So interesting to hear all the opinions and what is so apparent is that it’s all such a personal preference and opinion. Having just picked up a 2020 MX LR+ in early June, and with less than 500 miles on the odometer, I’m not too qualified to make a long term assessment on it, but coming from an Audi SQ5, I’ve got to say, I’m pleasantly surprised.
Even after reading about the range hit and harsher ride of the 22” wheels, I couldn’t resist the looks of them and honestly, this car rides quieter and smoother than the SQ5 (which did have 21” wheels). Fit and finish of the exterior trim is definitely sub-par on the Tesla in comparison, but I’m somewhat confident some of that can be tweaked to be better (but also disappointing that it’s even an issue on something in this price range).
One of the biggest things that I’m looking forward to though is the software updates- the Audi SQ5, now 6 years old, had software 5 years old already when I got it. It will never be updated and with the rate technology advances, that was something that always frustrated me so the current and future “technology” aspect of the Tesla’s was quite a draw for me.
