M5 hands down the winner. Even the F10 M5 blew away a P100D overall. The quality, ride, handling, fit and finish as well as tech much better on the M5. Just no comparison even.

I have driven the top of the line Tesla and my takeaway was it felt very cheap next to the M5 in almost every way. Sure it might do a romp to 60 a tiny bit faster (maybe less on the F90) but the M5 just keeps pulling and can go all day long without going into limp mode.

I wanted to love the Tesla. I wanted to love it so much I would buy it. For $140k for the top model which didn't even compare to a loaded M5 for 120k there was no way to justify it. I walked away saying the $140k is a $75k car at best. If it was $75k I would have ordered one. Maybe even $80k. But at $140k can't pay that much when Mercedes, BMW, Audi quality, ride, handling, tech, etc is all so much better for so much less.

I sold my F10 M5 ahead of me ordering the new one shortly. I did test drive the new M5 and it is impressive as expected.
