To get back to the original line of discussion, the Tesla series 3 is currently favorite for what will replace my A class when I change it next year. I can have it with AWD for getting up snowy mountains, fiscally it makes sense for me, I don't do that many long journeys, so reckon I can live with the constraints. It will (just) fit in my parking space at work (which was what made the original Tesla a no-no for me).
