As above - I also posted about this on a thread about EVs on one of the other pages. After 4 years and 69000 faultless miles, my S212 350 has now gone and we've bought a Tesla Model 3 Performance. All part of the rationalisation of the fleet now we are both retired - probably don't need more than one car now (though we reserve the right to change our minds on that down the line, of course) and with a real world range approaching 300 miles, this car is both big enough for us and has long enough legs to do what we need it to. And the monthly fuel/running costs will drop by about 80%, which is attractive. The fact that it does a completely ridiculous 0-60 in 3.2s is neither here nor there...!
It drives incredibly smoothly - no gear changes, of course - and I love the silent starts (it also has the non-silent farts, but that's just a bit of Elon nonsense!). The lack of switchgear and conventional dials makes the interior very clean and uncluttered. We were a little concerned about the accessibility of all the controls via the touchscreen, but in fact we find it very intuitive - quite iPad-like.
A few photos. If it's OK, I'll still stick around on the forum - I've been here a long time, and enjoy the quality of discussion here.
