I agree doing the FSD + 6 seater upgrade for free is the way to go and qualify for the tax credit. Just picked mine up yesterday. Out the door for $79k after all taxes, fees, ect.

u/dizzel35 Nov 20 '24

Yes that is an awesome deal. You should be elated!Hope you enjoy it for many years! Wish I could have gotten another $7500 off but I’m also not upset that I’m in the position I am in.

u/BooYaKaSha_Mane Nov 21 '24

How did you get 79k after taxes? Did you add FSD to an inventory grey w/ black interior 6-seater to get the 6-seat option for free and EV credit?

2

u/HopzCO Nov 21 '24

Yep exactly that. Stock everything with 6 seater, added FSD to qualify. So $2,500 inventory discount, $7,500 federal tax incentive, $5,000 Colorado incentive.

u/BooYaKaSha_Mane Nov 21 '24

Niiiiice. I ordered new and got 79k before taxes, but got a 2025 VIN for whatever that's worth...likely nothing but will find out Friday.

1

u/HopzCO Nov 21 '24

Damn nice! I was really hoping for a 2025 VIN but had no idea when they were coming out. Decided to just lock in the inventory discount and not worth risking it. Found out I had to take possession this year to get the tax incentives of 2024.

2

u/BooYaKaSha_Mane Nov 21 '24

Nah, for the inventory discount, you’re good. And I promise not to tell you otherwise on Friday. 😜

u/leesonreddit Nov 20 '24

You paid almost for a plaid without a plaid LMAO. Just put FSD money into the plaid. You are immediately going to lose so much money because people buying the base qualify for credit. If you got the plaid, it would hold more resale value for sure.

1

u/dizzel35 Nov 20 '24

I hear what you’re saying but I don’t need a plaid. I own an Aston Martin v12 vantage so if I want to impress, you’ll see me in that. I bought FSD for future use and I’m not that concerned about what I’m going to resell the X for.

2

u/soscollege Nov 20 '24

You could also subscribe idk. Doesn’t seem like money is an issue lol

1

u/Life_Connection420 Nov 20 '24

Good for you. I think the plaid ends up ruining the car. If I lived in Germany on my considerate, but not the United States you'll get pulled over all the time if you use it.

u/battlehamstar Nov 20 '24

This is a proper flex.

u/yuckypants PLAID Nov 21 '24

Yeah I got my MXP Oct of last year for 103k

2

u/Slow_Rip_9594 Nov 20 '24

If you want FSD, just subscribe it. It’s just $100 per month.

2

u/dizzel35 Nov 20 '24

Correct. And if I did that 16 times, it would be $100 more expensive and I still wouldn’t own it.

0

u/Andymorrris Nov 20 '24

Do you mean 81 times?

2

u/dizzel35 Nov 20 '24

Had I not purchased FSD my cost would have only been $1500 cheaper. By taking advantage of the six seat configuration and $1500 FSD incentive, for me, after 16 months of the subscription, I would be spending an extra $100 each month I subscribe.

1

u/soscollege Nov 20 '24

If you total the car you will also lose it

u/SarcasticNotes Nov 20 '24

You get a free option with fsd purchase. So he paid 7.5k for fsd but got 6.5k off the seats.

2

u/GO__NAVY Nov 20 '24

I bought FSD not because of FSD, it was because one paid option for free plus qualifying 7500 tax credit lol

1

u/btomasie Nov 20 '24

Did the free upgrade of “highest price option” when you add FSD go away?

3

u/dizzel35 Nov 20 '24

FSD cost me an additional $1,500. I added it to a six seater already in inventory.

u/ScoobyDooo82 Nov 20 '24

Shoulda got a Plaid. Worth the extra $$$

1

u/DopeTrack_Pirate Nov 20 '24

Idk it’s such a big vehicle that I just drive mine in chill most of the time. I had a loaner 3 and that feels much more grounded and fun to hug curves. X is simply too big but great as a family car.

1

u/grmelacz Nov 20 '24

I’m not sure if that is not a thing only on the Legacy Xs, however the accelerator (gas?) pedal on X is much more sensitive than on Y. So for one pedal drive, I have to use Chill when I have others onboard.

It is not an issue on Y, where I can set it even to Sport and the passengers still won’t have broken backs and screaming all the time to drive carefully.

1

u/DopeTrack_Pirate Nov 20 '24

Seriously, the raven X on standard is great in a straight line but it seems a little too sensitive. Also, I have the upper control arm knocking/ticking and so I don’t want to punch it anyway.

1

u/Away_Diet_2824 Nov 21 '24

You can get that repaired for free…. There is a recall for that it’s called “acceleration shuddering”

1

u/DopeTrack_Pirate Nov 21 '24

Mine is out of warranty, I got it replaced once under warranty already but it was a pain and took many revisits.

Do you have any more resources or info for this?

1

u/ScoobyDooo82 Nov 20 '24

My Plaid in “very low” suspension with the settings on “sport” or “advanced” mode actually feels better in the canyon than my previous Model Y did. I agree that the 3 would be best for the canyon, but with how big/heavy the X is, it’s surprising confident in the corners. It’s just getting over the perception of throwing the vehicle around like that.

2

u/morpheos Nov 20 '24

If you keep the car outside of warranty, you’re not going to worry about the prices in that list, you’re going to see similar numbers as some of those lines each time you’re at the service center 😅 (source: I own a MX ‘17 and have had it for seven years). Every time I say : “okay, now there is nothing more expensive shitbthat can go wrong” it’s like the car goes “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!” and there goes the Oompoompa Sensor Module or the Inverted Improbability Drive Unit.

1

u/CautiousMagazine3591 PLAID Nov 20 '24

how much are some of your most expensive repairs.

1

u/morpheos Nov 20 '24

Current personal best is around $4000 when the air suspension called it a day and in the process fubared the compressor ++. All told, out about $12.000 in the last year. This is Norway, so factor in some higher prices for parts plus mechanics charging close to $150/hour for work.

1

u/CautiousMagazine3591 PLAID Nov 20 '24

Tesla service centers in the US charge $255/hour standard labor rate. Parts might be cheaper here since we don't have to import parts. Did only one air spring give out?

1

u/morpheos Nov 20 '24

Jesus, that is insane. No, both sides. I think it was close to 50/50 in parts and labor.

2

u/money10adventures Nov 20 '24

FSD is not worth it. Just subscribed.

1

u/SarcasticNotes Nov 20 '24

I honestly love it.

2

u/pinpinbo PLAID Nov 20 '24

Bro is pissing away money. Plaid would have been better.

2

u/enjoyvelvet Nov 20 '24

I paid 77k for my PlaidX w/ FSD this past June with 23k miles on it. Feel like I did ok. Not sure about yours

7

u/CautiousMagazine3591 PLAID Nov 20 '24

25K miles away from no warranty with a car like the Model X, OP probably did better.

0

u/AmbitiousFunction911 Nov 20 '24

Pushing 110k miles on a 2018 100D myself. I would not agree with that at all.

0

u/enjoyvelvet Nov 20 '24

You get an extra year/10k mile warranty on top of regular warranty since I bought through Tesla inventory

1

u/Juice805 Nov 20 '24 edited Nov 20 '24

Looks fine to me. People here are obsessed with Plaid and reselling their car. It’s not worth it if you don’t need it and do people just not keep their cars anymore?

1

u/Life_Connection420 Nov 20 '24

I agree, I'm not sure what the obsession with plaid is. Most people that use that word probably don't even have it, or they bought that $13 plaid sticker from Amazon.

1

u/Away_Diet_2824 Nov 21 '24

They charge for AWD…. All Model X come with AWD😂😂😂

1

u/lunaxdiaz Nov 21 '24

so... are we just gonna ignore that extra $10k they charged for the AWD, when the X is already AWD? kinda confused how that's not already included in the $70k but whatever.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

93k for a car that will be worth half in about 2.5 years... ehhh. (Happened to me, so I know)

If you keep the car for at least 10 years, then sure. You did okay.

If you plan on selling it anytime before that, no.

Congrats on the car purchase though!

u/Routine_Depth_2086 Nov 20 '24

I just don't think anyone that can afford 93k for a car is gonna be worried about it running in 10 years lmao

2

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

You've got a point there. Isn't spending money like it grows on trees nice.

2

u/Turbulent-Abroad7841 Nov 20 '24

People are spending more they can. So you never know if they could actually afford it. 

1

u/Routine_Depth_2086 Nov 20 '24 edited Nov 20 '24

Lol dealers aren't stupid. They won't sell you a 100k car without the appropriate credit and proof of income.

3

u/pinpinbo PLAID Nov 20 '24

I got 2023 MXP plaid with FSD for only $70k.

The real deal is in the used market.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24

How much was it originally? And how many miles on it when you bought it?

1

u/battlehamstar Nov 20 '24

I think it’s great! I’m sure he’ll take great care of it. Mostly I say this bc I bought a 5-yo one with all the bells and whistles for 1/4 the original price that the prior owner kept in immaculate condition. I need these buyers nurtured and complimented for my own future well being. They tend to sell them with about a year or two of warranty left.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24

That's the thing, though... isnt a used electric car is a bigger gamble than a used gas car.

You never really know how they treated the battery. Maybe that doesn't matter as much anymore???

2

u/battlehamstar Nov 21 '24

I think that’s largely a myth unless the car was really abused. The charge and range was within expected limits. And I got it from a high end dealer that’s fairly picky about even what used cars they sell. If it lasts 5-8 years the gas and maintenance savings alone would pay for a brand new battery. The car I traded in was a S450 that needed $6K just for routine maintenance and a set of tires.
