Big missing features from Tesla
1 -Sentry mode
2-Autopilot
3-infotainment and app
We own a Model Y
1. Almost never use Sentry mode as our car is parked in a garage most of the time.
2. Autopilot is solid, probably one of the best driver assist implementation in the industry, but even my Kia Telluride has more than adequate lane keep assist and radar cruise control for long boring freeway drivers
3. The infotainment and apps we almost never use, was kind of fun to play with at first, but honestly that stuff is really for people who don't care about cars or driving, not most Porsche owners.

Last weekend we took both cars, MS90D (2016) and Taycan 4S+ to a hotel 133 km (navi) away.

Final stats

On the way to the hotel:
MS90D: 135.3 km, 16.8 kWh/100km used 33% SoC, total 403 km
Taycan: 132.2 km, 15.5 kWh/100km used 23% SoC, total 578 km
this is my conclusion ?:

Tesla is always showing much more distance, may be only 2.x% but this also makes the consumption look 2.x% nicer. Not too much, but that's what most fanboys call "unmatched efficiency".... (would be 17,2 in the above example)
