I'm getting a Model X, not a Model S. The Model X is exactly right for me to replace my Mercedes GL450, which I use only for local trips and occasional day trips. I think I'll like the Model X so much that I will also want to take it on long road trips, which I don't think it's well suited for. However, I am open to be persuaded otherwise. I am very excited about the Model X, and the Model S for that matter, but that doesn't mean that I am willing to totally overlook their limitations.
