I pay $278 a month for both Tesla's, full coverage with a $1k deductible through Tesla insurance. They raised my premium almost $400

Aside from the missing features in the Tesla Y (CarPlay, sunshade roof), the fake rugged unpainted wheel wells and the general lack of luxury features, the Model Y is the one to get over the EQS all the way

EQS looks terrible from the front end, the hyper screen while cool for 10 minutes will age horribly long term...such an awful design...does not fit the Mercedes brand image...

Is there a Porsche Cayenne BEV to compare?

You mean the missing features in every other car that are already integrated into Tesla's infotainment system? You mean the lack of features in other cars that are fulfilled by AA and ACP? Is that what you meant?

sure, for a "Porsche" price (more than 2x).

there's also a Macan EV which would be more appropriate 'competition'. still starts of $78k, meaning $90+ when configured

If someone is coming from a Cayenne, the Macan is a downgrade...the Tesla doesn't compare at all with the Cayenne

Not even close. It's only 39 seconds. Have you never had to sit through HR mandated training videos at an employer?
