I did the same comparison and went with the X7. At the time our build was about the same price as the X, but the X is much smaller inside and we didn’t want to stop at SC on trips to Florida. The other problem with the X is the falcon wing doors. And the build quality doesn’t hold up like the X7 over time. The seats in the X7 are also much more comfortable. Also, DAPP is much more reliable than FSD or autopilot on the interstate. Phantom braking happens to me too often in our Tesla. The kids absolutely love the X7 and have better sight lines than in the X. Also the windows up above in the Tesla are annoying, especially the windshield. Third row heated seats and HVAC is a huge plus along with its own moonroof in the X7. Gas savings to go with the X doesn’t outweigh the issues listed above. Hope that helps
