I have received a lot of questions asking my opinion on the Model X and the Model Y since we took delivery of our Model Y. So here are my thoughts on both vehicles. I know I probably left a lot of info out but I did try to hit the most important things and the questions that I get asked the most.
I hope you enjoy!

Many have asked about the measurements for the trunk in Model X versus Model Y. I did the length and width in the video but didn’t do the height. The height is almost identical at 27”! If you want to see the measurements, check my twitter feed. 👍
That's because he sucks at reviewing and describing cars. He needs to focus on his kids and family bc that whole video was awful
@@silvabullet13 Oh hush, it was a great video, really opened my eyes about the doors. Stop being a hater.
Buy a big bag of plastic balls that are used for children's play pits. Count the number that fit in frunks and trunks of X & Y. That will give you volume percentages.
This made it MUCH hard to justify getting an X or a used S.
Question about range of both vehicles
Summary: They are almost exactly the same, but the falcon wing doors are cool.... You're welcome.
no??
@@Ksubsbefore-qu3iv but kind of yes...
sanctred but kind of no...
They are not the same ... they ARE about the same size though. Model X is a nicer vehicle overall, no doubt.
Marc Benton The more expensive car is nicer? What a shocker
this is the most honest review of x and y in youtube as an owner!
Thank you! 🙏
I agree, very honest and clear review !
Model X is the one you want, Model Y is the one you can afford
I have drivin the model x and i think it has just too much bodyroll.. so i would rather have the model y than the model x
@@ame4195 Drive the P100D. Changing the wheels and tires make a big difference. It blew my mind how something so big and so heavy can feel so sporty.
Period
Nah. I can afford both. X just ain’t worth the money given how close the Y compares to the X.
@Marco Deo I did mention that it is "big" and "heavy" (it won't out turn a Miata in the tightest twists), but it is probably the best vehicle I can think of at that size of interior space and cargo room. It drives a lot better than one would expect, but don't expect a magic carpet ride; just a magical aspect of design and engineering for the weight and dimensions that it has to work with. If you want to go on a 90+ mph canyon twist, there are much smaller and lighter cars for that type of task; it shouldn't be any 7 seat vehicle.
Model X looks better from the front. Model Y looks better from the back.
very very true
I prefer the more minimalist look of the Y, the front of the X looks dated to me.
I disagree x looks Like a bug
Well you can always put a sticker or paint the front of model X so it would look like a model Y :D
@@ctuna2011 Y looks like a frog to me lol
For the international people around, 4:18 that gives: X Y Depth 128,91 118,11 Rear Bottom 105,41 101,60 Rear Top 105,41 108,59
Thank u, that was helpful
Thank you
I have ordered my Model Y and can't wait to get it soon! Model X is out of my price range but I think I only wanted it because of the wing doors 😜
I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some fantastic deals in Tesla Accessories on our eBay listing.
I think that some people want the X (in spite of cost) as it symbolizes ELITE and differentiates itself from the other models.
For me I’m planning to get an model y just for now then when I date a girl and she want to start a family with me then I will consider get the model x but plaid version and every option you can get

Thanks for Taking the time to do this, Marc, good stuff - appreciate the perspective on both! Looks like you put a lot of work into this, so ty again!
I agree with you, the price point of the model Y is better for most people and will be very popular.
I prefer the Model X. But it’s not worth paying the extra money when the Model Y is so similar.
@Comeonuseyourbrain Model Y is a drivers car. Model X is a passengers car.
I want the x but i would feel stupid not getting a Y performance for so much cheaper
Adjustable suspension and towing that's what makes the big difference.
@Comeonuseyourbrain the X is NOT a drivers car. And neither is the S. Driving those feels more like driving a landboat and cant be compared at all to i.e. a 3 or 5 series.
@Ayush Malpeddi i just want the useless falcon wing doors😂
i remember musk said it, he does not care S or X. His future is 3 and Y. This is aligned with his vision into the future, and I am glad he is not lost in his pursuit.
Love my 2020 Model X. It has the new, super comfy seats, free super charging for life, love the look of the "built-in" screen and no issues with rubbing of the Falcon Wing doors. Perhaps they've fixed that since 2017. I also love the air suspension on the X and being able to adjust it up or down with a touch on the screen. My favorite body style is the Model 3. Great video, though. Loved seeing a comparison. Thank you.
Sheril Bender they don’t offer free super charging for life anymore. So not really a selling point anymore.
Thank you for validating my thoughts as well. I just purchased the X and can't wait for delivery.
@@JonEpicLepic I pick up my new 2020 Model X Saturday, and it includes Free Supercharging. They have brought it back for existing inventory.
Same, got one from inventory with free supercharging. That said, had an S for three years with unlimited and it's really not that big a deal to pay for it on the rare occasions most will use it. No bad choices in the tesla lineup!
tommygirl20247 I leased mine through a business. Went with LR+ with the 22 wheels.
Great review! For the rest of the world: Model X: 129cm deep 105.5cm wide 105cm opening Model Y: 118cm deep 102cm wide 108,5cm opening
Good video. Only thing keeping me with the X is the number of people in our family. I need the bucket seats.
What's Inside? Thanks Dan, Yea that makes total sense. That’s a great point I should have mentioned in the video. The 6 or 7 seater X is going to be quite a bit bigger than the Model Y 7 seater because it’s longer. I’ll pin this comment, thanks for mentioning that.
Model X has bio-defense for the model why doesn't. Is this a feature any of you to use on the regular?
Definately a good point. For the money new, its a 30k dif, Used X might just be the toss up between a new Y or used X if you need a bit more room.
@@Euain I have a model s and the bio defense is just a second hepa filter. The first one will get 95% of pollutants and the 2nd 4.9% more. Your car will also use max fan to force air out of cabin.
Marc,dan isnt free supercharging a big deal in comparison X vs Y. X users are also getting free supercharging for life with 30k price difference
really down-to-earth comparison. You convinced me to look at the Y before going automatically going to the X.
You should go on Model X!
Thank you Marc for taking the time to put together this excellent, thorough and informative video. Keep up the good work.
It is great to see all of the solar panels on all of the roofs again The neighborhood you did the filming. My neighborhood has changed a little bit over the last few years and we're getting many more people going solar.
Excellent review. I really enjoyed it. A lot of other reviewers do not actually focus on these type of details.
Marc, as a former MX owner thinking about a Model Y (saw and sat in the first one today), this video was VERY helpful. Thanks for all the details!
A HUGE THANK YOU, for making this video. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. You have the keen ability to denote what’s actually important to showcase, plus you add just the right amount of narrative to accentuate a particular detail. BRAVO!
Thanks for watching!
The way you were able to articulate that was lowkey inspiring. i need to broaden my vocab 😂
great personal review with strait reasons. agree - model X is "death" bevor the Cyber comes out
Hey Marc, thanks for the comparison review! It was really helpful. I agree with you about the "wood". I can't wait to see your customizations.
Good day! I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some fantastic deals in Tesla Accessories on our eBay listing.
Thank you for taking the time and effort in showing all of this !
Really appreciated your comparison and especially your honesty. Thank you!
I've heard from several people who own both the X and Y, and they seem to always bring up a lot of issues with the X. The X might be a more "premium" car, but the Y seems to give you a much more pleasant ownership experience.
Thanks for pointing out that the Falcon Wng doors rub, I hadn't heard that before.
Great review! We really appreciate the honesty. We’ve been debating between the X and the Y for such a long time. Very helpful!
If you do not need the seating space get a Y. My husband just traded in his 3 (which was amazing) for a Y. The seating in the back of the Y is slightly bigger than the 3, I did not like how small the 3 was but it wasn’t our family vehicle. We will need an X because we need the seating, we have 4 kids, yes they just released a 7 seat Model Y but then you lose all trunk space and getting to the back will present a lot of issues and we do not need 2 Y’s! We LOVE the Y!

Really like the way you explained the issues with the door on model x and comparison of the seating positions and the sun roof. These are the things you wouldn’t know straight off just by viewing once , unless you use it in real life.
Great video, thanks for putting this together. Really surprised HOW similar they were on dimensions and such. Also, never thought of that Model X falcon wing door use case (operating while trying to get in/out front) but we have kids at the age you describe and that was a big Ah Ha moment for me. Thanks!
Thank you for the comparison video. It was very helpful. ! I’ve debated this very issue. I have been leaning towards the model Y and you’ve confirmed my thoughts!
I literally have been holding off on ordering my car for weeks! This video helped A LOT! Thx my man.
African-American, female, in the room. The great part as well is when the gas prices raise electric will be cheaper always. I adore ,Telsa! A long time ago, but I felt 2 years ago that there wasn't enough filling stations was one of the reasons I passed. Now, I love they are adding more and more in Malls and shopping centers and you can always use the home one. So, I might get a hybrid I like to have options
Great side by side comparison! Thank you for posting
Thank you very much for this clear video! I am from the Netherlands myself and many questions I had have been answered. Thanks again!
Very intuitive comparison. Thank you so much for your time. Super informative video. Love it and subscribed!
Our 2017 X is awesome. The doors don't rub. However the critique of door operation annoyances is spot on. The one thing keeping us in our X is the 6-seat configuration and the Y's lack of air suspension. If the Y got both of those, we'd order one right away.
You did an amazing job with this video great video very detailed thank you for giving us exactly what we were thinking we wanted to see. This will surely help people on the fence cause even I wanted to see a great detailed comparison. So thank you and great great job!
I'm sitting here like. This man has some money to have two teslas.
He has some bills/debt...
You can achieve the same in a couple years, not kidding, start out by reading some books about money and wealth so that you start understanding how money actually works ("Rich dad poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill etc.) then when you read those books and you understood them you need to work on your mindset, you need to learn how to "get shit done", this is the trickiest part, cus even reading a book is easy to do, BUT EVEN EASIER NOT TO DO, that's where your mindset comes into play. Don't focus on wanting money tomorrow, that's not happening, focus on having money next year, 2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now. You're going to be here 10 years from now, and you'd much better be wealthy than ending up thinking "oh, i should've listened to that guy on KZhead 10 years ago". A great book for this is "Psycho-cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz. When you know the basics of money and are mentally ready you need new knowledge, you need knowledge to start a business, online businesses like affiliate marketing, self publishing, dropshipping, consulting, SMMA, done-for-you services etc. require very small initial investments (like 2000 bucks is way more than enough, if you have more then you're going to see progress much more quickly, but don't use this as an excuse not to get started) and you can find great courses that teach you about these businesses (the guys in the ads who you probably think are scammers, some of them are tho, so only trust guys who prove you they know what they're talking about), just don't be cheap. These businesses are very very scalable (because online you don't have to pay rent for any location, you don't need employees, you basically have no costs except for a few tools and eventually ads depending on what business you start with, because being on the internet you have access to a huge amount of clients, so what you have to do is basically keep putting the money you make back into the business so that you keep making more and more and more (sounds easier than it is tho). Stop listening to other people, only listen to successful people, "other people" haven't done, are not doing and will never do anything with their lives, always been like that since the dawn of time and will always be like that, so why would you take advice from these people? Would you take nutrition and exercise advice from your skinny-fat friend or from a muscular and ripped guy? Remember one thing: success is the result of failing many times, more times than most people are willing to fail, if you fail all you have to do is try again, you only have to succeed once, doesn't matter how many failures you've gone through, the successful try is the only one that matters, if you never try or stop trying you will never succeed, and thus you have failed forever. Seriously man, go on Amazon and order those 3 books, no excuses, you definitely have like 40$ to spend on life changing books, 2 years from now, 5 years from now you'll thank me, just keep in mind there's no trick, it's a slow process, but doesn't take forever, sacrificing 2 years or so of your life to make the rest of it GREAT is totally worth it imo. The earlier you get started, the earlier you'll get there, as easy as that. You decide who you will be in the future, who you are today and the life you have is the result of the decisions and actions you took in the past, always be this brutal to yourself.
@@s_1408 way to assume.
@@remyd8767 nope. Just stating a possibly just like the OP did.
@@s_1408 fair
I love how this video matched exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much 🤙🏻
I own a Y and took it to Highway One Timber Cove over the weekend to get away from the East Bay heat (+100°!!!). What a fantastic road machine! All the curves, views, deceleration, acceleration, an incredible experience that totally took away my blues! Loving the view looking up! Just installed a removable sunshade to block intense sun, big improvement but miss that view! Need to glue in clips, too easily lost!
Appreciate your review on the two cars! Honest opinion that seems on point.
Thank you for this content I’m getting a model y within the next week or so and have been watching videos till it gets here haha
Thanks for showing both models, I was pretty confused but now I can definitely tell my hubby I want the Y mainly because of similarities with big price difference.
Thank You. Am going through this process right now. Definitely going Y.
Thank you so much, was really struggling to find a good comparison...you saved me $30,000!
Thanks Marc....Really helpful in making a decision to go either Model X or Y. Model Y it is! Look forward to seeing your custom work on the Y.
This side-by-side comparison is very helpful. Actual measurements is valuable, while styling is a matter of personal taste. One detail that's important to us (because we travel with older dogs who need to jump into the car) s the height of the hatch sill above the ground. Thanks for adding this dimension. I applaud your great camera work, sir. Very nicely done.

Thanks! I keep seeing you on Twitter great to see your KZhead channel. Thanks for sharing your personal experience
great job on posting the difference of the Y and X model. Love the gull wing doors but looks like trouble. Order the Y and excited to get it....
Thanks for a great comparison as I tormented over the choice and finally ordered a Model Y!
Probably THE most practical comparison of tesla cars i've seen on the internet. Kudos !!
Thank you for this very useful review! You basically answered all my questions! 👍
Thanks for this. I’m picking up my model y on the June 7th..
thanks for the video. very informative I heard a lot of complaints about the model x especially the falcon-wing doors and being in cold climates.
This is the most useful review of both cars. Thank you.
Thanks, Marc. This is so helpful. I went to see the Teslas today and was told that the Model X was a few months wait plus they didn't have one I could drive. I did drive a model Y and am considering it over the X after watching your video.
Great and informative review! Going to order the Y via lease while waiting on Cybertruck order. Thx!
Awesome Video Marc. You made it easier to Confirm Im making the right choice. I love my 75D MS, but I knew It would be replaced. We thought about getting an X but Im glad that for the money we are definately making the right choice. I cant wait to get my Model Y buddy🤙🏽
Thanks Marc. This is the honest opinion of the x & y that I was looking for.
Those were some great real life points about the falcon doors, never would have thought about that exiting the driver door as the passenger door is opening situation, very interesting. In a real life scenario if you have passengers in the back for a ride everyone opens doors at the same time once you arrive to your destination and park, i suppose the driver or passenger have to wait for one to open there door first, never thought about this. Thanks for sharing great points
So they made the X like the S And the Y like the 3 So now it's Bigger Stronger model S vs Bigger Stronger model 3
ACDC 😉
I thank you so sincerely, I have been on the fence and even renting cars because of indecision which you resolved for me!
Glad I could help!
Thanks brother. Great tips and information. Appreciate you taking the time to do that
Thank you so much for this comparison between these 2 great Tesla cars. It helped us decide which one to get. Y it is!
Thank you so much for this informative video! I am going to test drive the Y this coming week and honestly loved the overhead view. I thought I was more into the X, but assumed it had a similar overhead view as well before seeing the difference. Definitely gonna have some great questions to ask them when I go for a drive! 🙂

This has been an insanely helpful video. I can't even tell you how much I've been going back and forth between an X and a Y. The X new is just too damned much to feel good about, so was gonna do an X used, this comparison is EXACTLY what I needed.
Glad I could help Emma. Good luck with your decision! :)
which way did you go (X/Y) ? :)
I hope the issues are resolved quickly! These are amazing vehicles!
Detailed. Concise. Excellent review. Thank you!
I appreciate you taking your time to share this information.
I’ve just ordered the Model Y and waiting for the release date here in Norway. I currently have the Model 3 but wanted a bigger car. I’ve also considered buying a used Model X instead which sometimes has made me second guess my choice of buying the Y but this video really put things in perspective and was very helpful. Thanks!

Thank you Mark...that answered so questions for me. I appreciate your time.
Finally some good comparison video. 25 min of this video were worth more than 25 videos I watched on this topic before.
Appreciate the vid, answered a lot of my questions i had between the two.
Appreciated your comments. I’ve got a Model x with 3.0 software. Tight fit in the garage, which is a pain every day. Can’t get past its drive and performance, tho. I like the falcon wings, tho not essential. Still enjoy my short commute every day, hope to keep this for a decade. Nice review.
Good day! I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some fantastic deals in Tesla Accessories on our eBay listing.
Great video! You helped answer a lot of questions I had between the two models. I’m a fan!!! Big thumbs up!! 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thank you for your overview of both models. We took delivery of or Model Y Performancein Decebmer. After 3500 miles so far, we are happy with the car.
It's very interesting because it really shows how Tesla has thought about these 2 cars and how they can make it so that the Y won't necessarily eat into the sales of the X. Just with the little things you mentioned like the sunroof. It would be personal taste at that point.. which do you love more? The falcon wing doors or the sunroof? Both are really good selling points of the cars. The Y is really just a bigger version of the 3 much like the X is a bigger version of the S. A more apt comparison for the Model Y is the model 3 because it's that Model's potential customers that the Y is going to be hi-jacking. lol
Thanks for sharing, I just ordered model x. I like model Y window though
Best honest review. I agree with your prediction. Your video gave me confidence on my decision. I am getting the Y.
Thank you so much for your good explainations, Mr.Benton. It confirms what I really thought about Model Y.
Thank you sharing. In China the Model 3 has just realized localization. Model Y may takes at least 2 years.
Great video, been looking forward to this comparison since the Y was announced.
For the rubbing on the doors, you can get some tape on amazon for door sills that will work to prevent damage to your paint.
Thanks for the very honest, and personal experience review. Helpful. I am deciding on an X vx the Y. Regardless of cost. Your video was informative.
I'm currently driving my second Model S (got my first one in 2013). I definitely want a higher seating position. I would have bought a Model X, but opted for the S again because the X is too big (I live in Switzerland, very narrow streets and parking spots here). I'm more and more convinced that my next car will be a Model Y. Thank you for your video!

Hallo :) wie viel zahlst du effektiv um es zu laden?
this is what I called an in depth review....love it
Thank you for the side by side comparison. Many people have pointed out that the rear hatch on the model Y extends into what you could consider to be the the bumper area, but I didn't see it clearly until I saw your video. At 17:25 on your video, you see the difference between the models very clearly. I hope that Tesla can change the rear hatch of the model Y, so that it doesn't extend so low. A minor bump to the rear door would cause a very large repair bill.
Love the review my man. In case you didnt know you can put child safety locks on the x when you go into settings. So you can get out your car first and wont risk the falcon doors hitting you lol. Thanks for the review bro, keep up the good work🤙
I have model 3 that I like so much and thinking to swap it for the Y because of the space specially with the kids ect. thanks for the review mich appreciated👍
This video is amazing! No room for BS. Thanks for the info man
This is a really good comparison. Not the same boring stats but new information.
Great video Marc, well balanced and factual. I own a Model X and couldn’t be happier. I have not had any issues with the rubbing by the Falcon doors so far, had the car for 16 months now. The only issue is that tyre wear is about half of what other SUV’s will give. This is because they use 220 PLY tyres I’m told, also I hear the car applies a negative camber especially if using the Low suspension setting. However the tyre cost is offset by the fact that due to the regenerative braking, there should never be a need to replace the brake pads during the life of the car. I love the Tesla brand, on the list for the Cyber truck! Keep the videos coming Marc, awesome job!
I think your right about the eating the Y sells of the X. I think they will redesign the X as a full size suv after the cybertruck comes out. Imagine a 7 seater with 500 miles of range.
Randy Summers The model Y is for people who can’t afford to get the model X there’s a big difference between the two
sells of the X? Do you mean "sales"?
The X already is a full size SUV according to their website
NotRicky true but I’m thinking suburban size.
@@Eclipse3581 It costs several billion dollars to redesign a car, update the factories etc. Model S and Model X are not going to be changed at this point. However they could eventually be replaced by new models after some years. That said, Model 3 and Model Y will cover the needs of 95% of people, so there really isn't a need to add more models aside from Cybertruck, Semi, etc., which are totally different vehicle types.
Lol appreciate the actual enactment of getting in & out of the model X with the wings opening and closing at the same time. :)
This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for the great comparison! I have a Model X 2016 and my husband has a model 3 2019. My X is sooo comfortable and the ride is so smooth compared to the model 3. The drawbacks are I do not get Netflix and my range is only 200mi, which sucks on road trips! I do however, love my biohazard filter, which is not on the 3. And I transport many children so having seven seats in the X is critical for me. I look forward to trying the Model Y one day though....I love Tesla and can’t imagine owning any other car but one of Elon’s models because going to a gas station is crazy to me.... thanks again for your comparison it was help others choose what works best for them.
How are the falcon doors for you? Do you think they are dangerous at all? I watched another review on them not opening up all the way sometimes and it kinda dropping on them. Thats the only drawback on me getting the X!
Good day! I wanted to reach out and inform you that we currently have some fantastic deals in Tesla Accessories on our eBay listing.
Just the video I needed it was perfect really solidifies my purchase of the model Y
I’ve got a handicapped child and to get her in and out of the car the X is fabulous. I couldn’t wait for the next X and it’s twice the price of the Y, so I tried the Y and it was also pretty good for my daughter so 2 weeks later, everyone’s happy. These cars are great. Great video and your thought process at the end is perfect.
awesome advice and such a heartfelt honest comparison!!!
