How was specifically rear legroom model x vs r1s?

Also, I agree about the visualization. Coolest feature of tesla.

We’ve had a 2018 Model X, Polestar 2, Rivian R1T, and our Air Touring.

Your assessment is spot on, except I would have rated our Model X a little lower in a few categories, but it was before the recent upgrades.

Model-X is almost unusable for adults, unless the 6 seats configuration have adult in 3 row stretch legs.

I had 2017 and 2018 Model X few times. This was updated based on 2022 Model X with yoke.

I think that yoke is something. It’s acceptable, but putting stalk onto yoke as buttons is very questionable, especially the horn button is moving whenever steering wheel is spinning. Personally, I think that is flaw for safety risk.

2nd row of the R1S must be very good then… I fit into a model x despite being 5 11 so now I am excited for the gravity!

Thanks for sharing!! Add one more item for cargo capacity? Personally, I think AGT is topnotch, comparable to most SUVs.

Yup, it actually has more than a model y and close to the model x combined!
