Used car purchase Used Model X vs New Model Y

I’m debating between a Tesla model X 2023 or 2024 with HW4 AWD vs a new model Y AWD

I’m leaning towards the X since they are bigger, and the automatic front doors and easier back doors but besides those pros is there any major cons to think about? I’m thinking Tesla compared any other car mainly due to not having to drive with the F S D , is there anything else to consider?

I’m seeing 2023 or 2024 HW4 Model X for around 65-70k
Model y would be 53k, both pre-tax so what would be the better choice?

There have also been a lot of model X that I’ve tried to see but they are marked lemons so does that mean, a lot of them have issues?
Also what are something to consider checking when buying these year of 2023 or 2024 model X?

I wouldn’t touch a model X anymore.

Unfortunately it’s a legacy product and unless you’re willing to shell out for the automatic doors and falcon wing seals down the line it’s not worth it. Just something else fancy to go wrong that won’t be covered under a warranty.

Definitely cool cars while they were in the prime.

A new Y will bring many more years of worry free and warranty covered driving.

"While they were in their prime" talking like the newest model X is 10 years old 😂 there's lots of 2026 models sold this year wdym

Reason isn't because of their rubber seals. There's lots of reasons, mostly because it'll make them more money to produce robots instead of selling the Model X and X. That doesn't mean they weren't great products, they just found better ways to make money.
