That just sounds pathetic.
That's completely irrelevant. This is a PHEV, not a BEV.
The range of the Model X is much higher because that's literally the range of the car. The "range" of this car is easily more than the Model X.

You can't compare the "total" range of one car with the "electric-only" range of another.
I think that most people, and me to, are afraid to do road trips with a full electric car. Most daily driving wouldn't be a problem for most.

Our ski holiday for example is a 1000 km trip. That would need a lot of charging. This year this lead to huge waiting times at supercharges because half of Europe went skiing. So I wouldn't be happy with that.

If charging infrastructure improves voor all cars ( not only Tesla supercharger), a range of 600 km like the latest model S and faster charging times I would consider a full electric car.

For now I am really happy with the 45e. Silent drive in town. Instant electric torque. Six in line for power and sound. No range anxiety. Nice car to drive and good finish.
