Six years with my Tesla Model X — and time for a new Tesla! ⚡️
I’ve had my 2020 Model X for six years, and it has been an incredible car. But with my new Model Y L on order, it was finally time to say goodbye to the X.
I decided to trade it directly through Tesla rather than deal with the hassle of selling it privately. The entire process was handled through the Tesla app.
I uploaded photos of my Model X, answered a few questions about the car, and Tesla offered me $32,000 for the trade-in, which I accepted.
From there, everything was surprisingly seamless. Once a VIN was assigned to my new Y L, the app prompted me to get insurance and upload the information. Tesla then provided the final amount due, I wired the money, and they scheduled the day for the swap.
And that was it.
See pics of the old Model X, followed by a video I took on the drive home in absolutely torrential rain. The Autopilot performance in conditions like that continues to amaze me.
And finally… the new Model Y L sitting in the driveway. 😎
