@Sandiegodoug this is the standard non removable Tesla center console, right?

Wow @Amit519 that is really cool. I asked my local dealers (Maryland/Bethesda) and they don't seem to be able to do this.

Thanks - the 35 does look like a reasonable alternative that I can haul in and out. do you think it makes sense to wait till later this year? I keep reading posts that the X may have interior upgrades this year? I'd hate to spend 100k and and have a new model out in 2-3 months that just might...

Hi all, thanks for your replies. Very helpful. Some notes: 1. Yes, I do think my kids will need some place to keep their arms, especial for 3+ hour drives - this is looking at how they use rests today - we have a lexus and a mercedes sedan and their arms are always on the middle arm rest on...

Hi, I am looking to evaluate the cost of a Model X vs. a regular luxury car. I've seem some cost estimators, but am looking at creating something that is factual, based on costs we are incurring with our Mercedes/Lexus cars. I was wondering if anyone would like to comment on the cost...
