    Would you buy a new Model S?

    I'm not sure how much range you get in your 90D, but FWIW I get significantly more range with my Taycan than I did with my 2016 75D. I have the smaller battery too and do mostly city driving.

    Model S -> Taycan Review

    I haven't had any updates to my car, but I do have the latest software version that has built in spotify etc. The infotainment is great on my car and they are pushing the newest version that I have to older models, but it seems you have to bring the car in for about 2 days to have it done. As...

    Model S -> Taycan Review

    Quick range update after about a month. Getting 230-250 miles at 85% charge with the smaller battery, have supercharged a couple times and it works flawlessly at about 8 miles per minute.

    Moving from Mercedes E450 to Model S

    Depending on how much long distance travel/range you need, it doesn't seem like the MS is a good car for you. Tesla has range and charging network, acceleration, and infotainment down perfectly. If you don't care about those things and want the least road noise, best build quality, and and...

    Switching from Audi...

    Wow that sucks. They were trying to get me to not do a 24 hr test drive but I said that I needed the 24 hour test drive to make sure it would work for me, I had to be very pushy before they let me take off with the car for the day.

    Switching from Audi...

    For what it's worth, I had a 2016 MS (facelift), and my 2019 BMW 3 series is much better built, much less road noise, better tech (compared to MCU1), etc. I am guessing the BMW is built similar to what you are used to in the Audi. I know build quality is better in the 2021+ and assume that a...

    Model S -> Taycan Review

    I recently made the switch from a 2016.5 Tesla Model S 75D to a 2022 Porsche Taycan RWD. I am going to give my opinions on both, as well as trying to incorporate some things from the refreshed MS as I did a 24 hour test drive on it. The Tech 2016 MS: 4/10 2022 Taycan: 8/10 2022 MS: 9/10 I...

    Exterior Lights Look Yellow?

    I had either 10 or 11 headlight replacements on my MS for the same issue. They were all covered under warranty, until I was out of warranty and they refused to cover them even though I had mentioned how frequently they have failed so there must have been an underlying condition that caused the...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    Just picked up the car today. It is a world of difference from my MS. Everything just feels so solid and well put together. Obviously everything is perfect now so not going to make a detailed review yet, but will come back after I have had it for a while. Attached are some pics for those...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    I agree that I don't think they are necessarily comparable, only in the sense that they are both electric. I think if it's just 1-2 people with around town driving and luxury/build quality is a priority, Taycan is the right car. If you want to be going on road trips with more storage and...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    Hoping it comes sooner rather than later, just had to replace two more door handles and my screen is leaking glue so hopefully that doesn't fail :oops:. I do know I am somewhat going a step back in technology, but I've heard the 22s are a bit better. I mean right now I barely have a functioning...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    Delivery date got pushed back a bit because of Ukraine, and the tracker is now saying that the production has completed and it will arrive mid July. I did receive some production photos which I will attach here

    All of My Tesla Problems

    I think that I ended up getting the onboard charger replaced.

    I Ordered a Taycan

    I didn't. I think the interior of the Taycan looks much better. The interior of the etron doesn't look much better than a Q3 to me personally (I'm sure the materials are better).

    I Ordered a Taycan

    My Tesla has had probably $25,000 of repairs done under warranty ($15k being in headlights) and another $4,000 or so out of warranty.
