I could actually afford a Model X, but can't see myself spending over $100k on any car. Now if they dropped the price to say $70k, well that would be a different story.... but I'm also not the typical high end buyer

Looks good.
That's the one thing I feel Tesla needs bad... Good paint colors.

And no, I'm not talking about cement gray that everyone is doing but nice colors like Lexus's Obsidian Black or Pearl White and put some bling in the colors like this cherry color above.
Major improvement. IMO

Elon begged companies to get into the lithium business saying it was a license to print money. Not much happened and here we are, wonder if this refinery will be a copy/paste scheme like Gigafactory's.

"Tesla Giga Texas has reached the 5,000-unit weekly production rate, equating to a roughly quarter-of-a-million vehicle production capacity with the Model Y"

"Tesla’s Model Y has quickly overtaken its sibling Model 3 in becoming the automaker’s most popular vehicle model. While it quickly became not only the company’s most sought-after car but one of the most popular in the world, Tesla has tried to ramp production as much as possible to keep up with demand"

That's pretty impressive. I feel like the Y is a great size and height - works for just about any situation. My only regret is not making the move sooner than I did.

It's perfect for us. It has plenty of cargo space, and unless we need to seat 8 people, it will almost completely replace our Sienna. It doesn't need maint, and it's cheap to drive, unlike the Sienna which is costing us $70 a week in gas
