Why do people compare the Model S to the S Class?

Based on 20,000 annual miles driven

12 cents per kwh electricity
3 / kwh
$755 (free with Supercharger)
>S Class
2.80 dollars per gallon premium gasoline
20 mpg
$2,800

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE NOT INCLUDING SHARED COMPONENTS (I.E TIRES, WIPERS)
>Tesla
$ 50/year battery coolant change
$850/year in battery replacement cost (after 10 years at $100/kwh projected cost)
>S Class
$ 600/year in oil changes
$ 400/year in brake replacements
$1000/year miscellaneous maintenance

($1800 annually for tires/etc and insurance)

DEPRECIATION
>Tesla
$6500/year
>S Class
$7728/year

COST AFTER 10 YEARS
>Tesla
$99550 (If providing your own electricity and paying for replacement of 85kwh battery)
>S Class

The Tesla is much cheaper to own, looks better, is faster.

Interior still looks like gm garbage by comparison.

I would rather have a tesla as a daily driver than an s class though simply because of how economical it is

Would still keep my bimmer for fun driving

I'm getting that Tesla

the mercedes interior looks like it was literally made for black people

What do you mean? I agree that the air vents might be a tad excessive and there's no need for wood on the steering wheel but otherwise it seems much nicer by comparison

Um shit like THIS does not help.

everything is fucking shiny

does anyone know how the tesla awd models don't lose any efficiency vs rwd models? i know that in gasoline cars, awd sucks a lot more power and gas

Marketing
Also the ability to send power anywhere at anytime with no drive train losses.
But the added weight and rotating mass does reduce efficiency, just not like full time AWD does on a car.

R u srs?

The Tesla interior looks like a child's play area compared to the s class.

S-Class is an art piece.

Model S is an appliance.

fucking playskool tier

that car looks like it has 50k+ in upgrades

>600/year in oil changes
shit i didnt know 2 bottles of oil cost 600 bucks

s class basically invented modern car safety

Thinking the battery will last 10 years, it's the same as your laptop or mobile phone only treated worse.

Replacing just the 18650 cells will set you back $40k unless you use cheap chinisium cells.

That explains why the rest of the car is so shit, they have no money left for it.

They'll be like cordless tool manufacturers and make the cost of the replacement pack almost as much as a new car.

Probably, look at the replacement parts cost for CAT plant.

So you never have to change the brakes on a tesla?

Where are the $1000 replacement door handles on the Model S every four years?

They sell most units at cost or at a loss, parts and aftersale support is where the real money lies. Hook them with a cheap bait and reel them in with an unbreakable line.

They're compared regularly because their MSRP is similar.

However, the S class is much more luxurious, and much better equipped, and that's what counts in the full-size market.

You are saying that merc owners replace their brakes every year?

Nice try tesla shill but come back when you guys can actually make a decent car.

>(free with Supercharger)
They won't be free for very long.

>premium gasoline
Doesn't need it. You can reduce total fuel costs to about 2400.

>$ 600/year in oil changes

250 dollars at most, but an average of 100-150. Let's stick to 150 then.

>$ 400/year in brake replacements
Brakes are a 900 dollar job, but they don't need to be done every two years, more like every 4-5 years. I'd budget something like 200 dollars a year.

>DEPRECIATION
Where'd you pull those numbers out of your ass?

>0-60
The only metric where the Tesla will ever outperform anything. Try and have it a run a lap around the 'ring.

>The Tesla is much cheaper to own,
It better be.
>looks better
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. No.
Seriously, a well-equipped C-class could give it a run for it's money in terms of interior design and quality. Nevermind the flagship of MB.
>is faster.
In one irrelevant metric, gets curbstomped everywhere else.

good bait rofl
not a fan of modern s classes bit everything you said is just an insult
