I just bought an RS7 recently, had an RS5, and I owned a p85D (years ago). The fit and finish of the Audi is miles ahead of the Tesla. I love what Elon does with them, but when I compare my neighbors Model S and my RS7 which were similarly priced, it's not in the same ball park. The S Series is the best of them all, practically priced, all the enhanced features, and an enjoyable ride. All that said, I do look forward to another EV. The best part of Audi / Porsche and other higher end manufactures with experience in building more luxury vehicles, is that it will put pressure on Tesla. Congrats on the S6! It's a fantastic car.

Cheers, thanks. Not my first Audi, not my first S either, so I know it’s going to be an excellent car (still being fabricated). IMO you are spot on with the quality remark, especially compared to Teslas. In that aspect Teslas were underwhelming - from the quality of the materials used for the interior, to the infamous door gap issue, to the paint job that causes detailers to charge extra for Teslas, because they require “special handling”. Apparently they improved the material quality in the 2021 model S, but they then had to shoot themselves in a foot with the yoke and the removal of the gear shifter. These two changes make as much sense as putting driver seat backwards and mounting a TV screen in front of them. Yes, looks dope. Yes, can be done. No, shouldn’t be the default, leave alone the only option.
