I can't fathom most GS owners actually wanting to switch to a soulless, range limited, overpriced piece of crap with terrible QC. Then again these days a lot of lux car buyers are the "rent and throw away" archetype, so I see that as a possibility.

I get close to that with my GS 350, but my driving is far from spirited.

Although the Tesla is my daily driver, I still have the GS 350 because I feel like I need a gas car as backup. The Tesla is a joy to drive but I definitely don't recommend owning a Tesla without warranty though.
I'm also in the same boat. I have a 2013 GS F-Sport as well and wanted an extra vehicle in the household with more cargo space, awd, and some decent performance. Ended up picking up a 2017 Model D 75D almost 2 years ago. The Tesla is also my daily driver and the GS is my back up gas car.

I don't think I would give up the GS since it's more funner to drive, has a better interior, better fit and finish, along with having more comfortable seats. However, the GS can't match the acceleration from the electric motors of the tesla. I have to agree with some others here that besides having some cool features, the Tesla interiors seem a bit bland. Had a Nema 14-50 outlet installed in the garage so that I have level 2 charging at home and also have free supercharging for as long as I have the car. This makes it our primary road trip car as well.

I have a friend that has a Tesla Model S P1000D with Ludicrous mode. Fun car! But it's time for Tesla vehicles to advance from the 'startup company interior' looks they all have.

I have a heavy foot and I don't baby my car, so it often gets a good workout.

Remember, that's with purely city driving and 0 highway driving. If I can manage to get onto a highway for commuting, then I can get 33+ easy, especially if I can keep my tires at optimal PSI.
