Also what "risk" are we talking about with the app? The fact that you don't have to talk to a service advisor and can just drop your car off, and pick it up whenever? |

Nice write up, soooma ! I know someone else who switched from a Model S performance to an M8 after owning 9 Teslas. You read that right — 9 of them. Model S, Model X, and several variants as Tesla improved power and Autopilot. What he discovered while looking at the new Plaid was that Tesla is managing its design and assembly costs by carrying over controls and other interior elements from the Model 3 and Model Y. He couldn't justify spending $150,000 USD on something that looked like a $55,000 Model 3 on the inside and without a dedicated gauge cluster and HUD. He went to the M8 without ever having owned a BMW in his life.
At any rate, both of your cars are beautiful. Love the color choices. Ciao! |

This follows the trend I've been seeing. I now know more FORMER Tesla owners than people who actually drive Teslas.

Thanks for the pic's. It just reaffirms my thinking. That M5 is a beautiful car. The Tesla is flat out ugly. And I don't think I could ever get past the lack of the exhaust sound.
Faster isn't always funner is definitely true. |

Lol indeed, teslas definitely leave a lot to desire in the looks department, but that acceleration is nothing to scoff at. Like even my 2019 model s performance doing a launch you can tell is significantly faster than my m5. But that'd really all they have is speed and the self driving gimmick. (Which again would've been nice in the pouring rain today when I had the m5🤣🤣

Looks like we're the same haha, my m5 can run your 4 runner for the mpg honestly, but also have an old chevy 2500hd for hauling stuff that gets about 8 mpg🤣🤣🤣. (Or 5 mpg when towing a car)

And now Tesla is the stuck up company by not admitting to its failures or even being willing to address them. At least bmw started adding cupholders and started listening to customers when they complained about stuff |
