If I were to get a Tesla- Model X would be the one.

Lots of great SUV choices at $100k plus price range.

That's why two vehicles are ideal.
One with extra space and one to play.

How you gonna get your 85" tv home in a model S?

None that have 1000 1020 hp, do 0 to 60 in 3 2.5 seconds and get 100 mpg equivalent mileage

@ST430 my vote is the S Plaid. Not a fan of the X.

That’s cool - I always forget S is a hatch.
Is model 3 also like that or has normal trunk?

Model 3 has a trunk, not a hatch, but it does have a lot of room and is deep. S has more space and of course a better opening because it's a hatch

I think at one time there was on option for a third row on the Model S. Very usable package, and not bad for a car going on 11 years in existence.

The Model X is ugly to me so getting another S with the conventional steering wheel is a no-brainer imo.

I would get another S if I were you. The X is too small of and SUV IMO to be worth the negatives vs an S

I would actually dispute that. Though not as big a Suburban, and less cargo room than my Sienna, it's pretty roomy and comfortably fits 3 full sized adults in the back seats. That's better than my Sienna, which has 8 seats (one removable), but can only fit two full sized adults in the second row and the backseats, forget it unless you want to torture them

OP: Buy what your heart tells you. Not happy driving a Camry is not a first world problem. Wanting an S Plaid over an X Plaid for fastness is one. Lol.

Never a fan of this new type of steering wheel.

That's nice you could load all those things. But it won't work for this guy. If the OP needs to... transport boxes ... fast, he will need an X. Lol

Feel free to debate whatever you want but it's not in the size class of a real SUV. It's small.

OK, for your needs maybe. But for my needs this would replace my Sienna easily. I just don't want to spend $100K plus on a vehicle, which is why I wouldn't buy it
