NEW TESLA MODEL Y VS MODEL X - WORTH PAYING DOUBLE?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer argues that despite its sporty, powerful, and luxurious appeal, the Tesla Model X is not worth the premium price for most buyers in 2024. While acknowledging the Model X's advantages like a more comfortable ride, spacious interior, dual screens, Falcon Wing doors, and optional seating configurations, the reviewer highlights that these features do not justify the more than double cost compared to the Model Y. The Model Y is presented as the more sensible choice due to its significant cost savings, eligibility for tax credits, and upcoming "Juniper" refresh which is expected to incorporate features currently missing. The Model X, particularly in its Plaid trim, is criticized for lacking modern amenities like RGB ambient lighting and steer-by-wire, and for not feeling sufficiently differentiated from the Model Y to warrant the price gap. The reviewer concludes that the Model X feels like a "forgotten Tesla" and may be surpassed by the refreshed Model Y, making the Model Y the recommended purchase for the majority of consumers.
