The Tesla S was my dream car.  Right up until the last redesign when they ruined it.  I am hoping Inifiniti/Lexus/Acura will come up with something.

Hardly  changed the outside inside is different, you can keep that steering wheel, I ordered the Cybertruck tri-motor.

My brother has had the twin motor S for 4.5 years and loves It.

Two things ruined it.  That stupid-ass square steering wheel, and the stupid TV-on-a-stick crap.  I would want a nice integrated screen, portrait, like it had before, and a REAL dashboard and REAL controls, like it had before.

It has been outside my reasonable price range.  I have been monitoring it for quite some time, hoping the prices would drop, then they ruined it.  So, with any luck, the Japanese luxury sport segment will encroach with some reasonable offerings.  Certainly is taking a looooooooong time.....

I don't care for the Model 3 looks thought you might be thinking of it?

The S looks like the Maserati 4 door It has the lowest drag of any car made 5 star safety rating,

The base price of the pick up  truck is $40,000 cheep

Unlike the Model S, the Model 3 is incredibly ugly.

And now Tesla made the S's interior design and function much closer to the 3.  Stupid mucking with turn signals, and removal of wiper stalk too, square steering "wheel", landscape display,   TV-on-a-stick, non-wrapping straight dash, lack of air vent controls, lack of any tactile controls, smaller/less functional driver-center display.  Instead of improving the interior, they did the exact opposite.

Um..... no.

I did seriously consider buying a Q50 RS400 a few months ago.  The G37S is now 12 years old.  It only has 35K miles on it, and it is in mint condition, but the "tech" is quite old now and lacked some features I really want.  Anyway, the RS400 was not available in any color I really liked and the price was crazy.  Otherwise, it was extremely compelling.  My original plan was that my next car would be an electric, rather than ICE, luxury sport sedan.   I decided to just keep waiting.
