In some ways it’s one of the last bad new cars in existence…

And I choose the wording carefully. It is fully fit for purpose for replacing an old school Defender or Land Cruiser and is excellent off road. However no concessions have been made for driving on road as a consequence - it is an old school body on frame.

Totally.

The only way Tesla survives and thrives financially long-term is if the self-driving infrastructure is successfully commercialized to the fullest extent, and a significant part of that is commercial trucking at all scales. I'm not at all inclined to ever

Nice machine!

Microfiber headliner too! Very important to have a nice headliner material. I can't get used to the "fishnet" material in my Tesla Model 3. My previous car had the nicer Alcantara headliner. The designer of the car used to frequent our website. Luc D. And

All the car companies market their batteries as being module replaceable.

But this really isn't something customers are asking for. This is really something insurance companies are asking for and warranty companies. Consumers think they want this, but I can tell you less than 1% have actually done this - partially because batte

Mine is a December 2018 build and a 2018 model year.

The battery has definitely aged; and I could never get the original advertised range on the highway (not even close). I'd say it's lost about 20% (or slightly more) of its original capacity in about 5.5 years. According to the Tesla degradation charts, I'

I was considering the second generation CLS63 with the 5.5 liter engine with 577 horsepowers.

That seemed impressive. And my biggest motivation was that I heard it would consume a lot less fuel - as a friend who had a 2016 model year CLS 63 AMG S 4 Matic told me he was averaging over 20 mpg (around 11.7 liters per 100km) in his commute. This was n

The regenerative braking does have different levels.

The regenerative braking does have different levels on BMW i4 models. And I can tell you, in my experience, you do get used to the deceleration and you do adapt to it by letting off the gas pedal much slower. #2, Regarding idling forward (aka creep forwar

Cannot conclusively comment on the Tesla…

As I never lived with it long enough. At my previous employer Teslas were removed from the fleet within 6 months as they had a breakdown rate that was horrendous and no reasonable aftersales service. And once I had a Model X as a taxi and the infotainment
