I agree with Busters post. Tesla’s are for people interested in tech, not cars. There is no emotion in driving a Tesla. I also find the styling either extremely bland or extremely weird depending.

Isn't that why you can have a daily and a weekend car?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also, the Model S styling is top notch. The Model 3... EH.

I think the best compromise is an AMG with all of the AP bells and whistles. Party when you want, but convenience when you just need to get somewhere.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The best comparison to the model 3 is a Nissan GTR. Point and shoot and just gets the job done. But yea, it’s an emotionless experience.
I don’t care if you’re a car guy or not, bumper to bumper traffic you’ll love self driving features. The way I use it in the E, flip it on in rush hour, traffic eases up, take control and enjoy.

Serious question, what does one do while autopilot is on in rush hour traffic? I can't look at my phone because that'll be distracted driving... Maybe nap?!
Ultracrepidarian
Considering Tesla owners?
I assume they give themselves road head?

I don’t rely on it for my whole trip, just the boring parts. Still enjoy the driving when there’s clear roads.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Decent improvement, shaved some time off
To be fair, that's probably all tire, going from P4S to Cup 2's.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Really smart of Tesla to go this route, great advertising getting a well known driver to do give feedback and show behind the scenes on chassis and stability control tuning. This is basically what happens with random unknown german every time a camo'd manufacturer car hits the ring to dial in drivability and performance.

It’s pretty quick. On par with a Cayman GT4 and M4 with cup tires.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If my E53 is delayed past the new year, I might go for it. $91k loaded is tempting. If Tesla has a lease for it, I’d have one by now. Throw the key(card)s back after 3 years if I end up with a POS.

I have no idea, but they sure spent a lot of time discussing software changes, which made for a cool story. An apples to apples comparison would be nice. If it's all tire, that's quite a piece of fanfiction (and great marketing). A lot of people like that Tesla is pretty much the only car that can continue adding value and features after delivery, so people don't hold off on a purchase due to FOMO from next year's model.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I almost decided to jump in when they announced the price drop and pre-2019 delivery if you buy now, since it'll be the last chance for US residents before the $7500 tax rebate is gone for good. Still not feeling it though. Also probably would have if they had a lease option. Plus it's not like I'm going to track the thing, I just hate having to pay attention in our constant stop and go traffic.
Tesla’s and MB’s systems are so good at self driving in bumper to bumper traffic, if I was in any major US city, it’s a no brainer. The stress level is zero. I don’t even give a fuck if I’m slower than chasing lanes anymore, and that’s Calgary traffic. I have access to a P100D in Bay Area and it’s designed for Cali roads and traffic. Pure stress free. Those little bumper to bumper pockets on the freeway is just frustration driving on my own. The Tesla just self adjusts.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My biggest problem with the Tesla is just missing the basics in a lot of areas. No blind spot detection, shitty Bluetooth phone quality, no iPod integration, there’s Bluetooth streaming but zero access to your playlists. I mean fuck, I had that shit in my 2007 OEM systems. As you can see, I’m trying to convince myself I can get over those limitations. Tesla fans just tell me to let the car change lanes using autopilot and use their streaming radio setup, and slap on airpods lol.
A couple of my coworkers have Tesla’s, one being my boss, who randomly struggles on our morning meetings because he does those from his car. Constant small issues that he doesn’t even bother to get serviced because they give him a Chrysler minivan for weeks at a time as a loaner to fix small shit. Just lives with the problems now and only goes in for big ticket fixes lol.
