EQS is a completely different experience. Amazing suspension and comfortable, but nowhere near reactive and fun as Taycan.
Didn’t like the RAS on it either. Prob great for professional chauffeurs in a big city though:)
I suspect that unless Tesla ups their game on quality and driving experience, it will become a lower margin, mass-produced brand. Nothing wrong with that but the early mover cachet is dwindling quickly.
They've already discontinued the RHD versions of Model S and X.
IMHO most "custom kitted" cars regardless of brand and body type end up looking marginally to completely out of place, except for sports cars on the race track perhaps where the utility makes sense (for some, presumably)
Had an EQS 450+ for an extended test drive, and it definitely feels (close) to an S-class in the driving experience i.e. fantastically smooth and comfortable though the RAS took a while to get used to. Generally also find the interior in MB a bit plastic.

Everything with the current Tesla lineup screams mass production and appeal, including the display size and UX. Have only driven the Model 3, but it's pleasant enough and actually fairly responsive and fun to drive.

With all the "windfall" O&G revenue the Norwegian state is generating from current energy prices you'd think reintroducing VAT on EVs would not be a priority.
On a related note, it will be interesting to see whether UK will extend the currently low BiK and other tax benefits for EV owners post...
Agree - just have a hard time with the build and in particular interior quality of Aston Martin's - nowhere close to as good as Porsche. Also the infotainment seems terribly dated in their cars including the newly released models. But esthetically they are a slam dunk, no doubt.
