Which car would you pick? Tesla, BMW or Mercedes?
BMW
Mercedes
Tesla. What a car.
Price no object? Mercedes
Mercedes
The Model S LR here in the US is now $75K. 670hp/738tq, 0-60 3.1s, 405 miles of range. The Model S Plaid is now $89,995. Clearly, at those these price points there is nothing in the EV space that gives you what these Model S do for the money, nothing.
Dude all u care about is cheap speed becuase ur an average joe that has never been able to afford a real high end luxury sports car before. When it comes to EVs people want to use them as a luxury cruiser and BMW hit the mark spot on.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z What a rude and dumb comment from your end...
@@user-my4xu4gf1z Hi. I am a man who happens to have mostly driven Mercedes Benz and Audis my entire life. I am quite blessed in that regard. Also drove some BMWs here and there. I know what relatively high end cars feel like. I'd have the Tesla.
Already looked at all three and chose the BMW. I was just the nicest.
Which model / packages did you chose? Did you get it already?
I am soon to take delivery of an i5 eDrive40 M Sport with Tech+/Comfort+. I feel like a kid at Christmas 😅... my impatience to receive it has led me to watching RUclips videos for days 😂. Love this review. I've never driven a tesla, but been a passenger in them, the build quality is awful! The materials feel cheap, definitely doesn’t give that luxury feel you expect for the price tag. I've owned Mercedes, typically AMG-line, and the driving experience left a lot to be desired, so not surprised that's still an issue. I've also owned a BMW and it was far and away the best driving experience of any car I've owned to date. "A BMW is for driving. A Mercedes is for being driven in".
The BMW is the right winner, and impressive it is built on a platform also for hybrid and petrol engines.
Phenomenal videos, absolutely exquisite comparisons. Keep it up lads.
Is that Keanu Reeves?
The model s was completely redesigned in 2021/22. I find it really odd that you repeatedly said it’s been around since 2012. That’s like saying the i5 has been around since the first year it went on sale.
I agree with your verdict, however.
Couple of things:
1. At the end you talk price and say that the Tesla starts at 80,000... but it is a 670hp (which is more than the top trims for the Germans), and it has the same battery as the Plaid. Also it cones standard with air suspension, 22 speaker sound system, 4 wireless chargers (yes two in the back you forgot to mention and cooled seats.
2. You talk about the Tesla's interior as bad, but is has the best headliner, soft touch plastics in the doors (bottom part as well), actually only the cover you showed is cheap.
3. You keep saying its old, but the 2021 facelift, changed the chassis, changed the suspension, the interior, wider track and wider fenders...
I agree its a shame there is no right hand drive and the indicators are annoying. It is the best car here.
Great review. and rare - there is nothing out there comparing those 3 - normally the Plaid / Model S is more comparable to the EQS or i7 - but they are also way higher in pricing / luxury.
BMW i5 I would choose the 40 fully loaded - more then enough power unless you need all wheel drive in the mountains / snow
EQE I just bought the 500E, over the AMG - it comes with all the good stuff included (Hyperscreen, AMG packages, all assistens etc) with the same drive train as the AMG, but way more efficient especially way more then the 53 which is tested here, best compromise for me.
Tesla? No thank you. We have a very good and dense charger network here (why not yet in the UK?) also who buys a car with the steering joke on the wrong side.
Great reviews!
The EQE interior is top notch
I couldn´t agree more - just got one
Great test video. And a worthy winner.
BMW had stepped up in tech and quality. Such a great option.
EQE
The first comparison I’ve seen of these three. Except for the lack of right hand drive, objectively speaking, the Tesla wins.
How does the tesla win? Looks wise and interior wise the bmw is the clear winner. Unless ur using a tesla as a poor mans sports car and can't afford to have another fun weekend real luxury sports car to drive.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z The Tesla is cheaper, faster, more spacious, higher tech than both of these and much better interior quality than the EQE. The EQE's interior is a disgrace to MB, full of cheap, scratchy and hollow plastic. The BMW is not what it used to be - a great handling sports sedan. For the price of these two Germans, I get a Model S Plaid and blow their doors off.
@@richyzig anddd no one would care. Model s legit looks like basic traffic. With plastic rims and the most bland basic almost depression inducing interior u could ever sit in. When u sit in a bmw or mercedes it feels special and expensive. Also ur telling me the tesla has more tech then the bmw when it doesnt even have a HUD,360 cam, etc.. 😂 bmw self driving and auto Parking is better then teslas refer to
Edmunds Car reviews self driving- tesla vs bmw vs Cadillac vs audi (tesla gets last place) also
Rysmons auto park bmw vs tesla vs audi.. tesla again gets last place. Seems to me u have been brainwashed by ur daddy elon that tesla is ahead tech wise while remaining ignorant to the moves being made elsewhere.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z It's obvious, that the difference between me and you is that I have driven all three of these cars and you haven't. I don't need RUclips videos to form my opinion.
Did you ever drive a Tesla S? It is a rattle tin box compared to real luxury cars.
I think the upcoming model 3 ludicrous will be good enough for those eyeing the plaid. LHD only is a big shame for what's such a great car
He mentions the Mercedes has rear wheel steering, but it also standard on the BMW i5 M60!
And the BMW will (shortly) have access to the Tesla charging network.
We picked the BMW M60!
Good choice - sounds like you are in the US? Over here we can use the Tesla network already for longer time
Interesting... I've faced this choice. Only a bit more basic. BMW i5 edrive40, EQE350+ or Tesla model s.
The BMW lacks a bit in the range department. The mercedes is a bit hard to get to like the looks (and a bit to small in the boot). The Tesla is an old car and has unacceptable ergonomics.
Since my car is a company car (self employed), it goes on a financial renting.
The mercedes and BMW are competitive, but the Tesla was €600 a month more.
In the end I picked the i5 (for the next 3 years).
Next? i5 xdrive40 touring with a 95 kWh battery, Audi A6 avant quattro Etron?
How is your experience? Did you like the i5 still?
BMW
Where is the Audi etron gt and Porsche Taycan turbo s and lotus Emeya
which one of these is an executive sedan… none?
@@hardywoodaway9912 none I guess that´s the point :)
Even the MSLR is easily the quickest car there. There was no reason to compare the Plaid to the other two as the Long Range is already so much faster. Now if they were doing a handling comparison, then the Plaid offers torque vectoring which wasn't even turned on in the handling portion of this test which is a shame. Also, they failed to mention the rear seat storage and cupholders, and center console which provides a reasonable space to actually write on. The USB-C ports, on late 2023 and 2024 charge at 35 watts so you can run and charge a laptop for real on them now.
I agree with the overall verdict because Tesla refuses offer right hand drive which is outright dangerous in a left side driving country.
The summary comment that the Tesla went on sale 10 years ago, implying it is more dated is TOTAL RUBBISH. Extremely weak, poorly researched content. Motors, batteries, interiors and build quality has vastly improved over the last 10 years as well as having the latest and superior tech.
Those things are considered as a "facelift", it is not a new model. New drivetrains, suspensions, design features, sometimes changes to the handling and the electronics. Some models have a couple of facelifts in their production lifespan. The Model S is indeed 12 years old.
You completely missed the Tesla’s rear arm rest for outboard passengers. The arm rest contains a dual wireless phone charge pad.
Yea they missed all the sunshades that BMW has on rear and sunroof. Didn’t make a difference really.
BMW for sure
Tesla
I like red bull, but if droven all.
Bmw ok telsla its not it.
Mb its extreme. You feel the car, its havie. But you feel the techniek. Haevy breaking, is bad. Al off them, but track rounds is amg wins it al..
Is like heavy race car..
But you can drive around it.
So if you push it too the limed, its ok. But braking is a issu. Whit all of them. But mb has more balance. And feel better.
Tesla is ok but, you mis the driving handeling. Trust me, mb is extreme..
Tesla with high quality cars in single video ...
BMW looks the best and has the best interior
Bmw ❤
how the hell does a 10 year design Tesla look significantly better than two top German brands EV models? I normally dislike Tesla styling, but the Model S looks elegant and sleek. The german models have too much going on, the front of that Mercedes is fugly.
Tesla hands down. Way more of everything for the money. These reviewers missed so many details and are not fully informed.
Opt for eqe. Most elegant car of those three. Bmw looks terrible.
