A Mercedes S class owner from Beijing wrote a very in-depth impressions article of the P85D after driving it for two weeks.

Quck google-fu highlight translation

* Charging network in the Chinese market has not been perfect yet
* Very recognizable front headlight. Rear more mediocre, feels a bit like Mazda 6
* Lack of LED lights regrettable
* P85D interior Model S has been greatly improved compared to the previous model
* Rear seats lack headrest angle adjustment, lowest position still a little bit high
* No adjustable seat belt height
* Control screen, resolution or size are far superior than the average car. No problems at night.
* Car stereo ranks within the top three he has ever heard (high fidelity audio)
* Electromagnetic interference coming out through the speakers when phones in storage space in the bottom of the bottom
* Water bottles will often swing back and forth in front dual cup holders, often hit the elbow on the armrest
* Extremely flat rear floor, dramatically improves the ride comfort of the middle rear passenger
* Next-gen rear seats not practical in actual use. 10 cm raised cushion inconvenient when leaving from the back seats
* Fixed rear head rests influence rear visibility.
* Rear view camera with wider angle than other cars is great
* More upright rear seats limit headroom
* Britax / Roemer KIDFIX SICT ISOFIX child safety seats dangling with headrests, become unusable
* Same problem with Britax EVOLVA 1-2-3 plus (non-ISOFIX) child safety seat
* Shunyi District lacks supercharger nearby
* Last car with similar APP feature was BMW i3, but compared to Tesla lacks keyless drive function
* P85D's feels more comfortable than friends' P85. 21-inch wheels with a thin sidewall tires also reduce comfort.
* Straight line acceleration performance P85D absolutely breathtaking, easy to drive.
* No roaring noise, so the driver is always able to maintain a state of calm. Supercar performance, but can be manipulated much safer.
* Tesla's dash interface is simple and clear
* P85D appearance is difficult to distinguish from other model variants.
* Travelled 618.4 kilometers, total energy consumption 158.3 kWh.
* Electricity costs only 1/10 what the S65 L AMG 630 X5M woud using gas
* Almost no maintenance, Tesla's advantage is very obvious.
* Ongoing software upgrades constantly revitalize the P85D and keep up with the latest technological developments
* Hopes his article serves as a advice and inspiration for future improvements.
