The range and ability to tow on the BMW plus probably about 25,000 less when figuring in discounts makes it a hard choice.
I looked at the model X. IIRC it could tow 5000 pounds, but the towing range was a non-starter. It takes 150-200% of the energy when towing even a small trailer, so unless your lake or campsite is within 100 miles of home, it would require a lot of time at superchargers. #threaddrift
