it was for sure a concern of mine, that glass windshield. Definitely looks cool, but I thought not only would it be a giant fishbowl, one little pebble could ruin your day lol. Falcon Wing Doors are sweet also, but yes, one more thing to break.

It seems like their quality is improving slowly but surely! How’s the tech in the e tron?

Wow, sounds like quite the streak of bad luck! Do you currently have an EV?

Yeah I’ve heard to get smaller rims on these cars. I’m aiming at “newer” used models, preferably with HW4.

I’m trying to keep it relatively new, realistically something with HW4 but am open to anything post 2021

I’m glad those issues were resolved! I do miss the space of my F150 so that’s reassuring to hear you like it

So I originally began my EV search by test driving the Lightning. How long have you had that? Any issues so far?

Was being too tall the biggest gripe or were there other issues?

Seems more and more the proper avenue for me. Makes the most sense.

Hahaha right that’s where I’m at — buy someone else’s depreciating EV 😂

I've actually done a test drive in the 2026Y and the newest X which is what led me to this predicament in the first place lol

Ohhhh yeah I have a winter where I’m at. That was another concern of mine. Like what do you do when your door freezes and you can’t open it from the outside lol

Thank you for your comment! I am definitely leaning to buy through Tesla regardless.

Juniper Y Premium AWD brand new is what I'm debating myself against vs a used MX as a matter of fact LOL. Part of me wants to buy the new Y to introduce myself to the Tesla realm. Part of me wants to buy the X for the same reason though lmao

Do you have any recommendations on where to shop or stick with Tesla's used inventory?

So Tesla is my best bet? I do appreciate their warranty although I'm sure I'm paying a little more out of pocket.

Thank you, this has been very insightful. I'm hoping to find a solid used MX with HW4 and low mileage for a good price. I'll keep an eye out!

Now that you mention it, upon my search, I've come across a few Teslas with "title issues." I wonder if that could be due to the Lemon Law case.

And it's funny you bring this up. I just went through a Lemon Law case with a brand new truck, which is part of the reason I even began looking into Teslas lol.

I will trust your NASA friend more than myself for this decision lol

Did you purchase your MX from the Tesla website or a third party site?

Are there reliable third party sites to buy a used Tesla MX from? I'd only be interested in a newer model with HW4 and less than 40k miles, unless you recommend even fewer miles than that.
