I find it odd that there's so much discussion about this. It's pretty simple, and I think everyone understands how they compare if you just list the facts: It's in the same price-class as S-class/7-series, but since operating costs are lower it still attracts E-class/7-series customers. It's nearer to the high end classes when it comes to tech-factor and autonomy. It's also arguably in a class of its own when it comes to software and OTA updates. It's in a class of its own when it comes to engine performance, since BMW and Mercedes don't have EVs in that segment. EVs have very different performance characteristics, but Tesla is arguably better in many ways. It's in the E-class/5-Series segment in fit and finish and various luxury features. I think the Model S is attracting S-class/7-series customers, without a doubt. I'm sure some of those would sacrifice fit and finish for the unique experience that the Model S delivers. But it doesn't attract everyone in that market. That goes without saying.
