- FireBeyond 9y agoNo-one's saying they have to be. Just that you can't really claim with a straight face "Oh, it competes with German luxury flagships and wins... if you aren't concerned with interiors" (or ignore that most of the tech is similar, and really that the singular difference in many respects is the lack of ICE).
- greglindahl 9y agoI can't really claim that I like what I like? I'm not supposed to disagree with your opinion that "the singular difference in many respects is the lack of ICE"? I mean, I've always been aware that many people don't like Tesla's interiors, and don't place much value in the things that Tesla owners place value in. Heck, I'm sure a majority of people don't agree with my opinions. But I wasn't aware until now that my opinion was invalid.
- FireBeyond 9y agoYour opinion isn't invalid. But what are some of these other differences that make Tesla "contemporary" and 7 series, S class, A8Ls "dinosaurs"?
- greglindahl 9y agoThat's easy to answer: I didn't say either. If you'd like to know what I, personally, find awesome about Model S, it's the quiet straight-line acceleration, the modernistic interior design, and that it doesn't burn dinosaur juice. (I know people dispute all of these, but those are my personal favorites.)
- erikpukinskis 9y agoWhat car would you point to that has all of the software and robotics features of the Model X, except the electric drivetrain?
- greglindahl 9y agoI'm not an expert on the whole car market, but I don't think any other car has a huge touchscreen, and the modernist/minimalist interior is also unusual. If you recall earlier discussions of this car, lots of people don't like either. Both of these things certainly could be done by other car companies.
