Nice! My first BMW X3MC. It is currently our only vehicle while we wait for the S. Love it.

Very nice, just don’t pull in the garage with the bike on top. I had a X3M as a loaner, thought it was the small/cheaper brother, but it was awesome to drive and the sounds it made were even better. That SUV is one of the best by any manufacturer ever built.

Yes I have to constantly chant "don't pull in the garage, don't pull in the garage" as I am driving home.
Yeah I was against the "X3" stigma of it being a bit of a girly car and smaller but after driving it, I was sold. It is an absolute monster, fast, handles great for an SUV. Sounds awesome even though it is not a V8. The straight 6 they created for this platform is nothing short of amazing.
Cannot wait for the S and I am so happy that it is even faster than the BMW.

Your S will blow the X3 out of the water no doubt! The Dual Motor S is as fast as an M5CS, or a Taycan Turbo S after 60 mph.

Yeah at altitude here in Denver the stock X3MC will run a 11.7ish @~117. I expect the LR S to run a 10.8ish @123 ish I think...is what I have seen. The best part about electric here is we do not have the air density issue as we do with the ICE engines...Electric gives us Full power at all altitudes
Yeah, but the sounds it makes and all the trips to the gas station to fill it up with $4-$5 premium gas will be missed. I kept my BMW longer than any other daily driver I have ever owned. The customer service and attention to detail is awesome. Tesla could really learn something by mirroring their service dept.

You're right on the ET, but the DM is a 130 mph trap car! It actually traps exactly what a Turbo S Taycan traps.Yeah at altitude here in Denver the stock X3MC will run a 11.7ish @~117.

Yeah BMW makes you feel king. Especially if find a proper dealership. YMMV, but I do find not having to go to a dealership a luxury too though.

haha yeah the filling up part is not something I will miss, it is constant. The sounds, paddle shifts, more engaging driving experience is what I expect to miss the most. For sure the BMW service level is better than most but I will say it is not flawless.. Tesla no doubt has a lot to learn and i fully expect to be let down at some point here in the first 6 months of ownership whenever that starts..
Overall Tesla has treated me good and fair, but locking my loaner P100d in chill and limiting speed to 80mph when our speed limits are 70-75mph is just cruel

Well I imagine having some dummy hit a tree is not an outcome Tesla would like lol! I would hope they would do Sport mode, but that may still be too fast.

Hopefully you won't be let down...I'm one of the minority that hasn't. In fact the last time I felt my blood boil was at a Porsche dealer in Orange County that I had to fight to get a loaner car from, didn't want to replace my recalled motor mounts and then told me to take the car where I bought it. I asked, what does that mean? Into the showroom because it came from here. This was with a 992 C4S.
To date, all my Tesla service interactions have been perfectly fine. Some have taken longer than I'd like, but I think that's more the nature of supply chain disruption than being Tesla's fault directly. But overall the service has been perfectly fine.
2 yrs ago they did not lock in chill and limit speed, but yes someone(s) screwed it up for all loaners by being stupid

Got a call from Tesla saying they have an exact build available for delivery except it’s a 2021, no new lights. But they can offer a huge discount of 5k… yeah I laughed and declined the amazing offer.

Has anyone else been having trouble logging into a Tesla account to manage an order? I’ve only been lucky once or twice.
Tesla dropped my trade value by $500 since last month. I guess it covers the new lights and hinges.
