Just picked up a used 2017 S550e with 50k miles a few days back and I am in love!
I am an EV technician by trade and come from a background of working on and owning EV’s, with the most “premium” car I had prior to the S class was the P85D which had some amazing memories.
But now that I have experienced PHEV S-class, things are at a whole new level with this car in its manufacturing and refinement. I wish EV’s could afford to be outfitted better on the interiors, and luxury models are pretty unreliable (ipace, etron, Tesla)
I’ll be posting some questions in the other forums so be sure to follow along!

Welcome to the zoo!
Would you say the lux in a Musk car meets the same as in your new S boat? I also had an S boat

S class is far more refined, traditional, opulent, etc... Even my wife’s Bolt EV feels like a more complete and proper built car vs any Tesla...
