From a dig, Model X annihilates the M5. From top end, M5 blows it away.

Why I went to the P100D...
-I moved to CA, this castrated mods you can do and pass emissions.
-I have a 2 year old and a 3.5 year old. The car is smooth, quiet, doesnt shake the house down on cold start and wake up family and piss off neighbors
-Seats 6 COMFORTABLY
-Has autolearn for pre-conditioning of the temperature inside the vehicle.
-Autopilot makes traffic much more enjoyable
-Usable power down low - keeps you out of trouble
-Fun Tech stuff and big screen
-No More paying for gas
-100's of less components to break over traditional car
-OTA Updates often - at my home - without doing anything
-Way better reverse camera
-Built in audio streaming free

What I miss:
-I miss the turbo sounds, exhaust sounds, getting sideways
-I miss the top end power
-I miss the ability to do coding of advanced features
-I miss just rolling up to a gas station in a pinch to get more miles if needed
-I miss the overhead camera view
-I dont miss the get yourself molested active seats

It's a more practical car with fun tech and great performance. Maybe when kids are older, back to something funner.
The biggest annoyance for me on the MX P100DL is battery drain. It is so heavy that if you drive it hard, it doesn't last long. I can barely get 200km per charge.
