People have been saying this for 5 years now and Tesla didn’t even invent the electric car. Also... who complains about how loud a Tesla is?

People have been saying this for 5 years now and Tesla didn’t even invent the electric car.
Also... who complains about how loud a Tesla is?
- clouddrover 7y ago> who complains about how loud a Tesla is? People who have driven in a Mercedes EQC.
- virgilp 7y agoI.e. the Mercedes CEO? Also for the other two.... really? Who t.f. wants voice control in their car? Better lights are nice, sure... but it's a minor improvement (most people drive most of the time by day, and even by night, all car lights are "good enough". I paid 2K EUR to get better lights in my car, and they're great when I have to use them, but even I wouldn't have picked my car based on this criteria.... I even hesitated to give the extra money!)
- clouddrover 7y agoThe EQC also has better fit and finish and is cheaper than the Model X. Compare UK prices for the EQC: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/eqc/specs https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/eqc/specs And the Model X: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/modelx/design?redirect=no#battery https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/modelx/design?redirect=no#batter...

- petre 7y agoMercedes has a voice controlled GPS navigator in older C models. It never understood where you want to go and the text input is atrouciously useless, just like the TV on screen keyboards. If you had it, you'd probably ended up using a paper map since it has way better ergonomics.
- FDSGSG 7y ago> Better lights are nice, sure... but it's a minor improvement I love my fancy $10k headlights, they're a huge improvement when speeding through euro highways in the middle of the night. There's just nowhere for the cops (or anything else) to hide.

- xedeon 7y agoYeah.. I've been hearing this since the Tesla Roasters came out in 2008. Yet, nothing in the market has yet to compete with the 2012 Model S when it comes to range/performance.
- clouddrover 7y agoHere's the Porsche Taycan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP9kokeyxGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP9kokeyxGU If you try to do the same in a Model S you'll just overheat it.
- FDSGSG 7y agoDunno, at Autobahn speeds (~155mph) both the 3 and S seemed way noisier than a 3L straight-six BMW 7er. Tons of road noise, tons of wind noise. Although the Teslas had worse tires on them.
- tomatocracy 7y agoPart of the problem with Tesla though is that things like the stock tyres really aren't as good as they should be for a car costing what they do.
- FDSGSG 7y agoTesla isn't the only one making poor tire choices, the BMW G12 came with awful noisy all season run-flats. At least they were rated for appropriate speeds though. Given that Tesla isn't even trying to make nice cars the bad tires seem far less surprising.
- davidgould 7y agoThe Model 3 Performance comes with the excellent Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. No complaints here.
