I’ll be glad to let you drive my Model S. Just come to Little Rock!

How about Pittman? Great win today.

By the way, I have 5K miles on my MS. I still thrill at the acceleration. I still drive it when I have no reason to to so except fun. I absolutely love the car. I cussed Tesla every day when I was waiting for delivery. I still think the customer service sucks. But I love the product. It’s...

I don’t know. But I assure you that we have we have the 450 with the hyper screen. I think the EQS is a little quieter but not by much. They are pretty comparable.

I haven’t been on here for awhile but I promised a comparison when we received my wife’s Mercedes EQS 450. We picked it up yesterday. Customer service. Mercedes wins by a mile. They gave us an estimated delivery of mid 2022. They kept us informed at every step. They delivered far earlier...

I ordered in April and took delivery in September. I arranged financing when I ordered. I never had to renew it. I think you’re fine arranging financing now.

Everyone on this thread knows how atrocious Tesla‘s communication/information is. But let me contrast that with Mercedes. We ordered an EQS in the summer for my wife. We were told it might be two years before delivery. About a month ago we were told the car was in production. Today we were...

Many pages ago someone posed a question about real world range of the Model S. I have a LR with 19’ wheels. I just completed an 1100 mile trip. i averaged 287 Wh/mi. My lifetime average in this car is 269. I got 77-78 actual miles for 100 estimated miles. So the highway mileage at 70-75...

That was exactly my wife’s reaction. She said that range will get her anywhere she wants to go.

EQS ordered.

That sounds like fun. Drive 40 miles and trickle charge!

Both. My wife has had a Mercedes for years.

We didn’t either. We were initially told delivery would probably be fall of next year. But things progressed quickly and the dealer told us we will have one of the first EQS in the mid-south. I greatly prefer under promising and over delivering.

I have not, but I will. Thanks.

Will you please quit talking about me?

My last four vehicles have been Chevy Tahoes. I love them. They are spacious and comfortable. If Chevy made an electric Tahoe with a 400 mile range and a great charging network I’d be all over it.

Lucid looks promising. The range is very good. My primary criteria are range and charging network. I enjoy the acceleration and power of the Tesla but that is secondary. Tesla is still the best using my criteria. But that will change within two years. Lucid and EQS are both comparable to...

I think this is mostly right. There will be no competition on performance. My wife ordered the 450 which is about 6 seconds 0-60. The EQS will probably win hands down on luxury and comfort. Range will be comparable. The EQS may have a slight edge. Nothing yet compares to the supercharger...

I average 276 w/m. What makes me nervous is that there are NO public or level 2 chargers to fall back on between Little Rock and Jackson.

MS LR With 19’s. I’ll probably average 70 mph because most of the trip is not freeway. I’m willing to go to 15%.

I have an off topic question. We’ll, maybe it’s on topic because most of this thread is off topic. I’m going to Gulf Shores from Little Rock in a couple of weeks for a week on the beach. The Tesla trip planner routes me to the Monroe, La. supercharger which is about 175 miles from Little Rock...

Just an update. After 1200 miles I still love my long range. I’ve had absolutely no problems. And I still giggle when I floor it. Just a great vehicle. I reported earlier that my wife ordered a Mercedes EQS but decided she wanted a MS after driving mine several times. She ordered the MS...

I previously posted that we ordered an EQS for my wife. She loves Mercedes and has driven one for years. She told me today that she wants to cancel the order and order a Model S. I am flabbergasted. I never thought she’d drive anything but a Mercedes but she loves the MS L R. Now let’s see...

That car is gorgeous. I’m partial to white cars but that red really pops.

It makes no sense. I hope you get your car ASAP.

I wasn't being critical. I agree with you. I was just really curious. I'm an old guy so take that into consideration but I've been over 100mph in my LR only once, and that may be the only time!

The red really pops. It looks great. Just curious. How often do you go 105-120 mph?

Heck, I knew that. I just didn't know Tesla navigation didn't have them. That's why I thought it must be something else. Sorry for the ignorance.

I’ll admit my ignorance. What are waypoints?

Great review. The reviews seem to keep getting better. The only constant complaint is the horn. With such brilliant engineering what the heck?

I know we’ve beat Tesla’s customer relations/communications problem to death but allow me to compare/contrast. My wife loves Mercedes. She’s driven one for years. She wanted an EQS so we ordered one about six weeks ago. We were told that there was no reasonable estimate of a delivery date but...

I picked up my long range Friday. I posted my initial impressions. Today I spent an hour inspecting the exterior and interior looking for flaws/defects. I found two. The left front hood panel gap is not perfect. I had to run my finger over it to confirm that it is not perfectly aligned. I...

I agree except I don’t think the horn is well thought out.

That was my analysis but I’m not knocking the Mach e. It’s a very nice, comfortable vehicle. If I had never encountered the Model S I would have been happy with it.

Just a couple more impressions. This is my first Tesla. I’ve driven a couple of earlier Model 3s owned by friends. The interior was much too Spartan for me. That’s not true for the current Model S. The interior is very comfortable and in no way Spartan. The ride is very comfortable and...

I picked up my long range at Chesterfield (St. Louis) this morning. Delivery. About an hour before pickup I received a text saying I needed to make a final payment because they don’t accept certified checks. I responded by noting that the Tesla website states that certified checks are...

I’m in St. Louis to pick up my long range tomorrow. I walked through the lot and saw a MSM with white interior. They really exist.

You may be right. I'm not a technical guy at all. But, I think Mercedes and GM have the resources and the determination to build a good EV. Time will tell.

I didn't know there was another Arkansan on here. I'm in Little Rock. What area are you in?

I got tired of waiting on my MSLR and bought a Mustang Mach e about a month ago. I thought I would cancel my MS order. At the same time I ordered an EQS thinking that it would be about 2 years to delivery. I didn’t cancel my MS order and I’m taking delivery on Friday. And I’ve been notified...

I followed your advice and called this morning. I talked to a very nice, knowledgeable and helpful young man. This was the result, almost immediately: Delivery Appointment Sept. 3, 2021 at 10:00 AM St. Louis-Chesterfield 16955 Chesterfield Airport Road Chesterfield, MO 63005-1405 Many thanks...

Many thanks. I’ll call in the morning.

So I got a VIN yesterday. My EDD changed to August 27-31. I’ve never had a SA. I’ve never talked to anyone at Tesla. I don’t have a MVPA yet. I called the St. Louis SC. Got an answering machine and left a message. No callback yet. Obviously there will be no delivery by August 31...

I have a VIN 5YJSA1E54MF43. EDD IS NOW August 27-30.

Thanks. I was about to post that. Sorry about the page number.

“I wish the yoke had a tilt, but I'll adjust to it as is just fine.” See page 49 of the owner’s manual. It details how to adjust the tilt.

My EDD narrowed from September 5-25 to September 4-18.
