I have a love/hate relationship with the X. The 2016 S is simply a better built machine. Feels more substantial all around. The speed and tech in the X is amazing.I had a 2023 Model X Plaid, so I can tell you a few things. The truck feels very solid and somewhat more refined then the Model X. Mostly due to the ambient lighting at night, better steering wheel (and button turn signals which is better!), better stereo system, less road noise, and the suspension seems better as well.
The Beast launches as well as the Plaid X from a stop, and feels just as powerful all around to about 70mph. After 70mph it is no where near as fast as a Plaid on a highway pull which is just fine, it's still plenty fast. But on a Plaid, the extra almost 200hp is clearly for 70mph+ because the Beasts 845hp is the same experience under those speeds as mentioned.
Overall, it's a much better vehicle than the X imo, especially because it doesn't creak and rattle when turning due to those weird falcon doors. The body is very rigid and the whole thing feels like a metal tank.
