Interesting that they'd take deposits on the Model X before they've begun delivering the Model S. I wonder how many Model S sales they'll lose to the Model X.
That's an interesting question. I think it depends upon prices and features a lot...not to mention anticipated beginning of delivery.
My Prius will be 9 years old by the time my Model S is delivered and I'll have been waiting what, almost 4 years since putting down a deposit. While an SUV would be nice for many of the things I do it's not imperitive, we have an SUV (Highlander Hybrid) that will serve and I just don't think I have the patience for another wait unless this thing offers some major improvement (like 400 mile range).
 
Highly doubt there will be a 400 mile range option because:
(1) Model X uses the same exact size battery packs as the Model S
(2) It's possible because it's being introduced 18 months later the cells have better chemistry BUT
(3) This is a significantly taller vehicle with a potentially worse drag coefficient

So my guess is that better cells are offset by worse cdA and you get 300 mile range in best case.

Note that the Model S by then should have a 330-390 mile option.

Yes, I realize that...which is part of the reason it's highly unlikely my reservation will change.
