Interesting that you'd ask me to explain a thumbs down vote. Do you do the same for thumbs up votes? And how do you know I don't like FWDs? Seems to me that you are just jumping to conclusions with no real evidence (see, e.g., your made up "90-95%" claim).
Perhaps what you are missing is not my imagined disdain for FWDs; rather, it may be disdain for the tone of the post itself. I'll leave that one for you to figure out.
ok, email/text can easily be misread in terms of tone so I will do my best to be more sensitive for those who take things personal on message boards as sometimes I can be on the other side of that too and feel like I'm being attacked personally and know how that can feel, I apologize for that if that was the case. I appreciate your willingness to share and welcome it so I will adjust my tone going forward as perhaps others could be offended by it too if I'm not more sensitive in presenting my pro-FWD case on this thread.
I just assumed since most of my posts on here are Pro-FWD based that you were disliking them because you are Anti-FWD as I believe you must have a view on the FWDs while you are perusing this thread which is about a 'perceived' problem with all FWDs.
Although you don't own an X, do you have one on order? or are you planning to order one?
I am very well connected within the Tesla community and know many Tesla owners over the years, went to the X reveal and Model 3 reveal events for example, have been to several meet ups and am always interested to speak with other Tesla owners at superchargers (of course i am sensitive in person not to start conversations with people who do not seem interested in talking at superchargers), both S and X owners. I am always curious to learn what other owners of Tesla products feel about their experience, and based on my own personal information gathering, which is in no way scientific, I put that 90-95% satisfaction out there with the FWDs.
I actually had a similar feeling about he S itself in the early days and then sure enough Consumer Reports did their more scientific survey of Model S owners a year or two later and it revealed something like 98-99% of Model S owners loved their S and plan their next car to also be a Tesla as a result which is insane for any car brand, despite any minor tech issues that their cars gave them which was common with early Model S' as I experienced a few too with my 2013 S (as I am now with my Sig X).
This is where i draw my 90-95% stat from on Model X owners with FWDs...which could be conservative given what I've stated above (we will have to see what Consuomer Reports survey from thousands of Model X owners say to Consumer Reports). That's where I get that 95% number from as you asked.
