How many guys driving Model X?

[l4sythe]

..it’s a millenial thing I think ....

Hahaha! Must be, great point.

My X is named Clarence Clemons. Now I ask you. What would the Big Man have said if he was with us today?

That's what I thought.

Single guy here, under 30. I have thought about this as well in my decision between a Model S and an X.
Can't wait to take delivery soon and pick up chicks in my Model X

P.S. The 22" rims help make it more masculine. The 20" make a Model X look more like a minivan, in my opinion.

If you got your *sugar* together, drive something less nasty than a smart car. There's other EV options to impress a dad FFS, we both know it.

Masculinity is ultimately about being a protector no matter what you drive.

In my defense, I said could not do. ;-) Bright yellow Audi S5 at the moment, taming it down to a more elegant X in a month or so...

Why are we gender profiling drivers to Tesla’s 3s, Ss and Xs. We should be buying and driving the Tesla that meets OUR needs. Before I owned a MX, I use to love the looks of Tesla’s and was impressed that it was electric, I could have cared less who was driving it. I’m a 71 year old male, and I have a 7 passenger MX so I can haul 5 grandyoungones at a time!

I totally agree! I selected a Model X with 5 seats because I sell brass musical instruments and wanted the largest Tesla available to carry them around. Mind you, it impresses everyone that sees, be they male or female

I don't at all view the Model X as feminine. And I love every second in my X.

27 year old guy here, married with no kids. But the Model X is imo the superior more updated vehicle in terms luxury options like all doors being self operating and better seats and the doors of course. I wouldn’t pay for a model s when I spend a similar amount and have all the extras of an X. That said i think it’s almost a must to have the 22 inch rims instead of the stock 20s. I was completely against them my first 2 years with the X, but now I will never dispute that handling and looks are in another league with the 22s.

Here’s some pictures with only add-ons being the rims and painted calipers.

I really like the look with the 22s. My only gripe is the range loss (not that big of a deal) and having to deal with snow tires in the winter since I assume they come with summers stock.

Yeah for me the rangeloss was going to be the biggest pill to swallow, but when i was able to make all my usual road trips with zero issues at all, that’s when my range issues disappeared.

Coming from a full size pickup and SUV background, I was unhappy with the height of sidewall on the stock 20" wheels. There's no way I would want the 22s on Philly roads - I'd be bending rims or blowing sidewalls every week on our potholes.

Is there anything less masculine then worrying about being masculine?

...driving a corvette ??

 

[TexasRat]

I'm sticking with the 20". I think they look fine. Just don't care what anyone says and buy what you want. Either choice is still cooler than just about everything else out there.

Oh and male here too btw.

 

[Anzir]

I'm a guy as well and it's going to be my daily driver. That being said I tried to spec it as masculine as I could...

What would an online conversation be without trolls. Thanks for the unhelpful comment/insult.

They actually come with All-Seasons (at least in the U.S.). Scorpion™ Zero™ Asimmetrico | Summer SUV Tires | Performance tires

X is pretty far down the list of actual chick cars if it were even included.


Miatas
Bugs
Mini coppers
Civic del sols
Malibus
Yaris
Explorers

Not sure why masculinity is so underrated around here.

It’s not entirely from the car you drive but the attitudes, roles, expectations, basic survival common sense around masculinity is important.



If I had to pick between my daughters date showing up in a Miata packing a march for for our lives shirt or a Mazda 3 packing .45ACP I would have more confidence in the latter as an acceptable companion.

Funny this list is wrong - 80% of Miatas are sold to men globally. It's one of the best sport track cars ever made. More fake news

THIS^^^^^^^ Also the dude with .45 ACP would be in the living room having a drink with me even if he was driving a Miata. Then we would walk out to the garage so I could show him my Supercharged Miata

They still sell the Ford Exploder?

It was food for thought. If you’re insulted by it that’s more food for thought for you as well.
