True- the highland addressed a lot of the flaws in the refresh- I thought bmw had the upper hand but I was surprised at how nice the dual motor model was- and how much nicer the interior felt.

The difference is that I’m doing winter road trips, specifically out from SoCal to Utah or Mammoth or Whistler/Banff/Jasper. Canada is 0F-15F and at 55-70mph I’m getting 220ish. It’s not just being in the cold. There’s wind, elevation, speed, radiant/blower heater use, etc. Speed limit on the 15 between St. George and Salt Lake range between 75-80mph? which means people are averaging 90–95mph. This kind of speed in 10F, uphill and against wind will net a 160-190 mile range especially on winter tires on any iX. |

That is the reason why I leased mine coupled with the fact that leasing is the only way to get the tax credit. If technology changes fairly slowly I suspect valuations will approximate lease residual values in a few years. If technology breakthroughs occur, then resale may devalue more.

For those of us that drive to Tahoe vs Vermont. In addition to a 250 mile trip and 20 degree temps, add in 7200 feet of climbing and tell what your range is? Alan |

Separately I’m keeping the X7 for road trips because the gas cost is marginal and there’s a lot more room, more like the model X. Of course I know the X7 doesn’t have a fronk. |

We’re confused because your running an x7 because the ix doesn’t have a frunk. If you run a tesla X instead, it would not be confusing.

Can I not compare the X and iX until I own an X? . And I don’t want an X so I’m sticking with my X7. |

I have an ix and an x7 with dhp and I like the ix better in most aspects. The 3rd row of the x7 is superb with the premium pack. Much spacious than the model x's 3rd row. True that a 3rd row and the IX would be 100% perfect.

Wait til folks learn what their gas mileage is in ICE vehicles in these scenarios. Just because you can refill in 5 minutes doesn’t mean you “win.”

I'd also love to see batteries become smaller, standardized, and swappable (like AA batteries for personal devices). I bet something like this becomes more feasible with higher energy density batteries in the future. Let's pretend these packs hold 10 kwh of charge. If you only need 100 miles of range to cover your daily commute, you only plug in 3-4 of these. If you need 600 miles of charge, maybe you plug in 20 of them. This way your efficiency is further improved by only lugging around as much battery as you actually need. |

But the original use case was the model X to take our family on a road trip. We never seem to have enough room in our car for stuff and if it were a decision between the X and iX that is a real factor along with the 3rd row availability. |

I’ve had a trunk for 9 years now in my model s - only store chademo (not used for 6 years now…) and emergency extension cords that never have been used… I won’t miss it when I get my ix, but I will miss the cubby in the left side of the luggage compartment where I kept snow equipment etc readily available, seems that kind of storage is missing (don’t count the storage under the lid, as it’s not available if having the luggage full…).
