Why Tesla Model Y Owner Switched To BMW iX 

I switched from a Model X performance to an iX, day and night the iX has better range, quieter, way more options … So all the complaints that the comparison should have been made to an X and not a Y, here you go.

Best car I've ever owned. Phenomenal ride quality amd tech. Glad I gave up my cybertruck reservation.

I came from a Bolt EV. Actually had 2 of them, I gave one away to a family member who lives in another part of town. My wife, however, loves her Bolt EV so that's okay. We paid cash for all our vehicles. Back to BMW, I love my fully loaded iX50. Glad it has wireless Apple Car play compared to my Bolt which had to plugged in.

I have this same model (same color and same interior color). So far, so good.

The comparison with the Tesla Model Y is correct. However, the BMWiX is twice the price. (98,000$ vs 49.000$ for the Tesla Model Y)

Same problem with our Model X 2021. Even in summer (where heat pump is not relevant even), range at 120kph highway, is just around 300km, for a car rated with 600km. 50% range drop on winter... iX, routinely get 500km, now that we are at fall.

Great video that covers everything. What color is your iX?

I know the comments are all focused on the Apples to Oranges BUT I still really appreciated hearing the impression and experience about the iX compared to the Y just for the sake of learning and making up my own mind if anything he mentions is a tie breaker for the listener or not

How to trigger the Musketeers. 😂

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! THIS VIDEO IS VERY HELPFUL!! IM TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN THESE 2 CARS. THIS HELPED ME AND SO MANY WAYS! I WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE IX60 BUT TELSA SELF DRIVING WAS MAKING ME WANT IT BUT AFTER YOU GUYS EXPLAINED IT BMW MIGHT BE IT FOR ME

Wow! This guy really knows his stuff! He must be a rocket scientist!

I think this could be a teachable moment for the EV Rider that they should address the elephant in the room directly. While the model X was brought up it’s natural to wonder why the price difference with the was not discussed more. I’m hoping that competition will eventually motivate Tesla to make cars that have more features rather than just making them cheaper.

Don‘t get me wrong… at first glance with the view inside I thought about some Die Hard 6 trailer…😀 Nice Vid👍

Well impressed with BMWs iX going back to driving my AWD MME just no comparison quality like no other

Adaptive drive provides scanning the surface and adjusting the bumpers, doesn‘t it?

In Europe you can get the smaller 76 kw battery or the larger battery you have in the US. I am caught between going for a used 50 ix and a lot cheaper ix40 which is the smaller battery. Also my price range is used ix about 2 plus years old. Also been looking at the bmw ix4 or the new model y Jupiter.

Bought an ix50 last fall. Best vehicle I have ever owned

2023 ix is it feislift?or the same as 2022

Did the Tesla charge faster? Did you miss the frunk? And is maintenance also as negligible as Tesla?

That car looks awesome! What is the exterior color?

my dream car the best suv good thinking cory

Fair comparison. More like these please.

Hey Cory, now that you’ve owned the BMW iX50 for nearly 6 months, how would you rate the front seat driver’s comfort? You look tall at around 6’3” or 6’4” and I was told by an iX50 owner that the front seat was uncomfortable for tall drivers. Thoughts??

your video has been extremely helpful in me deciding my options but sad to know that BMW still holds on to their legacy mindset whereby the iX models prior to Mar/May 2023 is not able to upgrade their iDrive to V8.5!

I might check out the 24 M60

Both great cars but the Germans always understate their stats

it looks like the updated BMW ADAS does up to 80 mph. How does this compare to the Tesla FSD Beta?

What is the color of the X50 in the video?

Totally agree, just came from a Tesla as well

I have a 2024 IX M60, and I wish I had waited for the 2025 model year, which is already available in Europe and as early as March 2024 in the U.S. The 2025 receives the new M-style steering wheel and dark accents for the interior instead of gold and bronze. Carbon fiber trim for the M60 would have been nice! We do need that trailer hitch and the IX has it, except BMW doesn't provide it for the US market. ?? It is often hard to put the kid's bike in the back. I also wished the range was better. So far, I am very disappointed with the range and the charging time. I hate the fact that BMW and other automakers get away with the "up to" range. What does that mean? I also wished they had the rear window sunshade. All my other BMW SAVs had them. One would think that for a special car like IX they would have one.

How much of your car?

What color is this?

You "forgot" to mention that BMW price is almost double than Tesla...smh.

Why is the BMW iX cooler than a Tesla Model Y? Because when the iX drives by, even the electrons in the Tesla do a double take and think, "Now that's a charged-up ride!" ⚡😉

Why? Because he had the budget to.

Someone has touched it in my IX i40 truck after a year STOP screen Broken propulsion it stopped working very seriously I will tell you but it left me stranded does anyone know something or has this happened to them

The ix50 is irrevelant because the ix40 makes 1000km challange with only 10minutes slower pace. Much less costs, much less weight with better efficiency. Same car. Ix40 is 180kg less. With 20inch wheels even better. Air suspension not needed.

Tesla model X was not designed to be a luxury car, the IX is, obvious from the price point.

bad comparison to model y 50k or less vs 90k, 74kw battery vs 100+kw battery. model x will be better comparison.

He’s wrong about auto pilot, you don’t need to shake the steering wheel to keep it active, you can increase/decrease volume or speed to keep it active.

Teslas are not really luxury cars. it has the luxury price tag though.

Nice car. Hopefully bmw stays in business since they’re losing money on the sale.

TEZ-luh? 🙄

Tesla app is 100x better! Home charging this blob is not easy like it was in my tesla. Bmw nema adapters are none existent This rides better no questions but its heavier

For the price, I'm much rather drive a Porsche 911 992 4S 😂🤣

hey, i think not stopping for stop signs is illegal

Teslas are ugly. Plain jane cheap interior. Im a tesla share holder with more shares than most. Just callin spade a spade😊

I would never switch from tesla due to crappy charging infrastructure from others.

Don't understand these "Tesla is way cheaper.." comments. So? It was considered a premium car by early adopters, which made zero sense to me. It is an ugly design both ext/interior, badly put together in standard medium-quality materials. Clearly evident when compared to a real premium car. Tesla is like the chevrolet of electric cars, right now. Many cheaper cars put loads of gadgets in their cars. But I would never recommend anyone to buy a model S. And the Y is roomy but in a "phone-booth" kinda way, makes you car sick when driving.

Hey two of you. How can you compare IX M50 which the preis is over 110000€ and Tesla Model Y which is 65000€?????😅😅😅😅😅. Don’t compare this car with Tesla model Y, compare this M59 with SPlaid. M50 is too small for Model X oder SPlaid but it is wird to compare a IX50 wirh Tesla Y. Unbeliebte

Range comparisons 1:00 need to be made in context. Fact, the Tesla Model Y Long Range is more efficient at 4.23 miles/Kwh, compared with the BMW ix50 at 3.58 miles/Kwh. So if the Tesla Model Y LR had the same battery as the ix50, it would actually get 445 miles of range, more than enough to get you to Disneyworld and back on a single charge. (Data points BMW ix50 / 105.2 / 377 = 3.58; TMY LR / 75.0 / 317 = 4.23).

You can't compare the costs...!! This comparison doesn't make sense to me...

agree, tesla use cheap materials. BMW is no brainer if you can afford.

tezla das Scheisse

I see BMW hasn't figured out how to make their turn signals work, oh wait it's a BMW you don't need to use your turn signal.

This guy def works for BMW 🤣

Why not the Model X ? Its a lot faster, more range, also ventilated more comfortable seats, air suspension, more storage, faster charging. same price, 3 years free supercharging. And the most important, Supercharger Network. Good luck on long trips with this car.

lol, a $90k car is better than a $50k car, who would've guessed

Well, he was already comfortable with ugly cars so why not an iX 😂😂😂

ix should be more compared to model x not y

Marketing strategy, Bullying underclass Tesla Model Y with BMW iX and not Tesla Model X Thank heaven he's not comparing his reasons with Fort Model T. Even after switching he's still driving with part of Tesla in it.

Yesh but you got NO access to NACS. He wants ventilated seat cause maybe he fart alot 😂😂😂.

I have this bmw n it sucks stop the lies I went from a m6 to this n now I’m looking at the Tesla

I sold my Model Y and bought a Rav4 Prime. Tesla is quality crap. Modely Y sounds like a tin can in the cabin with lots of rattles.
