What's weird is that the Out of Spec/i1Tesla range test, they did 212mi @70 mph at 270Wh/mi (3.7mi per kWh) and still had 22% left.

That's a big difference than Alex on Autos test. I find both sources reputable so I guess it goes to show that YMMV.

I am Looking for Range - Then Tesla Y with 199 miles winter / battery 72.5 kWh versus Mach E with 90kWh is a No Brainer !
Real World Range test will soon ( August ? ) gives us the answer
STAY SAFE

Nothing to do, I can not resign myself to buy Tesla ...

I can not resign myself to buy Tesla ...

For sure some people feel that way.

For me, I don't go through life with such, not sure of best word here, animosity or anger or hatred (?) against products and or other owners. See this with some phone manufacturers also I keep an open mind and make the best decision I can for me.

Besides, once a person buys and gets off these fan sites (both MME and other EV sites) and just enjoy these awesome new EVs, all this drama will fade away. Just the perspective from the OP of this thread. Life is too short to have a mental list of products "I could never buy".

... animosity or anger or hatred

Is it limited to these three nouns or are we allowed to have other reasons for not wanting to buy a Tesla?

It is not a question of judging a product, simply personally I do not like, am not a fan of the look and remain "fearful" of the after-sales service to which we can claim even more in France ... Not the feeling that these vehicles match me.

Exactly! I have been enjoying the Model 3 and have not been on the boards much since I bought it. Part of me figured life is short and I can always sell it if I am not happy. Plus I wanted to experience an EV sooner rather than later in case COVID-19 came after me. ? The Model 3 is setting the bar for me and I can now just sit back and monitor all the new EVs coming out and make an informed decision in the future. I always tell my friends that I want to try/own many different cars before I get stuck driving a golf cart in a retirement community.

Attention let's be clear, I do not criticize those who bought Tesla and especially not Tesla for taking the risk of investing massively in EV, we must congratulate them for having been pioneers and for having moved the lines, opening other perspectives to more traditionalist manufacturers. I just don't feel comfortable with the look and the service in France, but it's strictly personal.

Model Y is easily gonna be the most popular Tesla. There are probably 4-5 Model 3s within two blocks of me now and that'll likely double with the Y. After driving an Outback for 5 years, I don't want to have the same car as everyone else anymore.

I am leaning towards telling the dealer to change my reservation from Premium AWD ER to GT.

1) Wife thinks GT looks better
2) 3.X seconds 0-60 will forever be quick
3) 98% of my drives are within 200mi of my house so range isn't too worrisome
4) 235 width tires makes sense

My hesitation is because

a) more range is always better on road trips
b) 5.5s 0-60 isn't THAT slow
c) GT doesn't come out til Spring 2021
d) GT options are gonna cost me $$

I have the Jaguar I-Pace in the garage for only 6 days and I'm not looking back, but I still love the look and performance of the Mach E GT. I was thinking Grabber Blue or whatever the undisclosed color will be. Alas, it will be a curious outside looking in thing for me going forward. Obviously, I highly recommend the GT version for you!

Good luck in either case!

Not looking back either. Was that your I-Pace in my I-Pace's rear view mirror?
