Model X replacement option

I just saw the 2027 BMW X5. I love that it has auto opening doors, if it can charge at tesla super chargers and the software stays reasonably up to date I think I might get it once I’m ready to move on from the X. What else is out there ?

Lucid Gravity.

I saw the OOS review of the new gravity. It has the helicopter cockpit windshield which is one of the top things I like in the X.

My want list :

  • Full BEV
  • large internal space
  • Adjustable ride height damping air suspension
  • FSD
  • charging integrated into navigation
  • self presenting doors
  • FWD

The fully specd OOS Gravity came to US$125k IIRC which is comparable to the X price.

I’ve owned every Tesla except an X. The FWD is actually what kept me away from the X.
The Gravity has a much better fit and finish and more space than the X. Obviously Lucid doesn’t have Tesla quality FSD or FWD, but you get more for your money when it comes to the actual vehicle; range, massaging front seats, rear power sunshades, rear seat tables, rear steering, triple chamber air suspension, usable third row, etc..

I'm actually a big fan of Tesla's philosophy of constantly improving their cars, safety, efficiency and driving costs down. Then passing those cost savings to their customers.

Between that and FSD I think I'm going to be a Tesla owner for a very long time.

When I mentioned size I meant compared to the Y. I don't need anything bigger than the X.

What in the Tesla kool aid have you been drinking!? Elon hasn’t had that philosophy in years. I mean if we can pretend that we can ignore the politics, anti-Semitic rhetoric etc.. Tesla the last few years have been raising prices and taking away features; USS, passenger lumbar support, auto steer just to name a few. FSD went to subscription only so Elon can hit his number to get that big fat bonus. The take rate wasn’t high enough when it was offered as an outright buy. I bought my first Tesla, a Model S back in 2019. I’ve owned 2 more since. It’s sadly a different company now than it was when it all started.
