Sooo, are you buying a Model X P90D or a Model S P90D?
I'm guessing a Model S... But I find it funny to read your post like you are a bipolar fanboy. "I hate it in every way - take my money damnit!"
I don't consider myself a fanboy - I was one of the first and most vocal to criticise the lack of a folding 2nd row. But have you been living in a hole for the last 5 years? There were no big surprises at the launch, only some new details like the HEPA filter, new nose design and auto-opening/closing front doors. Aside from the non-folding second row seats (and subjectively - appearance), the Model X shown yesterday is superior to the prototype shown in 2012 in every way.
I'm disappointed about the non-folding 2nd row, but the 6 seat configuration might still work for me. And the nose might need getting used to, but it's not that terrible. The worst you can say about it is that it is bland - but this is offset by the falcon wing doors. (No one will be looking at the nose.) A front plate should also help break up the front a bit more.
Regarding the launch, I didn't in any way think Musk embarrased himself. It didn't occur to me until I read criticism on this forum. He is himself, he got everything they planned to present across just fine.
Regarding the autopilot, the Model X will certainly have it, and probably at the same time the Model S gets it. Personally, I don't care the slightest bit about autopilot, but it's my understanding some people do. If you want to see how autopilot works, rewatch the "D" announcement.
I care more about the biohazard mode. This at least provides some utility to me, although I wouldn't pay more than maybe $500-1000 if it was an option. I will enjoy not being bothered by exhaust in particularly tunnels. And if I have to drive through a forest fire, it might save my life. I also have a pollen allergy, so if I'm in the car, there's probably no issue if I've forgotten my antihistamines.
Regarding the falcon-wing doors. They don't solve world problems, sure. But in some ways they are better than all other doors, in other ways they are not. I don't see them as a major selling point, but I don't see them as a problem either. They're fine. And you ask what happens if you hang on to them as they open - 99% surely they will stop.
Regarding hauling. I wouldn't buy the Model X if it couldn't haul, just as I've considered the Model S, but just haven't been able to buy it because it can't haul. I would expect something like a 40-60% range hit when towing 5000 lb. Maybe 25% if towing a low, light trailer. This is fine. You'll still for the most part be able to get between suprchargers.

OP..I still cannot get past the fact you drive a bmw m6 and your handle is seashepard.:wink:
I can't get past the fact that the handle is Seashepherd full stop. But I do *not* want to derail this thread. Instead I'll add this
