    Thoughts on the i4 M50 from a former M3P owner

    Great review! Glad to hear it's what you're looking for. I would be giving BMW a much harder look if they had a 6 passenger EV. As it stands, I figure I'll drive my MXP until my son graduates in 3 years and then give it to my wife. Just in time for the 2027 Neue Classe M3 🤘

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    With all due respect, I saw you extolling the virtues of the X platform many times on this forum before you decided to cancel your order. I would think after owning 2 Xes you would see what they bring to the table over a Y. Value is a subjective thing. How do you value FWDs? Regardless of...

    Is the 2023 Model X suspension just not refined?

    Yep. It's week 44 of 2023 this week, so it should be imminent.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    (Deleted my post because it looks like MrKashima beat me to it) I did not know the others had it too. That might come in handy. Regardless, I think with the feature the buttons are fine for signals. That damned horn though 🤬

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Unpopular opinion, but I don't mind it. It's really only the horn button that bugs the hell out of me. I actually like the automatic canceling turn signal buttons over the stalks. PRND would be kind of nice on a stalk but it's used so infrequently I don't mind. Auto select is actually really...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I haven't seen the numbers, but my guess for MXLR would be low-mid 11s (11.2-11.4) based on MSLR data points. MSLR can sometimes run very high 10s (10.9x), but it's more often in the 11.0-11.1 range or even a little higher. MSLR 3.1s 0-60 compares to MXLR 3.8 as a reference, but the weight...

    For non-inventory Model X Plaid orders placed in September 2023, what is your estimated delivery date range?

    FWIW, the start of my EDD window was 16 Oct when I got my VIN (on 15 Oct)

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    I think it's more likely people will delay ordering to get the rumored bumper cam and interior lighting than cancel over this change to a different car. Couple of reasons: 1. This change to 3 architecture does't affect the operation or capabilities of the s/x at all - they're still capable of...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    The doors do not open fully by themselves, no. What I meant in saying that is how I open them - pop the door, let the motor disengage, then open it fully myself. A lot of folks have commented about the lag time of that second step feeling significant. Imo, it's there, but it doesn't feel like...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    Agree. Very subjective choice in the things we value in a car. I prioritize performance and the infotainment over pure luxury and quality of materials. My neighbor is the opposite. He drives an etron and x5 45e (or whatever the hybrid is), and I have had Teslas for the last 5 years. We're both...

    For non-inventory Model X Plaid orders placed in September 2023, what is your estimated delivery date range?

    Maybe. My garage size looks identical to the photo other than the number of bays, so I'm not sure that would make a difference. My issue is with the garage door open, however, which is usually how I would load a car. The doors can open 100% and not hit anything even with the garage door open...

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    (Long post, sorry) Picked up my Ultra Red/White MXP this morning. Everything went very smoothly, including the wire that was sent yesterday by FedChoice, just as their documentation indicated would be done. Only issues I found were a slight bulge in the first 2-3" of rubber trim where the...

    For non-inventory Model X Plaid orders placed in September 2023, what is your estimated delivery date range?

    Can't get mine to do this. They open a good amount of the way without intervention - easily enough for even me to get in without stooping much (would usually be my kids entering there anyway), but even with the "remember this location for fully open" or whatever, they still need prompting to go...

    Side window visor stand in?

    Great idea. Sounds even more practical than the stick on solution. Think I'll try that. Thanks!

    That's a wrap, right? Looks great, regardless, but the subdued tones of the reflections make me wonder. Maybe a filter? Some parts of it (front fenders) are reflective enough to seem like paint.
