First Look: Model X
First Look: Model X ===================
One vehicle we haven't looked at in a while was the Tesla Model X. We had originally ruled it out because the larger battery models were beyond the $90k price cap we'd set, and the smaller battery models left us with range anxiety.
Since we were starting afresh with the search, it seemed like it was worth re-examining Tesla as an option, even though we hadn't included it in the luxury/functional groups. Ostensibly, it wasn't very good at going off-road, and from cursory reading, it didn't fit the classical model of a luxury vehicle, either. What it did offer was the daily convenience of charging at home (and work) rather than pulling into a filling station every Monday. It was also one of the quickest options available (the not-yet release Alfa Romeo would be quicker to 60 at the same price point; the Lamborghini Urus reportedly quicker but at a large jump in price).
