My gut feeling is you may be in a small minority of X drivers. Honestly, I have never met an X driver who is single or in just a 2-person household. Only people I know that own a larger SUV like the X for just self or couple with no kids are status drivers, such as those driving a G, Cayenne, or Range. Definitely the Y is a better fit for you as you mention. I don’t think Tesla was primarily going after child-less drivers as their target market with the X.
I can say that many families I met with 2 or more kids believe the X is perfect size, or sometimes even too small for long trips. The 3 is definitely small with 2 young kids in car seats, which makes me believe the Y will be as well since it’s pretty much the same car with just a few more inches each way. My neighbors with the 3 solely use it as commuter. They either have larger SUV’s (and not even CUVs like the Y and X3) or minivans for family outings.
But, my view may be biased as I live in a suburbia world just outside of SF with families shuttling kids to after school activities. Might not be the same in a dense area like SF city or NYC.
