Sad day, returned my '17 X 100D loaner and got my '18 Performance 3 back from service after almost 2 weeks. OMG the differences are immediate. The 3 felt like a toy car. The screen felt tiny. What's this odd feeling? Oh that's right, my butt is like 2 inches off the ground again. And the road noise! It was a dull constant. Surprised I got used to it and just lived with it. The 3 is so darn small in my garage again, it's almost cute. So yeah, my EDD can't come fast enough so I can get back into an X. I'm surprised, but also happy, at how well I took to the X. I was afraid I wouldn't like being in a bigger CUV but come to find out the X fits me perfectly.
Biggest cons in my book are the musical chair disco dance we do in the garage when both kids get out the FWDs. Not much space from driver door to opening driver FWD and lots of crouching/ducking. Asking the kid behind me to humor me and get out the passenger side so it'll give each of us a bit more room.
Also the rear hatch can't completely open while in the garage. Made it a bit of a pain even more crouching when I had loaded up the back with a grocery run. So note to self, gonna have to unload while in the driveway and then bring the X into the garage.
After being in my Model 3 a few days after returning my Model X '17 100D I'm slowly getting accustomed to the 3 again. Snappier CPU is game changing for sure. The X was slow as molasses. I also have to repeatedly remind myself I have to manually close my door after I step on the brake pedal after getting in
