ONE CLEAR WINNER! TESLA MODEL Y VS MODEL X 2024

EV Channels Review

The reviewer compares the Tesla Model Y and Model X in 2024, concluding that the Model Y is the clear winner in terms of value, despite the Model X offering more luxury and unique features. The Model Y's significantly lower price point, starting around $44,000 for the RWD base model up to $53,000 for the performance variant, is highlighted, especially with the availability of the $7,500 federal tax credit as a point-of-sale discount. The Model X, starting just under $80,000 for the Long Range and $95,000 for the Plaid, is deemed not to offer double the value. While the Model X boasts features like Falcon Wing doors, a larger display, a driver's display, and optional air suspension, the reviewer notes potential reliability issues with the Falcon Wing doors and finds the motorized front doors cumbersome. The Model Y is praised for its ample space, versatility with its hatchback design, and comfortable ride, though it lacks the premium features of the Model X. A key takeaway is the anticipation of the 'Juniper' refresh for the Model Y, which is expected to incorporate many of the Model X's creature comforts, further solidifying its superior value proposition. The reviewer advises waiting for this refresh if purchasing a Model Y.
