Is driving dynamic of refreshed model X signficantly superior to model Y?

[KidsEyeDr]

I currently have a self-inflicted problem in my Model X (; awaiting a service appt next week) so I have been driving the Y again for the first time in a long time and wowwww ok the Model X is far superior. I think if I were to put the seat up as high as it can go in the Y, it might feel more comparable but even so the lack of a yoke is a major downgrade.

I cannot wait to get back in my X.

I always thought the doors were gimmicky…until I got the X. Now I really like them.

It makes the MX unique and totally high-tech. You just have to be careful about everyone being clear when you close them. Also, rear seat pax should know how to open them in an emergency- remove the speaker grill, etc.

“Getting kids out of the vehicle in case of accident” remains my #1 concern with the Model X, but that’s the same for ANY vehicle and it all depends on the type of collision.

I think if not in water, I’d have the kids in the middle row climb out through the front and then tilt the middle row seats forward and help the kids in the back row seats climb out up through the front. Basically bypass the falcon wing doors.

Anyway, while life is incredibly risky to begin with, I think the Model X /any Tesla is the safest transportation option hands down (as an NHTSA-tested fact).

I think it would be a good idea for any parent to teach their kids what to do in event of an accident, and teach what to do in the event of at least a few basic variables
-parent not responsive
-location such as bridge, water, highway
-fire
-weather

Makes me realize that I don’t know how to open the X rear door in case of an emergency. I need to look that up!
