So as per the other thread, the X5 is most likely a write off and I'm starting to look for a new car.

I've narrowed it down to:

BMW X5 PHEV 45e/50e - just get another one
BMW iX 50/60 - Kids are older now, but I give up the split tail gate
Polestar 3 - It's $1000/m and only for a year

In a very distant 4th and 5th and 6th
Lucid Gravity Touring - I'm really not sure about beta testing for Lucid for a car that I need to just work
VW ID Buzz - 26k off nuff said - but the depreciation on this thing is going to be absolutely mental.
Rivan R1T - it's 145k for base + options and it really doesn't fit in my garage all that well.

But what am I overlooking?

I'd recommend against the Polestar 3 because even from just casually following it in a few social media groups, it seems like the vehicle isn't quite fully baked yet. It drives well when it works, but it also seems like enough owners have come across situations where the vehicle would just drop the ball one way or another. Sometimes it's just the smaller glitches. Other times it may much bigger stuff like not charging, door won't open, etc.

In your shoes, I would consider another 45e/50e or iX since that's been on your radar. Would you consider a Kia EV9?

Heard the 50e is having battery pack issues and so is the EV9.

From what you’ve told me about road trip requirements, I suggest against EV9 because the trip planner and pre-conditioning is so bad that it’s unusable.

R1T suspension and steering are so alert that it’s annoying to drive for more than 20 minutes.

My preference if I were in your shoes would be iX > 45e > ID Buzz

Lucid air. 960 bucks a month. Good for 3 years lease and then return it and get something else.

For the same price: f150 lightening. Now when she smashes shit, the other person will be written off Bahahaha. Get it and rent to people who need a truck for a day. Turo can recoup cost quite quickly.

After all those warranty issues you still want another x5 ?!?? You’re nuts.

Get a RZ then. Aren’t they giving these pieces of shits away ?
