Our deposit is down and my wife is incredibly excited, but we're planning on doing some comparison shopping -- the problem is, what to compare to?
Ignoring the EV component and the performance issue (i.e. the 0-60 time) where does the S fit in? Those that have seen/sat in the betas -- where's the car fit in luxury-wise? If we're in the market for a $60,000 - $80,000 -ish luxury car (5-series, Audi A/S6 or A/S7, E-class, Panamera, Lexus GS (?ISF)) where does the S fit in with these? No doubt, we're willing to pay a premium for an EV (no need to justify it by prices at the pump, tax credits, etc.), but as Musk would put it, we're looking for a luxury car that happens to be electric (and not the other way around).
