So I ordered a 70D last week and went to do a test drive and to compare various options yesterday (have till tomorrow midnight to change for free). About 2 months ago, I test drove a S85 and that's what basically persuaded me to get a Tesla. When I drove the S85, it was on roads that were basically empty, and I was able to do some launches, and do really fast on ramps. The test drive was also pretty long, probably about 30 mins, and the car felt just great.
Yesterday they were super busy, and I also had to spend some time to compare options, so the drive was much shorter, maybe only about 10 mins, and the roads were pretty crowded. Overall I felt the 70D was slower than the S85 I drove two months ago, which really shouldn't be the case based on stats. I mean basically given the minimal performance stat differences, they should feel about the same. Also the 70D engine(s) are noticeably louder than the S85.
For others who have driven both S85 and 70D, do you feel both cars basically are just about equally quick? I wonder if my experience was significantly affected by the shorter drive and the somewhat crowded streets (not long enough open road/on ramps).
So just want to hear from others on your experiences.
