There are a few "quirks" that make this car a hard NO for me. 1) The yoke. 2) predictive gears/gear shifting using the screen. Everything else like lack of stalks, buttons for horns etc I can get over

I think I'd pick this over a Model S Plaid. Imagine trolling 911 Turbo S with a giant 6k lb SUV

You're overthinking this. The predictive gear selection can be overrided anytime using the screen to just shift into R or D. Also, the screen can be overrided by using the capacitive touch buttons below (double failsafe). Also, the Yoke may have a round wheel equivalent soon for countries that don't allow the Yoke. If you can afford a $120k car, you can afford a grand or two to get that other steering wheel part.

. It does the quarter mile in 9.75s...its pretty quick

I guess if I drove it and felt that 1000 plus hp I would probably change my mind, but my wife doesn't really care about hp, instant torque and beating 911 Turbo S's, if you know what I mean

I hate the way the X looks, so it would still be S for me.

I was behind one of these the other day. Was surprised to see the plaid emblem on the back.
My slow GS had no problem keeping up with it...in the 20 mph school zone...

Yeah, I wouldn't even play that game with any Tesla, much less a Plaid. Although most Tesla drivers here drive like granny

i just saw one and passed it in my rx, looks like most other model x.
Old lady driving it at speed limit on a long staright road on the left lane
.
i dont know why just not get the long range? Almost seems like they want to buy the most expensive car/model

Slow Vette drivers are even worse. Just don't understand why.
