Convince me to stay with a Model X

Weird, honestly your experience is horrible, I return my old leased X this morning and it was a great experience, 5 min and I was out, 1 hour later they removed the car from the app and send me a bill for 0$.... I was ready to pay for all the scratches on the car, curb rash on all 4 wheels (wife...) etc... nothing, they took the car as is.
I cannot fathom why the Model X they tried to sell us sucked so bad. But I also cannot fathom why their attitudes about it were so bad. Collateral swap would have been so easy and they could have used a mildly dented and stall-prone 2023 X in their loaner fleet anyway.
Even with a buyback happening, they insist this was the best experience they could have delivered. Lol.
BTW how do you curb rash all 4 wheels?
You need to ask my wife that as she is a master on curb rashes, I assume in a week the new car will have curb rash on all 4 wheels, this is why she can't drive my cars ever.
enjoy it to the fullest 
it is not comfortable to use for long distances, there is no way to hold it and relax in traffic, the sides are not round so your hand can't really hold it comfortably for me it only "works" in a straight line when you accelerate and need to grab it with both hands.
Yeah the yoke is terrible at low speeds (parking lot, parallel parking, or driveway). But I thought it was pretty good while driving.
Maybe I have a more upright seating position so my arms don’t extend as far to reach the wheel than if I was reclined further back?
I know some people like to cruise and basically one-hand hold the outer 6 o’clock position of the wheel. But that’s not really possible with the yoke.
Doesn’t matter I guess. The Mercedes steering wheel is way more quality feel

Everyone has different tastes. Personally, I really like the yoke. First, I am a two hand on the wheel at all times sort of driver. Second, I am a pilot and have a lot of experience flying behind a yoke, so it feels natural to me. Except maybe for the lack of buttons and switches for the radios and trim.Yeah the yoke is terrible at low speeds (parking lot, parallel parking, or driveway).

Wow it's absolutely gorgeous!!!
Great to hear about the quality too!Wow... you tempt me into changing colors. That is a beautiful finish.
I agree especially compared to my multi-red S plaid (in the second picture), this new ultra-red is much better.
Are you still loving your MXP? I have one on order but am so friggin frustrated with Tesla right now that I might end up canceling the order. The latest is that they won't let me pre-order a winter wheel/tire. I live in Colorado. Ordered the car with the 22" rims and was told there is a chance they could come with summer performance tires. So, thought I'd be proactive and pre-order the 20" winter wheel/tire setup for the MX since delivery is estimated for February and there's a good chance there will be snow. Should be an easy thing to do, right? Nope. They won't let you order the wheel/tire package until you take delivery of the vehicle. WTH? Then asked if I could update the order to the 20" rims but with the winter tires (not all-seasons). Nope. And, you can't buy the Tesla 22" wheels/tires afterward anyway. Why is something so simple made to be so complicated?
