[@Vanessinha91Pucca]

I really like the dynamic of both of you guys together,

[@theepictallguy]

I'm glad tesla is getting competition now. 88k msrp is insane for how little it has to offer.

[@JDMSwervo2001]

The price is fueled by hype not by what it has to offer

[@jkim356]

What competition? The other legacy and start up car companies can't even ramp up production to produce a meaningful amount of vehicles, not to mention they're all battery supply constrained and will be for years. Also the MSRP is not as bad as you think, considering the battery itself is probably $30K of that amount.

[@theepictallguy]

@@jkim356 smaller automakers like rivian definitley are having problems, but I'm seeing a lot of EV's here on the east coast made by big manufacturers. I'm optimistic they'll catch up and drive the price down. For 88k I'd rather have a brand new custom m3.

[@jkim356]

@@theepictallguy what you see is not necessarily what it is, try ordering a Mach e, Ioniq 5, etc and you will quickly find there is almost no inventory and dealer markups are in the 5-10k range. Even more so for EQS and higher end make/models. From a macro point of view, there’s going to be huge supply constraints for the whole EV industry and those who haven’t secured supply by now, will struggle and won’t be able to produce cars in the next few years. I would rather buy a model X or any cheaper 3/Y than an M3, but to each their own.

Most of teslas competition costs more and offers less what are you on about 🤣

Oooh looks like you don't know about the light show haha. I think all Teslas have it at this point but the Model X does it best with the doors. Very fun little bonus.

[@SalemAlyafeai1]

I just want to know who's idea was to place the cup holder in the arm rest area. Super inconvenient!

[@noway6238]

really dumb design, they do also have adjustable cupholder in the front tray under the screen (those C clamps @1:11) but im really glad they redesigned the whole console in the refresh x

Drove one a few years back. The best part was the infinity windshield, felt like the future. The doors need to go away and fitment needs a lot of work. They really need to make a more “normal” suv to really move the needle in the space. Good first effort though.

Yup model y is just that

@@TheTopher thats not necessarily true, lots of these dealers all over tend to buy 1 tesla from auction and keep on hand at a ridiculously overpriced cost to have as a "demo" which is the case here.

[@briansimon1263]

I am going to 'assume' most of the negative comments are from those that have never test driven a tesla or any electric vehicle.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I wouldn't assume that. Not everyone that has driven a Tesla falls in love with it. Some do, some don't. I rented a 3. Didn't fall in love with it. Teslas aren't for me. However I did drive a Polestar 2 and liked it but think one that's on a proper skateboard will be better. Will rent a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6 when they come available. EVs are overall better than ICE IMO. But I don't dislike ICE like a lot of EV fanatics do.

[@briansimon1263]

@@benjaminsmith2287 I just know allot of people that have pretty strong opinions against EV's in general and have never driven one is all. I like EV and ICE vehicles and I happen to own both. An EV was never on my radar to be honest until I happened to test drive one and eventually decided I wanted to test the waters so to speak.

What’s the range on the Standard Range?

[@ccvr6]

I love the exterior look of this...but to be honest, the interior looks some shit Ford would put out. Now...that's not to say Ford products aren't good (many of the models are), but what I'm saying is.....this ain't no $100k interior. That being said...do more father/son vids like this - that's pretty cool 😎

[@bldude2]

I mean...Ford's kinda been copying the Tesla infotainment/interior look as far as I could see. Pretty sure Tesla did interiors like this first. 😅

[@ccvr6]

@@bldude2 this is true. I am starting to feel like we need an influx of new auto manufacturers in the U.S. I’m talking completely new companies…not subsidiaries - and they DON’T have to all be pushing EVs. Getting pretty bored with the current offerings here - Even the new models. All this shit is the same. Boring.

[@bigboat8329]

personally I don't like the design of teslas anymore. the model S looks pretty sleek but the 3, X, and Y are just too round and bulbus-y for my taste.

It gets a credit for being larger than the competition, but after taking a few day trips in both the late 2010s and new 2022 Model X, I'm not impressed with much else. Suspension isn't great, seating is meh, interior is meh. Audio in the 2022 is relatively good though.

You mean “Dual Motor” I don’t think a “standard range” model x exist.

[@veke1069]

SR MX does exist. Old 75D cars after the Raven update were badged as Standard Range. They were canned after a few months.

[@trashrabbit69]

I still find the I-Pace a more enticing deal, even though its nearly 3 years older than the Model X. Nevermind the more typical design, the interior for it just feels like a luxury _car,_ not some dumb dick-swinging concept piece. Part of the reason why I love the Bolt and Leaf so much, there's no overdoing on tech and faux-futurism, its simply a good well put together car that runs on batteries rather than a noisy engine. Dials, knobs, they're futuristic too, people. And will actually live on to the future more effectively than going through several screens and unintuitive feedback just to turn your buttheater on.

[@Glotation_]
