"If you bought a C400 were you "really" considering a Model S?"
That is exactly what the Mercedes sales rep asked me too :) Honestly, I was willing to spend more to get an EV. In general the whole concept of an EV is just something I have a passion for and want to see being successful. Unfortunatly, the Tesla really just did not live up to the expectations I had...and if I was going to buy a car that was not electric, I did not want to spend the same amount.
Put the Tesla electrics in the C-class and i'd gladly throw an extra 30-40k at it.
Edit: If you have not seen the 2015 C class, i'd suggest checking it out. It is a very big step up from the C class of previous years.
- johnward 11y agoI have not been in the most recent C-Class. I don't know but I think the Model 3 will fall short on luxuriousness on the interior also. Tesla is targeting the 3 series, so who knows? I'm anxiously awaiting the Model 3 announcement. It may have just been the dealer I went to but they seem to be kind of pretentious. Anything I questioned I was wrong because "Mercedes does it the right way". I find this funny considering that Audi is eating up market share.
- verelo 11y agoYeah I'm very interested in the Model 3 too. If they keep the drive quality of the Model S and improve the interior, i think they'll have a killer product on their hands. The exterior is already great, its just missing that polish that justifies its cost. Personally I found all the dealers out of Tesla, Mercedes and Audi (Unexpectedly not the BMW) to be a bit pretentious, but I guess it comes with the territory.
