Model X is not a 140,000 car. It starts much lower. You can similarly option up a 5 series to 100k. In any case, I prefer my Model S interiors 10x more than my X5 or Hyundai Santa Fe. Both of them have a 1000 buttons on the front dash with random functions which are hard to figure out. And let’s not get started about the iDrive or whatever it is in Hyundai. I love the clean minimalist interiors of Model S. Model 3 interior looks even better

A fully loaded X is $151,000 + taxes and license. My fully loaded Odyssey was $48,000 including all fees.

I've been in other $151,000+ cars before, and the X isn't anywhere close to that.

If you don't care about performance and you don't care about having an electric car, why are you considering a Tesla?
I care a lot about both of those things. But I care more about the comfort of my passengers. I had hoped that the X had both the performance and the comfort, but it failed so badly on the comfort that I had to forsake performance to get the comfort.
