So much for the "no more than $5K above comparable Model S." That's right out the window.
A base Model S 90D with rear-facing jump seats (seating for 7) is $91,000.
A base Model X 90D with the 7-seater option is $99,500. That's an $8,500 difference.
Yes, I know the Air Suspension is included in that price on the X, but that's an option that cannot be unselected on the 90D, right? And even if you add that to the cost of the S, it's still a $6,000 bump to the X.
I don't have access to the design studio yet (P 4787) but it seems to me that there is actually an $8,500 difference between a base model S 90D with seating for 7 and a base Model X with seating for 7. Plus $4,500 for an air filter that they touted so much during the reveal. Seriously?
I'm actually glad that the Sigs are not paying a Sig premium this time around (more like a Sig discount). I think that's only fair for Tesla holding their $40K for 3.5 years that the Signatures are getting fully loaded 6-seaters or 7-seaters for less than a comparable production configuration. But the "no more than $5K premium over a comparable model S" is simply untrue for the base model 90D with 7 seats.
Is anyone else feeling a little let down right now?
The rear seats have AC/heating, they're ventilated / air cooled seats on top of that, and they're also not child seats. That's far from comparable.
Musk stayed true to his word on pricing, in my opinion.
