Did you have the same clothes and sit in the car for the same amount of time? Otherwise I would expect that you get the same problem again. I suggest you see a doctor about your sores, that would probably be more helpful than ordering a car with another interior color.

Honestly this is just stupid. First of all that rash is ridiculous (meaning that it looks like nothing), there's nothing saying that you couldn't or won't get a similar rash from a Tesla Model 3 with white interior. Did you wear the exact same clothes and sit in it for the same amount of time...

Have you set the mirrors how you want them while in reverse? If not I don't think they will tilt down.

I think the main problem here is that Tesla packages almost everything and make it unavailable as a single option. Most car companies make packages of several options, so instead of choosing the most common features they bundle it up and make it a package with some discount. But you can still...

Ok well in Europe it is not, so not really a relevant comprison then for us europeans at least. Why are they limited in the US?

I can't be bothered to actually check the exact numbers but there is no chance in hell that those top speed numbers are correct for the BMW 640 and the Audi A7 quattro with 333 hp.

Well since it's field quality issue I guess and hope all brands would do.

Handling is not related to whether the car has 21" wheels or 19". In fact it's more likely that the 19" would have better handling since you can make a 19" rim lighter.

I think 6.2 seems like a great improvement, and I think some people here just expect the impossible. From an engineering point of view over the air updates will never be able to increase the range by any significant number, it's not magic what they are doing at Tesla.

Off course, but the problem (at least for the OP) is that the engine in the Tesla doesn't have it's peak torque when at high rpm (like an ICE), thus it feels slower than another 700 hp car with a gearbox would do at speeds like 60-100, especially when you don't have a gearbox. However since the...

Some extra weight to account for a gearbox. Or you could change the current gearing, but that would mean slower initial acceleration.

Only way to adress that is with a gearbox, I think it would be a good idea with maybe a 3-speed gearbox. That should be sufficient.

Well as with all large engineering projects you can't just allocate any engineer to just focus on a different area, they have engineers specialized in various fields and you can't just focus all engineering resources on different parts of projects as you wish. Or well you can but then you'd have...

I what way would a battery swap eliminate range anxiety? Would there be a lot more places to change batteries than there are superchargers?

You are aware that your are not using 470 hp at all times? And using 200 HP would be a lot, kW is a measure of power and horsepower is as well, and as you probably have noticed in your car you rarely go above 20-60 kW when just cruising. Also since an electrical engine is so much more energy...
