Tesla was never "luxury"...

...and I'll say that having previously owned a Model S (2019). They may have been priced and marketed as such, but Tesla is a tech company, not a coach-builder. The leather was cheap, fit and finish were average (at best), but the dashboard/display panels looked like Star Trek command and control.

I bought mine used (from a close friend) who had purchased it as an "experiment" into EVs. He sold it to me (two years old) for half what he paid for it, basically so I could do the same. It was mostly comfortable, and relatively trouble-free--I had a couple OTA software updates fail, so I had to reload them manually. I never required road-side or dealer assistance, and it never left me stranded. But it never looked/felt like the $100K car that it was (at original purchase).

My wife and I now own 2 M-B EQS 580 sedans, and they have all of the "luxury" of an S-class M-B ICE vehicle. Fit and finish is all there, and they are very comfortable, but relatively basic in their dashboard displays--just like an ICE S-class.


Get tested, get screened--it saved my life, it could yours too! Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one...
