Am I crazy

[EVer Hopeful]

We did a 7500 mile road trip in our MS last July at it was great. We took our two dogs (lab mixes) and added a kitten we found on day 1 at a late night charging stop in PA.

We want pics of the kitten!

good job for rescuing him/her. Rescues are the best!

I really like the design if the Model X but never bought one because our first Tesla was for my wife and she preferred the sedan, so S it was. The second we purchased was a Y PUP because we have 3 kids that visit and everyone always seems to need to go somewhere this we needed a spare and we decided the Y was a good all around car, I snuck the PUP and my wife never commented so I guess I’m safe.

I really want to road trip in an all electric vehicle and I prefer the seating position of the X vs the S. I believe it has plenty of space for us, our French bulldog, and our things. I have a cyber truck on preorder, an early one, but that could be a couple or more years. Thus, I’m thinking the X is a good fit.

i just took a 3300 mile cruise from NJ to Amelia Island, FL (home 2) to Marco Island, FL (home 3 in progress) back to Amelia Island over to Tallahassee to visit my son at FSU, back to Amelia Island, then finally returning to Monmouth County NJ. The only vehicle I have here that was large enough was my enormous HD Ram Power Wagon. The trip was over 1k in gas but the truck behaved pretty nicely and I like being high up.

Can the MX be driven in a beach? Is the best choice for such a trip? If not what do you recommend? I’m going to do it again at the end of Feb or early March. I’d like to go many other places touring the country. After so many years traveling abroad we decided we’d just like to see all of the wonderful places the US has to offer. i don’t want to do tile to wait and I’m. It sure I can do 3k in my PW again.

Thanks in advance for indulging me.

Not a Tesla but check this out. This is in Dubai. When I lived there I really enjoyed it.

Pre-refresh Model X LR+ was up to about 372 miles range.

372 would be the dream, I am so curious why the new X's have less and less range estimates every quarter??

If you want to buy a Tesla for cargo room, just get the Model Y. It genuinely has similar cargo room compared to a Model X, maybe a couple boxes less, but half the price in the end.

However, the Model X features luxury extras that can make your road trip better. First of which is the soooooooooooooooooooooooft air suspension. Then, of course, the panoramic windshield is fantastic to view the sights (it really makes road-tripping better). Of course, you got cooled seats for the front only, which can help if you're visiting a more hot climate.

Finally, if you're an audiophile, the sound system is fantastic in the new refreshes, including the Model Xs.

Isn’t the battery supposed to be like 7-8kWh smaller from the get go?

Get go from what? When you first start using it and it's measuring your driving efficiency?

I'd read somewhere the H revision was closing in on ~104-106kWh fresh capacity and that Plaid packs were showing ~97-99kWh

"Can the MX be driven in a beach?" Really? You gota drive on the beach?

Anytime someone talks about driving a Model X on the beach, I'm reminded of this incident:

Model X in the ocean

More fun than you think.

Just gotta be mindful of sand conditions and tide level.

Driving on the beach in Oregon. Raise the suspension up to high. There were several vehicles stuck in the sand at the place where I entered this beach, including a Jeep.

I thought Teslas had (an unofficial) Submarine Mode

I've seen videos of them traversing flooded streets with most of the hood underwater. Must have been close to the point where Mr. Archimedes was about to make it float

Not a requirement but yeah it’s better than lugging your stuff.
