Genesis showed a prototype convertible EV that looks pretty sharp. What are the odds this will see production before the Tesla Roadster?Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any carmaker makes a convertible EV.

My 2016.5 is approaching the 8 year warranty, and while I promised myself years ago I’d never consider keeping it after that date I am having a hard time letting go—I just love the sunroof too much. Have looked at other brands like Fisker Ocean but it’s just not the same as my S. Was curious if others are in my position too—refusing to upgrade because of sunroof.

Me Too was one of the biggest reasons i got the carMy 2016.5 is approaching the 8 year warranty, and while I promised myself years ago I’d never consider keeping it after that date I am having a hard time letting go—I just love the sunroof too much.

I believe ASC built the sunroof mechanism, leaks were due to poor install by tesla (mfg issues)There were two versions of the sunroof. The first one was problematic. I'm not aware of excessive issues with the second.
Regardless, I think the guy who's building a rocket to Mars can probably handle making a sunroof that doesn't leak.
Also holding on to my 2016 Model S for the foreseeable future. No goes for a new Model S in my view: No pano roof, plastic seats instead of leather, no stalks, loss of USS. Also not a fan of the landscape oriented screen - I want my navigation map displayed in the best way, I watch movies on my 120" projection screen at home. And it pains me to say, Elon Musk is no longer a person I want to support with my money.
When it is time to replace the Model S, I highly doubt my next car will be a Tesla.
EQS is tempting, if a bit on the expensive side - especially when figuring the options.What's your thoughts on the EQS? She ain't pretty but has real leather, pano roof, USS, stalks, Apple Carplay and a really good range.
I noticed during the recent Carmudgeon Show podcast which was a follow-up to the Hagerty Cybertruck video, reviewer Jason Cammisa referred to the Mercedes as "the worst consumer product ever" but then weakly walked it back a moment later with a quiet "not really." Didn't really say the thought process behind that perception - probably the styling which of course is by far the weakest part of the car. I sold an AMG E63 when I bought Tesla, and while I appreciate the brand there's no way I would own any of the EQ's because of the way they look. Styling is subjective, but I think that's a commonly held viewpoint, given the crazy leases MB is doing.What's your thoughts on the EQS?

Oh no doubt about it. The EQS is the kinds of looks only mother could love. But I'm too old to give a hoot what others think about what I drive. I just want an EV that baths me in ultra luxury.I noticed during the recent Carmudgeon Show podcast which was a follow-up to the Hagerty Cybertruck video, reviewer Jason Cammisa referred to the Mercedes as "the worst consumer product ever" but then weakly walked it back a moment later with a quiet "not really."
