OP here. Completely forgot to update this thread! Oops.
Back in June I had to take my 3 into service since the AC wasn't working. Long story short I had a '17 100D loaner for almost 2 weeks.
I fell in love,
HARD! So much so that I ended up detailing it the first weekend I had it, yes I'm mental!
Even though this thing didn't have adaptive suspension, was a bit boaty, had wood trim that was cracked, FWD that rubbed the paint off the door jambs, a MCU that was yellowed around the edges and slow as molasses to input, was something like 1.5 seconds slower to 60mph than my 3, had stalks for days on the steering wheel column that took some time to get used to, and a center console that was pretty worthless for storing drinks or stuff, I friggen adored the thing!
I seriously didn't want to return it. Neither did my family. Kids absolutely LOVED all the extra space they had in the back. I loved the higher seat position, made it easier to get into. That windshield is amazing. We loaded up the kids in the 3rd row and the grandparents in the middle row and we all felt comfortable.
About the biggest con I could come up with is is my garage is now CRAMPED. I have to park it like 1 inch from my garage door if I want any sort of space between the front of the X and my work bench
FWD in a garage and us all trying to get out at the same time is like trying to coordinate a Jenga puzzle with 3 people. When my daughter behind me opens up her FWD, it makes it a PITA for me to exit the driver side door. I have to crouch and bend and duck all over the place. No fun at all. I think the solution to that is to just have my daughter follower her brother and exit out the passenger side. Another con is I can't open up the hatch all the way while the X is in the garage. This made unloading groceries a pain since I had to duck under the hatch to grab the bags. The solution to that will be for me to either use the frunk for bag duty or just unload the X outside of the garage.
All in all it was a great experience and solidified my choice of upgrading to the X. Once I got back into my 3 I was amazed at just how LOUD the road noise was. Like to the point I pondered how I lived with all the noise before. Having my butt 2 inches off the ground and also cramped took a bit of time to adjust. The Model 3 felt like a toy car compared to the X.
I'm picking up my Plaid here in a week, can't wait!
