So, it’s been about a month since I’ve had my GTS sedan coming from a Tesla model 3 performance. I’ve had 911’s, Macans, boxsters, Cayennes….
Here’s some random thoughts ….
The Good:
The car is quality in every way. The fit, finish, comfort all extraordinary.
The handling for a large car is phenomenal
The car is just so dang pretty..
The PCBB’s are next level and no brake dust?
Visibility toward front is fantastic, it feels like your one with the road in jet cockpit
Love the computerized sound, they nailed it. Although I only use it in sport plus I really feels it adds another element to the driving experience
Charges fairly quick on a level 2 Tesla charger, I haven’t had to use electrify network yet
Rear axle steering is awesome and glad I specced it
They nailed the gearing, the car has tons of torque even at 80+, the Tesla would drop off significantly much earlier
Ambient lighting at night is very beautiful
The PCM does taking getting used to, but I think people on here are overly critical of the PCM - I don’t mind it
Performance, handling - awesome and that’s on all season tires
The NOT so Awesome …
The visibility out of the rear window is tolerable but not awesome ..
The car is LOW, have to be careful…
I’m an athletic 145lbs 5’8 very fit guy and this car is cumbersome to get in and out of - when I had my rather large older dad drive it I thought we would have to call an ambulance to get him out ?
The app battery range and the car battery range often times dont line up - for instance , this morning app showed 245 (on charger), when I got in it showed about 212. Drove about a mile , went down to 192. It was was 37 degrees outside.
The Bose system is average, I’m not an audiophile but do enjoy good sound.
I hate carrying around a key again ..
Takes me very long to park , but that’s because I’m crazy and will only park in certain spots.
Back seats are ok, but for people 5’8 and under
Not sure if this is good or bad , but the white mission E is a neck snapper. There is no hiding in this car, people oogle over it.
Monday we pick up my wife’s new Land Rover Range Rover. She got her 23” blacked out wheels with the black optic package. These are both “milestone” vehicles for us. We worked our ass off, and we rewarded ourself with some of the things we only dreamed of …I had tremendous amounts of guilt spending this kind of $ on cars. I have an overly critical conservative accountant father and I don’t come from $. It’s amazing at 48 years old the gravity of dads words…
I’ve done lots of self introspection and finally at peace with our purchases -
Work hard, play hard, celebrate the wins. Screw the haters and people passing judgement, there will be many - treat people the way you want to be treated.
Hope you liked my random thoughts and some find it useful, thanks for all of you who helped answer all my questions these past few months. Stay safe out there,
