Nothing against Tesla, I would love to have a Tesla in concept the product itself just isn't for me.

Its not going to impact my decision about what I buy, but anybody would get tired of people constantly arguing with them about liking their own car. Thats why "care" is in parentheses. The same people rehash the same opinions over and over whenever this particular car comes up and then argue with you because you disagree. Would I enjoy that happening every time I post a picture of my car? No lol

Gotcha. I hope you wouldn't let that stop you from enjoying the i7 and sharing your journey with it here if you were to go that route. I think it's a wonderful car and I like the styling a lot, it's really grown on me. And just remember, the majority of the people that are constantly rehashing those negative opinions likely can't even afford the car, so it really doesn't mean a whole lot. I'd let it brush off

Inside??? What’s inside besides a small gaming monitor for a screen?🧐 The quality is hit or miss, sometimes mostly miss. My friend’s 6 month old MY has interior and exterior rattles that’s been serviced and it’s still rattling. It’s been in for service 3x times already for quality issues. If I’m not mistaken, your charge port door is misaligned.

Not here to bash Tesla but I’ve come to learn on this forum when it comes to EV, there are other options.
​​​​​​ I've owned and driven numerous cars over my lifetime, and own several EV's and have driven most of the top EV'S (and reviewed them), and Tesla is by far, IMO of course, the best car I've ever owned. There are cars that have things like better comfort and suspension, but it doesn't mean they are good cars. Tesla has the highest customer loyalty of any other brand, so it's not just me.

BTW I understand not everyone is going to like Tesla's, like SW who wants more luxury, doesn't like how it looks, and I'm fine with that. Yes there are other choices, and I always encourage people to buy what suits them. But I stand by it being the best car I've ever owned

This is hilarious. I remember back when I bought my 2013 ES. There was this one guy who always came into that forum just to bash the cheap interior quality of it. Over and over again. Do you remember that guy? LOL

I do remember that, and that was driven by my own frustration with Lexus over those changes since I wanted to like that car myself, but it was rude. I apologize for that.

You drive the flashiest Lexus ever made lol Everywhere you go it makes everybody look at you.
haha... 'flashiest lexus' is like the tallest little person.

the lc is high quality and styish but i wouldn't say it's flashy, especially not inside. doesn't even have ambient lighting.

This car isn't flashy?


definitely is. i see little point in the hyperscreen or SO MUCH ambient lighting.

I don't like most Teslas, but I don't post repeatedly in any discussion of these Teslas how ugly I think they are and argue with everybody who likes them like you two do in ANY discussion of the new 7.
no, you reserve those comments for the EQS. every. single. time.

Its tall because of the batteries coupled with the space. If the i7 had no batteries it could be lower and still have the same vertical height to the cabin.

You might be surprised to know the new 7 is only like 1 inch taller than the new S Class...

Not talking about the inside, the outside. Its one of the flashiest most attention grabbing cars on the road.

When the car was first revealed I posted my opinions on the subject, but I don't continue to do so unless its the topic of the conversation.

Sounds like i7 is about twice the price of the Model S (roughly $70k vs $140k). I'd have a hard time justifying 2x the price of the i7.

Not just you i7 is really struggling. Bmw has ramped up incentives and this month are including a wallbox charger and installation up to 2k if you buy/lease one. But pretty much every dealer is trying to give them away.
