That thing is really quick but would you trade your E63s for one? Personally, I don't care for them no matter how quick or fast they are and they are certainly no climate saving machine either (check out how just Lithium (Li) is obtained). Anyway, I plan on keeping my wagon for a very long time as it's fun and practical too.
Cheers to you all!

There will always be something, other than Tesla, out there which are much faster. I plan to keep my 18 wagon for as long as possible.

There's always something faster. Tesla's are modern cars, they're not luxury cars by any stretch.

Personally, I'm ok with being faster than 99.9% of cars out there...this wagon "hauls", in both senses of the word!

Thanks for the replies one and all! I agree with everything mentioned too. These wagons are something else being both quick, fast and very practical. Plus, for the most part they "fly under the radar" which is just the way I like it.

Fast is overrated. I get sick every time I drive or ride in a Taycan Turbo S. Cars have become too fast and emotionless.

Nope, no trade. They are fast, but not a luxury car. A model S wagon would be cool though.

Funny how they never show videos of it in the curves. I think they're trying to make a modified version scoot around the Nürburgring in some decent time, but I've never talked to a Tesla driver that felt the car was that great in the turns.

Regardless of how fast it is, but does it sound like an E63s? Both neighbors have Teslas and have offered me rides numerous times but have no desire what so ever. Heck I would prefer my 2002 E55 with headers/exhaust and tune over any Tesla any time of the day. The roar of an AMG is priceless.

IMHO, there is no soul while driving a Tesla from the built quality, looks or the sound.
