Why ditch the Tesla? Despite its attributes I'm beginning to dislike the Company and the way it operates. The car is inferior to the C43 in a number of ways, sat nav, cruise control and other support functions and I hate the touch screen. It is devoid of character and just bland.
Interesting you say that.
Musk is a massive part of the reason I have never considered one. Add to that the aesthetics (which don't appeal to me), the way the company conduct themselves (see my first point), the constant complaints I hear about build quality and, in spite of them nailing the network drawback, I just can't get enthusiastic about them.
The moment you can turn the car horn into a "fart noise", is exact same time I know your product is aimed at a demographic I am not part of. Oh, and the interiors... blah; you can do simple and elegant far better: Polestar being a current example.
So, Peter, for me it is the Plus 8 / C43 or C43 and get a Plus 4... or tempt SWMBO into a A45s AMG and get a Plus 4 or keep Tarka...
...sorry, zero help there; however, I understand why you've decided the Tesla isn't for you.
