    No shudder. Your wheel just instantly falls off upon full acceleration.

    I imagine there must be as Model S/X currently share a production line, it seems to be in Tesla's best interest to consolidate platforms as the Plaid S transitions to 4680 battery and new platform and also update the vehicles to keep them competitive. Competition from Lucid,Mercedes (EQS SUV), and others are coming.

    The skateboard would be possible is shared, but it may require some body rework. We don't really know where they squeezed the motors right now. There very well could be issues with the body arches in the X that prevents an additional motor. This is one of those things I don't think a MX = MS 1:1. But I do think you're right, the EVP[erformance] SUV wars are coming.

    Elon said it would come some time after. To me this means like 6+ months after. So if lucky mid 2022.

    so the model x plaid is oddly at the same price as the model s plaid. 119k.

    this is causing me to wonder if the x isn't a better value. it will still be faster than my ludicrous model s and more room and rear hitch and fwd.

    anyone else considering model x plaid especially when it is the same price as Model S plaid?

    I don't think so, The X was always at least 3k more than the S.

    I think the last performance models were $112k for the S and $117k for the X.

    The base model X now is $10k more than the base S, but plaids are same $121k.

    Thank you for the data / information, it was about what I had in mind: always been a difference.

    Now, of course, I'm wondering why the equalized prices... o_O
