attention when they close or open the doors and a lot of times if you leave or enter at the same time the door doesn't always do it.

I see you and we've had a couple of tough situations so let me show you what happened or what can happen if I'm not sure I can do it here with a one man team but basically this is what can happen. If it happens, I'm going to start closing the door and then try to get in through the driver's side door like this, you have to get out of the way, so the other thing that can happen is this: I'm going to try to open the door when I get out and then Of course, sometimes the door doesn't open all the way and you have to dodge around it, so it's a little annoying, they're great, but is it worth the money versus the Why I don't know, we'll keep talking about it.

One of the other problems we have had with the Model X Falcon wing doors is that they rub and we have had this problem and I have had two different service centers. At that we had the one in Fresno look at it and they fixed it right, they didn't but they sent it to a body shop to fix it and then when we moved to Tennessee we had another Tesla service center that isn't Again I went to the service center, it was a body shop and they tried to repair it. We still haven't sent an email to fix it.

They say they are supposedly better on the newer models, but I am hearing about the service and just talked to

someone

today. which are always a problem and let me show you what I'm talking about so if you go down here on the pillar this is where they want to rub and then sometimes they will rub here our thing is not rubbing there but it's definitely rubbing there same, let me show you the other side, so here is the other side and you can't rub it, it's scratching the paint and then the other problem is right there in the same place, I don't know if you can see it on the camera, but it's there , so one of the ways they fix it is they basically take it, put a clear film, basically PPF, over the spots that get rubbed in and then when it gets rubbed in, it finally gets rubbed in and they hope to replace the PPF right there before it rub and touch the paint, that's not a great option for me.

I don't want to have to watch my doors all the time to make sure they don't rub. It should not be like that. It's kind of a shame we don't like the Model That is the question facing the model and. Okay, so let's go. take a look at the front space, of course the Model I don't know how much it is in cubic feet, but basically to me it just looks wider, let's take a look, so there's the Model X Franck, it just looks wider if you cut it right here. I would say on

both

sides it is about the size of the model Y, so it is very close, not a huge difference, but it is larger.

Although it's not deeper, it's just wider, okay, so let's take a look at the Y model. Now let's look at that well and there's a lot of Y, so the X extends here closer to the lights, it's basically What I'm saying is that it extends this way, but in terms of depth it's very close, I'm referring to the Y Mara model. Sorry the model Well, maybe if you're putting puppies in the front, Earl, other than that, I don't know if you know if it's a deal breaker, one front is bigger than the other, but you know it's just information for you guys, so let's take a look. look at the styling of each of these cars, as you can see the model Y has very similar styling to the model 3 and of course the model model why it is and me.

I've heard this mentioned before model, why is it pretty much if you take a model three and a model it has the the the slope and the way the rear end is on the Model X and you can see that if you removed the spoiler on the Model it looks like the model I drove it today for about 30 minutes on Highway X, it was an hour in total. I drove it on the road and from

someone

who has owned both cars and is very used to driving the Let's talk about the details of each and let me give you the owner's perspective on driving both cars.

Let's go inside, okay, inside, it's a lot cooler in here, so you're probably wondering: are we keeping the Model X and Model Y? the answer is no, we are going back to the Model X, the Model X is a lease and when we started leasing the Model X's lease is up and the reason we're returning it is because the Model months and we also don't want to have to pay California to re-register in California. It is currently registered in Nashville and Tennessee and has to have current registration to be able to return it and we don't want to pay. registration and then keep it for a couple more months and then return it and that doesn't make sense to us so we'll pay from now on.

I've talked to Tesla and basically if you pay for the remaining months you can come back. that and that's it, it didn't seem like they were really willing to work with us or anything so as of now that's the plan we're going to pay for, hopefully in the next few weeks we'll pay it back. I wanted to make sure I finished this video and that's one of the reasons I wanted to keep it and I haven't really pushed it yet, so here's the million dollar question, if we were buying a car right now, would we buy it? a Model similar, as you saw, there is not enough difference. for us to make a difference the area I didn't show the area under the trunk the lower trunk is almost as big as the Model two things are very similar, the seating position is very similar,as the boys also saw, so when driving it, for me the model, the model and, is more comfortable.

I like the seats of the model and the previous ones better. The Model X is simply more comfortable. I once sat in a Model S and we actually had one for a week when we were getting service on one of my first Model threes and I hated it. I don't like the Model S and Model X seats, I just don't know, I just I don't like how they feel. I really like the Model 3, so the seats are exactly the same as the previous model. he told me it's super comfortable, it's actually a more comfortable version of a Model 3, so with us there's not enough difference to justify the $30,000 difference we had the option to buy our Model X, we were able to buy our action model what we have. about 33,000 miles it's a 2017 but it has the older MCU, we don't have the games, a lot of the games we don't have dash cam, we don't have Netflix and all that kind of stuff and it's a 2017 but we were able to buy it after end the lease for $70,000.

We paid a little over fifty thousand for the model, why that's a big difference on a used Model new model why with all the features it has so even just buying a used Model and he likes the shown behind us behind the wheel, but the main reason he likes the model is the right quality, which is why the Model X has air suspension. Model Y writes very similar to Model three. They are very, very similar. There is a little more bodywork. It rolls but drives very similar to the model three, so the Model X definitely drives better.

Are you thirty thousand dollars apart? I don't think so and neither does my wife, which is why we made the decision to buy the Model Y instead of buying a new Model X or buying our minimum Model X, so that's our thought process. I just, to me, don't think there's enough difference between those two cars to justify the cost difference - the Falcon and Model X wing doors are great. Hank, yeah, they're cool, I mean the whole Christmas way and you know, dancing and all that kind of stuff, it's cool, it's a party trick, but it's really cool, it's what Elon says, it's the egg of Fabergé vehicles, but here is my prediction. and I'm afraid to put this on YouTube.

Here is my prediction. I think model Y will sell a ton first, but I think model Y will eat a lot of the model's eggs. that I think they may stop producing the Model People I know in Fremont, always have problems with those Falcon wing doors that always rub, there's always a problem, they're very over-engineered and there's always something wrong, so I have a feeling that eventually, if sales keep going down, they'll get I'm tired of dealing with it and they just won't make X anymore and it will just be Y. I know it's a I have nothing to go by other than that.

I just have a feeling that in my experience being a former owner if you have the money for an ex model if money is not an option it's no big deal and it's surely a better car in many ways but most of the time people will see the price difference and I will watch videos like this and other videos on YouTube and see that the cars are not much different and unless they like the ex's styling better they are better than that why would that be a problem , but for us. my personal

opinion

, I would buy a model, why instead of a Model X right now?

That's it, if you want to leave some comments, I'll do my best to answer them. I appreciate you watching this video. I have other videos on the way. Upstairs, we're going to customize our model And, as you know, I always make my cars. If you go back and look at my older videos, I can never keep things in stock, so we're going to make some custom things for the model. Why, even if it's a man? It looks great as it is in stock. I mean, it looks fantastic as you can see in the video, but if you want to leave some comments below, I'll try to answer them and please hit that subscribe button and subscribe and share. and if you know anyone looking at a Model X or Romano, show them this video and that's it, see you in the next video, take care, peace.
