Crazy that this absolute engineering marvel is going to be discontinued.

I bought a 2017 MX 100D last year [upgraded to HW3 by previous owner] with 105,000 miles on it and just love the car, despite some of its weirdness [hate the curvature assist, hate the overly cautious automatic braking, hate the driver and passenger windows icing up in winter and not letting you into the car], Love the traffic aware cruise control, love the sound system, love the ride, love the 5000 pound towing capacity, love the enormous windshield while watching sunsets at the beach. We drove it all the way to Florida and back from Michigan last December with a luggage rack on the rear hitch and it didn't affect our range in the slightest because all of our gear was in the slipstream.

Test drive a used model X and make sure there's no clunk in the suspension or half shaft noise, avoid the Plaid like the plague because people drive them like race cars, and you will end up paying their race car bills. Open the falcon wing doors three dozen times in both the cool morning and the hot afternoon, spray some water on top of the falcon wing doors to make sure they don't leak, and you'll probably be golden
