The other issue here is that Tesla is a small company that is currently being hammered in the stock market. The larger companies (i.e. Audi, etc. etc) have deeper pockets and will offer better electric cars in the future. Tesla had the market initially to themselves, but now will have to compete with everyone.

I'm not sure I like their chances.

I like Tesla's chances, but don't like their chrome door handles, front grille, headlights, seating, spartan cockpit arrangement and limited superchargers (Illinois)

So that basically sums it up! In beauty, performance, and range, the Tesla is simply no match for the S7 (not surprised).

Range? From the article: "At 288 miles, the Model S 90D's range..."

I get just over 600 miles on a full tank in my A7 TDI.

I'm a previous 16' A7 owner. Unfortunately my vehicle was involved in flooding so I'm back to the car search. I test drove the tesla 90 this past Friday and was incredibly impressed. The accelerator was fluid and the ride incredibly smooth. But I just am not a fan of the styling. To be honest it reminds me of a dodge intrepid 2.0. Just not my style. Also not a huge fan of the huge tablet being the control center. A little too much for me though I do love tech. I think I'm going with a 17' A7 after all. May consider the 17' 6 series but unless they've made significant upgrades to the tech. Audi still wins
