Important story on the competition

I think most of you will find this quite interesting. I hope I’m placing it in the correct forum.

Your post is almost clickbait. The link is about the ongoing competition between Tesla and Apple, and how Tesla's Model S design hasn't changed in 10 years.

Tesla's interiors still suck, and the Model 3 is the worst car I've ever driven, and I've driven a lot of cars. But they're selling like hotcakes, which is good for the planet and them, driving MB, Apple, and others to accelerate their EV push, which is good news all around.

I went from a S550 to a All Terrain while I wait to read the reviews of the EQS. I also watched a video on the Lucid Air where it drove 500 miles. I have not checked the cost yet of the Lucid. I have driven a MB for 40 years but with each car I feel a little less impressed. Streamliner said in a post that MB HQ won't care if the owner is not happy. That worries me. You can only call the Customer Assistance center weekdays and then you have to wait at least have an hour on hold to talk to a person who is reading a script. If you are not in a metro area you can wait a day for a local tow truck. Jbatten is correct about the interior of Tesla. For my next car I will shop around. Forgive my rantings.

I hope the EQS is a new start.
