The price is definitely a notch higher. And I am not sure if that is really reflected in the build quality as others claim. I will follow
@Tigers advice and check it out. The showroom is open to anyone during the week (on the weekend it's only for reservation holders).
I did a lot of research on the MS and drove it a few times. It's an outstanding car that just saw the refresh I was hoping for to place the order. And IMHO it's lightyears ahead of the traditional OEMs. Looking at their EVs reminds me of the "lipstick on a pig" meme - they are still very much like ICE cars, just with a few tweaks here and there, a mediocre battery, and an electric motor. Those OEMs rely on their reputation, their loyal clients, and their network to sell, not by introducing cutting-edge features and performance.
And one last thought about the complaining/bitching/ranting/apologies/theories: That is part of the waiting game. What else are you going to do?
