Odd you say that, Tesla’s trajectory appears to be along the lines that it always has been.
I can see why you wouldn’t want another, when all their cars are pretty much the same there’s nothing compelling to say buy another. We all like something new when we buy. I like the Macan too, just a bit small as a family car with two kids. The same went for the Cayenne when I tested one, but would revisit now that pushchairs are no longer part of the equation.

Leaders are paper weights if they don't have consent of the organisation/people (or have an army supporting them). Doing the right thing for Tesla/EV community by continuing to expand the SC network is what he should be supporting at the CEO of Tesla. It looks like he now recognises just how bad a decision he made about a week ago. https://markets.businessinsider.com/...ion-1033364870 |

It was the one criteria I had to enable purchase, fitting 3 seats across the rear bench |

It was more the boot space for me, and in fairness both the immediate family (us four) and the wider family tend to travel heavy

I'm guessing they aren't standard iso fix seats, as I've never come across a car that could fit 3 of them on a rear back seat. We had two in the 540, and the space between was tiny

The seats I chose meet the latest standard and are specifically slimmer than ones I’ve had before. We’d get away with isofix seats if our eldest sat in the middle seat as it is more useable than when we did it in the 4 GC. However the isofix seats I bought for my car somehow ended up in the XC90… |

And let's remember the supercharger team remain fired, it is interesting though to compare and contrast the pedestal the original tesla fanboys and girls put him on and the reality of their demi God now. I don't think Musk has changed as a person it's more that people often just choose to see what they want.

Not that I’m sad with the overall outcome, but it did mean planning to have two 7 seaters became keeping one and going for a larger 5 seater as the second car. Means ultimately we have no redundancy if the XC90 topples over but at least we can fit the driver plus all the kids in the Macan, which we couldn’t in the F36. I’d likely have gone EV if there was a place to charge at work, but with a 200 mile commute (albeit once a week or so), it didn’t seem the right time for me to go full EV, which is a shame given some of the things available at circa £25k… |

Although I haven't test driven a Tesla, I did a few weeks ago sit inside one for the first time, a Model 3 (71 plate) I was surprised at how much I liked it and the weird sense of quality that it gave off despite being very basic, it was at a friends car used lot and I jumped into a nearly new 330e for comparison and preferred the Tesla.
If it makes sense for me at the time then the new Model 3 performance would be a great car to replace the current one when it goes back.

Months later I sat in an iX3 thinking it was a risky move and I’d prefer the interior. But the second thing I touched (a sliding cover) felt awful compared with the Tesla equivalent. And that one thing was enough to spoil the impression. I think maybe it’s not so much that everything in the Tesla is high quality, it’s not. It’s that nothing is poor quality (in contrast to their earlier cars). Same for seat comfort, I imagined after MSport and Land Rover they’d feel awful. But no, they’re great on a short, medium or long journey. Have never caused a single ache and I’m never fiddling around looking for a change in position.
