I looked at a Tesla Model X new priced at 92,000 and a new BMW X5 4.0 at 70,000 on the same day. The differences in build quality was astounding. Tesla does however still have the edge in electric drive train performance. I really want a electric vehicle but starting to rethink it. The range and ability to tow on the BMW plus probably about 25,000 less when figuring in discounts makes it a hard choice.
