I've looked at the Jag and the Porsch, but I think I prefer the Tesla. It seems fine for my needs and I do like the acceleration and Tesla status. I'm only prepared to lease. I just want some advice before I plunge. thanks

Tesla Model X with Ludicrous Mode. We’ve had a Model X Ludicrous for nearly a year and I feel comfortable now commenting on it….. Acceleration in Ludicrous Mode is unlike anything a conventional internal combustion engine can produce. I used to race and remember once driving a 427 Cobra. The acceleration was so strong; it made shifting gears somewhat difficult. The Tesla X produces similar speeds & G-Forces, but due to the mass of the vehicle, seven-thousand pounds, acceleration doesn’t translate to the interior. In fact, at full acceleration in the Tesla X, I don’t think I would even spill my Martini….. There are a couple of negatives that anyone planning to buy this vehicle should be aware of. 1. The rear, third row, seat. Car designers are careful about where they place passengers relative to the rear wheels so not to expose them to a discomfort zone; this is where a person will become nauseated when moving through turns. The Tesla X put the third row passengers right into this zone. It’s so bad that we call the back seats, the “vomit seats” and no one can ride in back unless the car is on highways or on relatively straight streets. Tesla should have added aircraft style air-sick bags. 2. The original rear “wing” doors had a problem opening near anything close too them and required about three feet to safely clear. Our Tesla X has articulating doors that when raised, fold up to keep the lower edge close to the car and allow much closer parking. The problem with this is that the bottom of the door now encroaches on the rear access, so people have to duck under the door to enter. And it’s so close to the front doors that anyone exiting the front is likely to run his head right into the bottom corner of the door. I suggested that they modify the squarish corner by rounding it. The first time I exited the driver’s position, it drew blood….. The problem for anyone looking at this car is that there aren’t any other cars that are really similar to it. If you want this car, you have to buy THIS car. I recommend that you modify your needs/wants and accept others, like the Jaguar I-Pace. It’s not as reliable as our subject car, but then it’s not $150,000 either. And it’s more conventional and less in need of direction for new passengers. I’m thankful that ours is a Lease.
