"You cant go home again Yesterday I test drove a Model S Plaid. The Model S was the first electric car that shocked & convinced me that EVs could be better than their ICE competition. Then the Plaid came out mind blown. 🤯 I absolutely loved my [--] MS Plaid. I had hoped that Tesla would do a real update of the MS Plaid instead of the light refresh last year. Then last week came the announcement that MS & MX would sunset this year & it was the end of the line. 😢 Many of us were sad & disappointed leading us to pour one out for what was a revolutionary car that many of us dearly loved.

"First the MS Plaid is currently $120k add Track Pack & its $20k more. Second I didnt pay $250k for the Sapphire. Comparing cars is what I do. The whole point is Tesla could step their game up & choose not to. Im sorry you are defensive about your car. The write up was more a love letter about the Model S than you read deep enough to consider. Many of us have been a fan of that car long before many ever heard of Tesla. 😉 Glad you enjoy your Plaid. I loved mine which was the whole point"

"There is a lot about luxury that is taste specific but materials & features have a lot to do with it. Ride handling & NVH cant be experienced just sitting in a car. MS while really good & improved is nowhere close to being on the level of Lucid Mercedes BMW Volvo or Porsche in terms of chassis engineering. Even the Japanese luxury divisions are better.
