Performance Model X vs Performance Plus Model X.
No other AWD EV with cargo capacity I am aware of. For me, the car market is literally down to 2 cars today, and if I'm going to drive a big car, then I'm going BIG (S vs. X).
There's plenty of competition directed at the Model X, all in the form of PHEVs:
Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Audi Q7 e-tron
Volvo XC90 T8

If the only thing one wants is an all-electric SUV (like my wife does), then what else is there? We already have a "baby Tesla" Toyota Rav4 EV, and that doesn't hold a candle to the Model X (and won't be available much longer). So my wife will be cross shopping the Model X 60kWh against the Model X 85kWh (or whatever configurations Tesla actually releases).
For me, though, I like the EREV (extended range electric vehicle) model that uses a back-up gas engine for when the battery is depleted, so I could see myself cross shopping the Mitsubishi Outlander (if it ever actually arrives in the U.S.), the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Audi Q7 e-tron, Volvo XC90 T8, and perhaps some "regular" hybrids like the Lexus RX450h. I was, at one point, going to strongly consider the Nissan Renaissance (now branded as the 2015 Murano), but was shocked to discover it wasn't going to be EV or hybrid...even though it looks like it should.
Y'know - after looking at that list above, I'm probably not cross shopping at all. Unless Cadillac surprises everyone with an SRX EREV similar to the ELR, or Lexus translates the Toyota Rav4 EV into the luxury fold, the Model X is really all I'd be considering.
I plan on selling my Mercedes SUV and my f-150 ford and I will get a small trailer to tow behind the X and then have only Electric vehicles, no gas. Just purchased the EGO lawnmower and will get the blower, then the only other gas powered equipment I will have is a chain saw and log splitter. Which are only used on occasion.Until Model X makes it onto that list, right behind the Cayenne turbo S, apparently they have the good sense to have it on this one: Top 10 Cars We AutoGuide.com News
answer to OP - none nothing no. Does it burn gasoline? Then I don't want it. Does it compete with Tesla? Please.
After the X, I just need to make my old truck last long enough to get me to a Tesla pickup. It is very unlikely I will ever buy another new ICE powered car. Only one company, so far, has made that a possibility for me.
