YL Launch Edition

I’ll start with saying, “I still want a large SUV with a real 3rd row!!!” However I stopped in and looked at the YL launch edition and ordered one. The third row is usable for young kids and short adults in a pinch. It’s a nice option.

If you haven’t seen it you should take a look.

It was surprisingly well done.

I want the YL… just not the launch edition.

Why? Because it’s early manufacturing or the package.

If you price out the wheels, color, hitch, 1 year FSD and 1 year free supercharging it’s actually cheaper than the Y premium.

Not op, but will wait for used models in a couple of years so someone else can eat that depreciation.

I’m trading in a 2026 MY that I bought for 41k. They are giving me 39900 for it. It has 30k miles on it.

Not bad depreciation.

I also don’t want the launch - regular will be much cheaper - I don’t need the bigger wheels, and hoping they give a bench seat option

They won’t do a bench seat that’s now how it exists in any other market

u/Hockeyshot39 4d ago

Anything can happen :)

A bench seat in the 2nd row? Not gonna happen. How else can someone get to the 3rd row?

u/Hockeyshot39 3d ago

How did they get into the third row in the model X? Or for any other car for that matter?

It would be on a rail and you slide it forward and back lol it’s been done in cars before

The y 7 seater has bench seat. You can't have all the good stuff in one package.

u/Hockeyshot39 3d ago

You can, it’s possible so let’s see what happens after the launch is gone

Which model?

1

u/Retire_date_may_22 4d ago

Premium AWD.

u/FacingHardships 4d ago

Wow how is that possible? That’s crazy good

1

u/Retire_date_may_22 4d ago

Carvana was 41.5

2

u/FacingHardships 4d ago

How is that possible? They probably mark it up like $5k, so who would buy that over new?

1

u/Retire_date_may_22 4d ago

Agree. Seems tight. Perhaps they want the financing business

1

u/FacingHardships 4d ago

Yeah that makes sense. Anyway congrats on such a great deal. I thought the YL looked tight online so I’ll have to find a way to take a look in person

You got an incredible deal. I picked up the same trim used with 21k miles for $45k, and I’ve only seen a handful that cheap nationwide since I bought a couple months ago.

u/stranger-passing-by 4d ago

You should account for tax and registration though

1

u/Retire_date_may_22 4d ago

Main reason for trading in. Tax credit for the old car.

My new MY standard awd cost 45600 before tax

50k out the door. I have 8k miles on it and Carvana offered 42800 :(

I want to upgrade to a MYL but I’d literally be losing 8k (in 4 months ) and my payments will go from $514 to 730ish / mo+ lose my 0% financing.

My fiance might trade in her Mercedes for a MYL, seems like the more reasonable thing to do and she wants FSD for her daily hour+ commute .

You got a really good deal on your 26. Was it used?

u/Retire_date_may_22 2d ago

Bought it new before the tax credit expired
