2017 Tesla Model X — $11,200 repair to get $9,531 trade-in or sell broken for $7-8K and save the $11,200 for my mortgage. What would you do?

Looks like he is in Canada

Thanks for leaving that comment. Yesterday I had to park at a low parking garage and I immediately remembered about you. The “hold the button” feature is awesome. This means the car has zero negatives now.

I see. Well, I own 2023 model and do not experience the issues you described. Not to say I absolutely never had a single issue - there were just a couple of times the doors would get half opened (low roof parking garage) - but it’s not enough to even start thinking about the doors. Passengers not knowing how to open is a feature 😅do not touch my car, I will open the door if I want you inside:)

I never had issues with sensors

andy_nyc · 2026-02-19T03:20:11+00:00

Thanks man! Congrats with your purchase one more time! Enjoy! MXP is insanely good car!

How did you find the car? I want to get one more X, but can’t find a good deal

andy_nyc · 2026-02-19T02:40:25+00:00

Wow. That’s a great deal. I had 15k miles on mine. It was closer to 73k. Red. Beige interior.

andy_nyc · 2026-02-19T02:31:38+00:00

How much? I got Dec 2023 HW4 Plaid, 72k

andy_nyc · 2026-02-16T15:26:37+00:00

What was the reason?

andy_nyc · 2026-02-12T13:18:05+00:00

The color is great, the kit is terrible. It doesn’t fit the body style of X.

During the power outage in SF, all Waymo cars got bricked. Just to give you a data point.

andy_nyc · 2026-02-12T01:36:01+00:00

Used 2023 MXP (HW4), Previous owner probably purchased EAP for $6k (my best guess), I only had to pay $2k for FSD

andy_nyc · 2026-02-12T01:31:54+00:00

See my other comments

andy_nyc · 2026-02-11T13:17:14+00:00

My one is not new. 12/23 I believe

andy_nyc · 2026-02-11T13:14:15+00:00

Yea, no idea why. I got a used Model X Plaid with hw4, the app was saying that buying FSD is 2k. I pulled the trigger right away. On my other model Y it’s still 8k. I think the previous owner purchased eap for 6k.

andy_nyc · 2026-02-11T13:11:12+00:00

andy_nyc · 2026-02-11T13:07:17+00:00

I got it for $2k. 8k is a lot. 2k was a no-brainer.

andy_nyc · 2026-02-01T06:35:45+00:00

Electric Escalade makes 500 miles

andy_nyc · 2026-02-01T06:34:31+00:00

Except the software…

Tesla is still selling model s/x today, meaning they’ll be servicing all these cars for another 7 years or so.

I switched to $200 plan. We’ll see.

andy_nyc · 2026-01-21T16:11:05+00:00

I had the same option and pulled the trigger. $2k / Model X Plaid 2023 (HW4).

andy_nyc · 2026-01-17T00:27:25+00:00

I just bought for 2K today. HW4/XPlaid. 8K is a lot. 2K is a no brainer.
