All you really have to do is look at the current e-Tron and iPace efficiency numbers-- the Model X, which is a heavier vehicle with a smaller battery, goes farther.

Audi and Jaguar are also luxury cars, and X isn't.
Ok how do you define luxury car.
Quality, amenities, service experience, stuff like that. Not making things inherently more dangerous is nice, too.
Model 3 is safest production car to the date, as most of the car components are integrated problems can be fixed remotely but still when you have to get to Service Center Tesla is notably improving it. Quality of Tesla drive train, battery, efficiency, supercharger network, software ecosystem, Autopilot (which is best driver assist system available now) .
nothing says luxury like Jaguars laggy infotainment ala $30 android tablet
Jaguar's old supplier of electric parts was known as "the prince of darkness"...

I'll take laggy infotainment over a system where you have to use touchscreen to adjust temperature any day, though. Nothing says "a responsible car maker" like having autopilot drive you into a firetruck while you're fiddling with the touchscreen.

The Model X also looks like it was shit out of a dinosaur. Looks matter, even if range suffers.
