Should I move from X3 30i to a Tesla Model Y

[JMD]

The way I see it,...Tesla tech is cool. Yeah, you get a lot. But when I look inside Teslas, I don't see a lot of "Tech",...I see "Minimalistic" environment of which I've yet come to terms with desiring to spend so much money,...yet appear to get so little. Sure, Tesla has a head start over other manufacturers (...Elon's gamble paid off). Yet, I'd much have an i4 over a Tesla,...especially after having driven a Model 3 and i4 M50i. The Tesla conveyed 'grocery getter environment',...the i4 M50i conveyed 'Fighter Pilot Cockpit'!

Either way, after attending the recent DC Auto Show,...I checked out the BEV offerings and I must say there are some models worth a second look. Say what you will, IMO, Tesla's styling won't make me do the "look back" as I walk away from my vehicle. Anyway,...GL with your search.

Tesla is under investigation for the steering wheels coming off in the Y models.

So along with all the other issues I would never buy one.

There are better alternatives in my opinion if you want a EV.

+1... while you're at it OP, go ahead and try out the IX or another EV manufacturer altogether. My brother has the model Y and he's had problems with it since he got it. He's actually looking to trade up and has an IX on order.

i recommend the Kia AWD GT Line for the driver comfort and driving part.

not sure about the rest of the car or how it will hold up. the old Ioniq holds up pretty well tho it's a sister brand

Just my opinion, but I'd stay with the BMW. Proven. Also, your steering wheel won't fall off.

Teslas are freakin amazing. Do it.

As others have said, there is a LOT of variables in this question that you’ll want to sort out or share with the group to help us illuminate the darkness more. Obviously, this is a BMW forum so expect a tilt toward BMW.

I am not a fan of Tesla myself, but it is mainly due to the way they treat their customers and then you have the lack of quality for the price points. Elon Musk is a hard no for me too as I’d probably be avoiding a Tesla until he’s out. But my concerns are likely not your concerns…

You can cross shop the iX from BMW as well as the EQ line from MB. Both of those are great luxury options (with MB tilted toward comfort which I’d probably lean toward in an SUV since they aren’t really sporty anyway). If you’re willing to go less luxury there are some really interesting options on the table from a host of manufacturers now… Including Chevy *gasp*.

Tesla is looking like they’re running out of uniqueness which is draining them of their gas (pun intended).

OP's never come back. It's a bit of a troll post. Not sure he / she actually needs or ever needed help.
