Let us know. I've sat in the Tesla line-up more or less from the X to the S...and while the written performance is impressive...that interior is just...meh. Just cannot get used to or like that giant tablet console. And the interior just feels..."off". Not impressed for the price.

This is why when I'm going to spring for an e-car, it'll be from probably the Germans or even Japanese. I sat in the Audi e-tron and frankly, loved it. Very cool. Kills the Tesla interior...obviously, performance may not be as nice but hey...whatever. If you are considering e-car, there's Jaguar's I-Pace?

Some of the reviews I've seen of the Tesla talk about the quality issues, and one line stuck out amongst them all - it went something along the lines of "don't let their large market share fool you, this is a car that does not have the quality control of a mass production manufacturer".

The Audi doesn't do anything for me. It's too bloated looking. But, the Mach-E (I refuse to call it a Mustang) looks interesting.

Compared to the others though, Tesla typically has the fastest cars with the longest range. But I know getting into any electric car within the next year is just getting in on an early technology. The batteries take a while to charge. They have issues in colder temps. The range isn't there. And charging stations aren't as plentiful as some would hope.

So it's settled. E63S Estate.

Good choice. Tesla are fast, i have tried my boss's P100D... But it does not give me the same satisfaction as a V8 screaming ...

Kind of funny how Tesla has turned out to be just like the other domestic manufacturers. Generally unbeatable performance for the price, but questionable interior quality, and the lack of that special je ne sais quoi.

From talking to people who have worked at Tesla, I have heard the same thing echoed about quality control.

Yep; and the panel gaps, and the crappy paint jobs, etc. However, the early photos of the Model Y show that it's a higher quality vehicle compared to the 3, so maybe they're moving in the right direction?

Small wheelbase
Probably for the best, but without the limiter it pushes ~168 mph
It's way faster than anyone should be going, still faster than the current Model 3

It's quite a lot faster with the two pedal transmission.

Golf R certainly doesn't sound like a basic bitch

A fast, practical (4 seats) car with a 4cyl. Seems like a winner.
Just pop on over to Sweden & pick one up. I'm sure Christian will cut you a deal.

I'd like to think of it as a tailored suit utilizing fabric with enough elasticity to scissor kick a muthafukha if they don't come correct.

That said, solid choice Morgan!

I've got three active search alerts going (cars, autotrader and truecar), plus a few people keeping an eye out for me. Right now, I'm mainly looking to see if I spot trends. I'll be taking the parts off the R towards the end of summer and I'm aiming for Fall/early winter to get into the E, when more 2018/2019 lease returns start popping up. I'd prefer to get a CPO car from MB, but I'm not opposed to getting one through Carmax either (with extended warranty).

The female is already on board - at least that's what I'm telling myself whenever she says "whatever makes you happy". Might be a trap, but at least I'll get my wagon

She wouldn't. Her only reservation with the E was the price, but that's because she sees cars as an appliance. I had a hard time getting her into a $27k CRV because she thought it was too expensive
