I don’t think either had an EV option suiting my needs when we bought a Model X? Meaning able to seat 6-7 humans and ~300 miles of range in the battery pack? D

I don’t think either had an EV option suiting my needs when we bought a Model X? Meaning able to seat 6-7 humans and ~300 miles of range in the battery pack? Do they even have a viable option today? (I’m unaware how the Lexus electrification is going.)

As for Toyota, 6-7 humans, it's either hybrid or you're SOL. I think the GP might have been referring to ICE?

Forget Toyota/Lexus, that's a bit of a red herring - the point is that there was literally no competition for Tesla in three-row electric vehicles when you bought yours. Now, you have the choice of a Mercedes-Benz EQB or EQS, a Rivian R1S (as you chose) or a Kia EV9 with Lucid, Hyundai and VW all with products about to enter the market.

  Toyota Motor North America sold over 200k "electrified" vehicles in the first quarter 2024. Their sales alone could account for the unsold Teslas. https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-motor-north-america-reports-march-first-quarter-2024-u-s-sales/ https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-motor-north-america-repo... Those are mostly hybrids, but reportedly, U.S. sales of gas-electric hybrid vehicles surge and electric-vehicle sales cool https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-automakers-race-build-more-hybrids-ev-sales-slow-2024-03-15/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-aut...
