WHY I'M SELLING MY TESLA MODEL X (AGAIN)

EV Channels Review

The reviewer is seriously considering selling their current Tesla Model X Plaid due to "worst FOMO" and a desire to explore other EVs, specifically the Rivian R1S. While acknowledging the Model X Plaid's "ludicrous performance," "FSD," and "free supercharging," the reviewer highlights practical challenges, particularly with three children, finding the Model 3 cramped and the Model X's six-seat configuration necessary due to sibling squabbles. The R1S is praised for its potential $12,000 tax credit (which the Model X wouldn't qualify for), estimated real-world range closer to its advertised 300+ miles, and more customization options. However, despite these points and the R1S's appeal, the reviewer ultimately decides to configure a new Tesla Model X, citing brand loyalty, the iconic Falcon Wing doors for their tight garage, and the desire for the updated features like V4 charging and active noise cancellation. The decision is driven by a strong emotional connection to the Model X and Tesla, despite the higher price and lack of tax incentives for the new Model X.
