Driving around (in ever-increasing Sacramento-area traffic) with a "Classic"/"Legacy version Model X, which I mostly like, I am always thinking, "What if the car was totaled and (a) I survive without a scratch, natch and (b) I have to get a new car. Would I get another X?"
Unfortunately it seems EM (I blame everything on him) is removing, changing, and not adding features I like/want (e.g., loss of SW stalks, self-presenting door feature, powered frunk hood, better batteries, loss of adjustable headrests, etc.) and retaining or adding ones I don't (e.g., FWDs, landscape center touch display, rear touch display, yoke SW (fortunately now an option), lower maximum range, etc.).
On another site I was commenting that if forced to buy a new car I would definitely also look at the Rivian RS1 now, in addition to Model X. (I would have compared the two models in early 2021, but the Rivian SUV was not available, and with larger battery set, at that time.) Maybe I'd look for a low-mileage used X (with transferable unlimited SC-ing!).
All joking aside, the cheapening (my word) of Tesla cars worries me. But this probably happens to most new companies, as after the brand takes off they start looking for ways to maintain/increase profits, cut costs, and please stockholders.
I haven't researched this topic, but are there rumors of a new Model X (or other replacement top-of-the-line Tesla SUV) coming? When? Another game-changer (for all models) will be if Tesla can ever advance FSD into Level 4 or 5. That would be something! Lastly, the new Model 2 (or whatever its called) may be exciting (for the brand). We'll see.
