with the price of a model X u can get porsche 911 or bmw m5 .. both are way better
What's to explain? They are better built, have fewer limitations, are more fun to drive. Shouldn't that be enough? Tesla is a great commuter car but isn't roadtrip or race friendly like a 911.
Buy a 100D. You will see a ton of Teslas on the roads.
I am buying it as a baby car. I may be taking it for long drives. Trips to L.A etc. So family comfort is important over muscle.
100 means 100KWh. Going to LA is not an issue anymore except for a couple days during holidays.
Wait do you commute to Tahoe?
Yes :) Is it possible with Model X?
I have a 3 and I commute every day in mostly plain terrain. Mileage is pretty on par with the nominal value, but going up hills spends significantly more energy.
Depending on the Model, you will need 1 or 2, 30-40 mins charge to get to LA. Most of SuperChargers are in good locations, with food/coffee/bathrooms so its super easy. Love the comfort of Autopilot on these long drives
How is it to do with a baby? Will driving at 60 mph be tiring?
If you have a baby you’d need to stop a bunch of time nonetheless and that’s when can charge your car simultaneously.
How many passengers? How much gear? If you have no kids, get a model S, a model X if you have kids and hear. Range anxiety is overstated. The state line supercharger is only 3 miles from most resorts. You wouldn’t need to stop to supercharge if you start from the Bay Area till you get there.
I have a baby on the way. So I am planning Model X. They say to get max mileage we have to stick to 60 mph, which is again an boring thing. With a BMW i can go at 80+ in highways.
Are you planning on doing 80+ with your new human in the car?
I was in this same confusion and didn’t want to be worried about one more thing. I went with a fully loaded X5. Unless you are a fan of Tesla, the price doesn’t make sense - you can buy an X5/Q7/XC90 and spend the rest of the money on yourselves
Why X5 over GLE? I am gravitating towards GLE over X5 in non tesla bucket.
The current GLE is better than X5 - I agree. I got my X5 in 2017. Go for the GLE with 22” wheels. It looks badass!!
As soon as you put in the destination Tesla calculates everything including your stops. But yes sometimes if it's cold the range might get reduced but it does warn you to reduce the speed, it's not like it stops in the middle of the road. And yes the autopilot let's you relax a bit though not completely reliable yet.
You can wait for cyber truck ... 79k option offer 500 miles per charge !! Longer than almost all cars ... I have a model 3, and it is really worth it.
Do you take your model 3 on long drives? How is it?
I went to monterey for the longest. It was great, free charging at hotel. We have another car (suv) for carrying skis, luggage. Problem is not range but space. we need space for long trip. I wanted to use go to santa barbara, but I brought bikes ... I am waiting for cybertruck ... Otherwise, still need a gas suv
Standard model 3 range is garbage. I own one and I am scared to go on long drives. Long range might be better but even then it’s not the best option at that price range.
What? much better thsn BMW ... Don’t mix your lack of courage with the great engineering of the car.
