Hello Folks,

I have an Model X order and VIN Got assigned just two days back.

My Model X costs me around 91k including six seats and Yolk before EV Credits and Business usage claim ( Purchased for Business). While I was waiting for my X I was able to find a Certified BMW 2023 X7 that has 10k miles and optional features that can cost you 110k today if you buy new. It also qualifies for business usage not for EV Credit though.its costing around 89k.

If you are in my scenario what would you choose? I think both are still good deals.

    These two cars have absolutely nothing in common aside from 4 wheels and the letter “X”.

    If having an EV and/or being a fan of Elon are the most important things to you, get the Tesla - otherwise it’s not even close.

    I’m guessing since you’re considering both, you haven’t test driven each of them. You should do that.

      👆 Teslas are cool, until you get up close. And especially when you drive one. There is absolutely no comparison between these two. Maybe an argument can be made between a base model X3 and a Model 3… but a loaded X7? Two different worlds.

        A good friend of mine has a Model Y, and the fit and finish, as well as the quality of the materials is wholly underwhelming and makes me feel that Teslas are massively overpriced. And other than the acceleration and self-driving, I prefer my 15-year-old E91.

        Another friend has a Polestar, and that, on the other hand, feels like an actual luxury car worthy of the price tag.

          Teslas have one of the highest profit margins per vehicle sold, and why elon has been constantly doing cost reductions to ensure market share

        X3 is a SUV while a Model 3 is a small sedan, how do you compare the two? You mean maybe a base 3 series vs Model 3, or even a 4 door 2 series?
