If I had it all over again I’d go for a 75D with EAP. Especially now they come with PUP (HEPA filter, fancier stereo, and heated rear seats, heated wiper area and heated washer jets ) as standard.
We tested a model s. My daughter rejected the model X. Sure, it was a bit more expensive. And a little more energy-hungry. She rejected it because she considered the legroom to be less than the model s. .
In the end we weighed up rear wheel drive model s with PUP and AWD model s without. And our procrastination meant we were able to order a model s 75D with EAP in red with AWD. It is the best car I have had.
Were I thinking again I’d still probably go for the model s. But a test drive of a model x showed me the unexpected practicality of the falcon wing doors. While I was unnerved by the comparative huge scale of the X my SO considered it ‘fine’.
On balance, I’d opt for a model X if my main use was family and local and then long distance. Luckily, my main use is business and then family trips. The model s 75D with EAP is superb. It has masses of load space and works very well. It also looks surprisingly ‘cool’ for a car.
On the German car note, I was a committed MB driver. I’m not going back. EV is way better. As we weigh up the affordability of a model X 75D with EAP and 7 seats or a Nissan Leaf Tekna you’ll get an idea of how far we’ve moved from German diesel and gas.
