Having owned a few ICE Germans and couple of Brits, I always preferred the Tesla. First German SUV was a 09 Q7 TDI, love the car, Audi has one of the best interiors (till I get to the Brits) in the industry at the time (and probably still do). Then I got a '14 L494 RRS and it blew the Q7 away, then came the '16 X and the interior never was quite up to par with the RRS, but the tech was light years ahead. So the '14 is now garaged and drive the X all the time, then I got a '17 LR 3, love the 3, then the X was barely driven. Got a '19 RRS for various reasons (one being that luxurious interior and tech in MY 2019 has improved). Still prefer the 3. So RRS and '16 X is collecting dust. Then just got a '21 X - and I'm in love with the X again. LR+ with 20" wheels. Love the new X. So much quieter and handles great. Every time I get into an ICE car, it feels sluggish, does not move, I have no connection with the way the car drives and moves. In the X/3, I feel like I can control the car at will, do exactly what I want from it. I take the X out for everything now. The RRS now has OTA updates, but still no where near Tesla territory. The only thing I love about it is the craftsmanship and that interior with the leather, it still smells new whenever I get into it. I tell you, JLR knows how to make a luxury product. Brits are like old-school luxury, and Germans are like over-engineered machines and know how to please everybody with numbers and research. I love the looks of the RRS, but it does not drive like my X. Don't really like the exterior of the BMWs and MBs, the interior of the new S class is nice, but their GLS product line is very meh to me. So when time to pickup a new car for 2020. I end up with another Model X, it was a very easy decision. Considering I just dropped off the new one at a SC to have like 10 things fix from new delivery (I never learn), but I still stick with them. It's a better driving product.
Also had a Cayenne, better than the Q7, handles OK (I got the S, not the Turbo), but have to rebuild the engine after 5 years, got a bazillion warranty service work done. All kind of electronic gremlins on that one. Could be just bad luck, that kinda swear me off the Porsche brand. Taycan is drawing me in, but can't do road trips like I can on the X.
