Possibly, but absolute speed is even more important than acceleration.

Or in a 9000 pound (I’m not kidding) Hummer… 110mph should be more than adequate for almost everyone including for passing but track/autobahn goers may disagree.

Probably a combination of weight, height and range conservation played into this 110mph limit. I quickly googled top speed for a bunch of gas trucks and EVs and such low speeds are not uncommon for either.

Sorry I meant MPH.

If Merc gave me an EQS and FORCED me to keep it, I guess I might keep it too ;)

Absolutely, the Tesla charging experience is excellent and I imagine far superior to 3rd party right now. I’ve only ever had issues twice over 3 years, so even better than 98% I would assume and I haven’t seen any evidence of widespread issues! Here’s hoping these 3rd party charger kinks and...

Didn’t know their top speed was limited to 110 km! Not that anyone should drive at those speeds outside of autobahn type no speed limit roads but I wonder what the reason/rationale behind this was. Perhaps they can increase this with a software update? On the other hand, the 3 second 0 to 60...

Non-Tesla DC fast chargers are growing at a rapid clip and Supercharger network will be opened up too. The charging infrastructure should be adequate in most places in ~2 to 3 years. No car company has their own gas stations and the third party gas infrastructure took time to build out as well...

Have you seen the EQS reviews? Better than Model S.

I wonder what the 250 mile version will cost. The 400 mile has a $10k premium.

Actually, the Model is a vehicle they do recommend. As per them, it is the most reliable Tesla.

What’s the consensus on city streets FSD timeline?

When is FSD expected to be reasonably accurate and safe for city street driving?

Will Tesla ever implement capacitive touch sensing on the steering wheel or eye monitoring instead of the steering wheel nags which are kind of annoying?

Yea, I’m hedging my bets and don’t mind waiting 1 or 2 years. With used car values as high as they are, I’m considering getting a decent EV until some FSD/Ultra Cruise level L2/L3 is available (had a Model 3 before but now on an ICE).
