The other thing that jumps out from that chart is that despite doubling the battery size, they apparently don't fit a bigger charger to the X5? That's nuts. The 530e was already damn near impossible to charge on a 120V outlet. I guess a 240V 30A charger would help a lot, but jeez.

Ah, I thought you drove the earlier 5 hybrid. Hmmm. Maybe you come at it from the uber perspective of a Tesla owner? Rather than an ICE owner looking for any kind of electric progress.
PS: Ex is picking up her Y (which is funny to hear in my head) even as we speak. We are swapping our son tonight, so I'll see it shortly.
I'd get a Tesla in a heartbeat, if it filled the function of my pleasure convertible. But with the hauling machine, part of the goal is to be able to do long drives without worry.
