Why do people compare the Model S to the S Class?

>>17448288
Interior still looks like gm garbage by comparison.

I would rather have a tesla as a daily driver than an s class though simply because of how economical it is

Would still keep my bimmer for fun driving

I'm getting that Tesla

the mercedes interior looks like it was literally made for black people

>>17448321
What do you mean? I agree that the air vents might be a tad excessive and there's no need for wood on the steering wheel but otherwise it seems much nicer by comparison

Um shit like THIS does not help.

>>17448321
everything is fucking shiny

does anyone know how the tesla awd models don't lose any efficiency vs rwd models? i know that in gasoline cars, awd sucks a lot more power and gas

>>17448430
Marketing
Also the ability to send power anywhere at anytime with no drive train losses.
But the added weight and rotating mass does reduce efficiency, just not like full time AWD does on a car.

R u srs?

The Tesla interior looks like a child's play area compared to the s class.

S-Class is an art piece.

Model S is an appliance.

fucking playskool tier

>>17448529
that car looks like it has 50k+ in upgrades

>600/year in oil changes
shit i didnt know 2 bottles of oil cost 600 bucks

>>17448288
s class basically invented modern car safety

>>17448288
Thinking the battery will last 10 years, it's the same as your laptop or mobile phone only treated worse.

Replacing just the 18650 cells will set you back $40k unless you use cheap chinisium cells.

>>17449097
That explains why the rest of the car is so shit, they have no money left for it.

>>17449097
They'll be like cordless tool manufacturers and make the cost of the replacement pack almost as much as a new car.

>>17449107
Probably, look at the replacement parts cost for CAT plant.

>>17448288
So you never have to change the brakes on a tesla?

Where are the $1000 replacement door handles on the Model S every four years?

>>17449110
They sell most units at cost or at a loss, parts and aftersale support is where the real money lies. Hook them with a cheap bait and reel them in with an unbreakable line.

>>17448288
They're compared regularly because their MSRP is similar.

However, the S class is much more luxurious, and much better equipped, and that's what counts in the full-size market.

>>17448288
You are saying that merc owners replace their brakes every year?

Nice try tesla shill but come back when you guys can actually make a decent car.

>(free with Supercharger)
They won't be free for very long.

>premium gasoline
Doesn't need it. You can reduce total fuel costs to about 2400.

>$ 600/year in oil changes
https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/222559-how-much-oil-change-dealer.html
250 dollars at most, but an average of 100-150. Let's stick to 150 then.

>$ 400/year in brake replacements
Brakes are a 900 dollar job, but they don't need to be done every two years, more like every 4-5 years. I'd budget something like 200 dollars a year.

>DEPRECIATION
Where'd you pull those numbers out of your ass?

>0-60
The only metric where the Tesla will ever outperform anything. Try and have it a run a lap around the 'ring.

>The Tesla is much cheaper to own,
It better be.
>looks better
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. No.
Seriously, a well-equipped C-class could give it a run for it's money in terms of interior design and quality. Nevermind the flagship of MB.
>is faster.
In one irrelevant metric, gets curbstomped everywhere else.
