Looking at competitors:
Acura
Audi
BMW
Infiniti
Land Rover
Lexus
Mercedes
With the exception of Infiniti, every luxury SUV/CUV priced at $40,000 or higher has AWD standard.
For luxury SUVs/CUVs under $40,000 (and for Infiniti) adding the AWD option costs about $1,400 - $3,100.
The Model X is starting at $59,900 (after rebate) a level that ought to come standard with AWD but it does not.
How high can they go in charging for AWD?
I know that it involves the addition of the second motor and that it also enables many of the killer features of the Model X (fast 0-60 time, tight turning radius, best AWD performance, better range / more regen) but I don't think this option should be more than $5,000.
