    parallel universe: assume $ is not an issue (gas, payments, etc.), would you still insist driving MX/MXP SUV over say BMW X7 SUV 100% fully optioned ?

    Yeah, i know. But given your experiences in owning MX/MXP, would you insist on driving the EV over BMW X7 (say their inline 6, xDrive40i) fully decked to 100% fully optioned, assuming $ is no objection? Comes down to owning/driving EV SUV over the ICE SUV such as BMW X7? As a comparison...

    Costs/Hours to charge 2021+ MX/MXP 100kWh battery on Level 2 48A Wall Connector from 0-80% and 0-100% ?

    Seems like this topic would have been discussed to death, but searching here doesn't quite turn up similar discussion. So, 2021+ MX is shown as having 100kWh battery. MXLR 335 miles range, EPA est, at 100% SoC. MXP 326 miles range, EPA est, at 100% SoC. On paper, charging speed from max...

    You placed the order (not from inventory) and next day VIN is assigned from inventory and MVPA given?

    Are we (now) forced to buy a factory ordered car from the inventory lot if the spec matches? Or, always been this way?

    You placed the order (not from inventory) and next day VIN is assigned from inventory and MVPA given?

    General question, non-specific to any particular model. Anyone experienced with similar situation, i.e. looked over the inventory and there is a match. Went over to the lot. Looked it over, inspected, took photo of the window sticker, showing the VIN. And it's crap in usual fit/finish, etc...

    ContiSeal and Self Supporting Runflat, says Continental (in addition to ContiSilent), but anyone seen them on tires?

    As title stated, anyone actually seen ContiSeal label/symbol on their MX/MXP Continental tires, eg. Continental CrossContact LX Sport ? I can see the ContiSeal symbol, and that is about it. Continental's own webpage describing their EV tires on Tesla as OE tires show the ContiSeal technology...

    Anyone in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, RTP with Model X Plaid willing to give me a test ride?

    Anyone in the NC Triangle area willing to sacrifice time to give prospective Model X Plaid owner a test "ride" ? Went over to the Raleigh Tesla SC and as expected, the MXP on the lot cannot be test ridden, lot alone test driven. I would like to see what the pedal sensitivity is between the 3...

    Tesla trips site has weird direction but only if you own MX. This won't happen from in-car navigation, right?

    (haven't picked up my MX yet) Is the Tesla's trip site biased only against MX? Family goes to Asheville, NC "often" from the Raleigh area. Following trip navigation direction is "not" indicative of what the in-car navigation will be like, right...

    Please! Talk me out of MX Plaid !!!

    I know, silly right? But why do i want a Plaid, so i can melt my face off, go to drag race strip, impress my friends, etc. ? I've done the research. And not bragging, but $ is there. But can i put $ elsewhere? Sure. Help me go through some other set of reasonings to talk me into buying the...

    (MXP) I cannot decide between black and cream interiors (out is no-go from the boss), is black monotonous?

    White is out. I can't decide! Talk me out of Cream (or Black). Can i hear from anyone that has gone through this same trade off and decided on one versus the other? I know this is (very) subjective, and (strongly) comes down to individual taste(s). Does MXP carbon fiber decor blend better...

    For just $2,500 more, why did you order Model S (non-Plaid) over the Model X tax edition 5 seats ?

    S is quicker? 3.1 versus 3.8 seem you can feel that? S has better range? (ridiculous >400 miles) S as 5 seats vs X 5 seats, about the same cabin space? S cargo space is enough for me? S as 5 seats hold better resale value than X with 5 seats? I don't mind the 19" wheels/tires? $2,500 more...

    Savings of $2,500, why did you order Model X tax edition 5 seats over the Model S (non-Plaid) 5 seats ?

    For the falcon wing door, and that alone? X is roomier? X has more cargo space? X has cheaper insurance? $2,500 saving is, well, $2,500 more in my pocket. Seems like X with 5 seats has the worst resale value because prospective SUV buyers are looking for >5 seats in (any) SUV.

    Any 2023/2024 (or about) Model X with Cream interior with Carbon Fiber decor trims? Any contrast stitching here?

    Seems like earlier photos are moving targets, with Tesla keep changing (small) details. Anyone can share picture's of their cream interior with the carbon fiber decor on 2023/2024 MX (Plaid or non-Plaid)? Just trying to get sense of what the (contrast) stitching looks like in the cream...

    Anyone can confirm whether the new Stealth Grey paint is a metallic paint? Luck has that none of the local dealer has this point on their lot during my recent demo drive event. Thanks!
