Your hindsight glasses need some calibration. Tesla has stepped away from offering anything less than the large battery pack since they moved the vehicle upmarket and kept it there. So you'll want to compare today's prices against what was a 90D or 100D. There wasn't a long duration of sustained "cheap" Model X.
From the article:
The 2016 Tesla Model X is not only expensive,
it’s one of the most expensive SUVs on the market. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the base 75D is just under $90,000.
Step up to the 90D and the price jumps to right around $100,000. And the P100D before options costs a mouth-watering $140,000....
From the article:
The 2017 Tesla Model X is one of the most expensive SUVs on the market. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the base 75D is just under $87,000.
Step up to the 100D and the price jumps to right around $100,000. And the P100D before options costs a mouth-watering $140,000.
In 2017, they sold about 22k Model X in the USA. The car has never been a high-volume market share taker. Also, consider $100k for a 90D in 2016 would be $125,761 in today's money.
