Probably get pounded for saying this because it's not positive and likely beaten to death, but the MS just isn't keeping up with alternatives in the price range. Note: I'm pro-Tesla, pro-electric. However I think the early concept of "no compromise" was right. A 100D or P100D is an expensive car and buyers should expect a lot.
Drove my wife's 2019 BMW X7 and the interior, electronics, creature comforts, steering feel, basically everything is better than my 2018 MS. And I generally dislike big SUVs - I can only imagine what the latest tricked out 5-series must be like.
I have a full monty deposit down on the Roadster but I'm getting nervous about Tesla's plans to actually build the car. Seems (and probably appropriately so) that their focus is elsewhere. Maybe they shouldn't have taken $250K deposits on a car they didn't have a solid plan to build, but I digress.
Unless Tesla builds the Roadster or does a full model changeover (not a BS refresh) I wonder if I can continue to drive what feels like a 2012 car in 2020. For now I'm going to continue to love never going to the gas station, the convenience of AP, etc. But as Porsche, BMW (and others) continue to refine their cars the value prop of Tesla for the luxury (no compromise) buyer is eroding quickly.
