What car/s did you come from?

[Prachatice]

2013 BMW M5 - luxurious and fast
i3 - got me hooked on electric but wanted more room and luxury

Getting MS 90D next week. Perfect combination of the above. Can't wait!

S replaced 2013 Jag XKR - loved it to death and was afraid to let go in June
X will replace 2014 MB GL450 - love it no more and can't wait to let go in Sept

Cadillac CTS solid American entry into sports sedan

Wanted American technology and manufactured Tesla did that with better performance than any previous car
BMW 3 Wagon great car
Lincoln LS great bargain quirky but fun car jaguar underneath the label. Still do appreciate the sound of a V8.

Infinity G20 practical plain fun
Ford Taurus work only
Chevrolet Suburban .. held half the soccer team
Subaru wagon ... totally reliable and fun
Ford Taurus Wagon ... another work car, this wa san OK car at the time
Oldsmobile Delta 88 Classic Sled good for the long hall
Buick Skyhawk all the money I had could buy
AMC Hornet ... no maintenance that could not be done by me

I came from a Mercedes S550, and cant wait to dump that moneypit. $240 for an oil change... FML!

I just sold my 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, and also plan to sell my 2011 BMW 550i GT. Great cars, but I am done with ICE technology. Going to one car -- a Tesla 60D that I have on order.

 

[NYEVDriver]

2010 Acura TL SH-AWD. Great car but my commutes are about to explode and "needed" a new car

 

[habanero69]

So what did you replace that with?

Black/Black S60 w/PanoRoof, full leather, Tech pkg, Upgraded Sound, and AP. This is my first endeavor into the EV/Tesla world, so if this goes well, I have my eye on the P500D+ with Martian Acceleration package and optional timewarp, or whatever they come up with shortly!

Black Lincoln MKX. I'm very happy to be part of the EV world and don't see myself going back!

Ski

I have a bad back disc, getting in and out is not worth the agony.

 

[rcsting]

i came from a 2015 Porsche Boxster GTS and a 2016 Porsche Macan S. The Tesla is just amazing.

 

[787steve]

Acura NSX. It is being sold to free up garage and cash for the Model S. Sad to see it go, but it's time to leave the ICE age behind.
(But my mother was adopted, so I don't know what I came from on her side.)

 

[suraj1194]

A 2003 e39 M5 .

 

[cheztir]

2010 Lexus HS250h, drove it for 100k+ miles and averaged 40 mpg. My Model S wont end up saving me money through ditching gas but it's worth it to have much better acceleration/performance. Also looking forward to having a usable trunk again.

I came from a Mercedes CLS 550, which I loved. It had tons of power and was very sporty. I can happily say I will never go back to an ICE and I am sold on Tesla. The original S was actually built on the CLS frame and the steering wheel, control stalk and several controls are still made by Mercedes, which makes it a very easy transition from a CLS to a MS.

Say what? Correct me if I'm misunderstanding you but the original model S was not built on a CLS frame. Ignore this post if you are referring to something else.

If by frame you mean chassis that is and has always been a Tesla original design.

Mercedes sold their steering wheel,control stock, and switch gear division to German supplier Thyssen-Krupp. So Tesla now buys those items plus steering wheel column/shaft from Thyssen-Krupp not Mercedes/Daimler.

2013 honda fit ev - still have

2013 fiat 500e - gone in november

2011 mazda miata - smacked into a wall...

nsu prinz shell - in the process of EV conversion.

coming from 2 compliance EVs, the jump to model S was not as jaw-dropping as it would have been from an ICE. its just a larger car so it drives more comfortably.

...oh, and its like 300x quicker.

My previous cars (I replaced 2 cars with my Tesla) were a 2014 Porsche cayman and a 2013 Chevy Volt ("gateway" EV). The Porsche was for weekends, and the Volt was my commuter car. I rarely drove the Porsche, particularly with 3 young kids. My wife has a big family Van that handles my kids and thier million activities.

Very happy with my Tesla and will definitely buy another.
