Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

Fair enough. They are decent vehicles. I will make one point - I said Porsches drive better, not that they ride better. Teslas are still pretty much muscle cars in the fact that they aren’t that fun to drive except for flooring it in a straight line.
Are we talking about the Taycan? I’ve driven the turbo s and while it was a great sporty ride. I’m not sure if it felt better than model s with adaptive air suspension… close, sure, maybe corners were better in the porche…
But the problem is the battery range of that whole drivetrain is just rubbish, same goes for e tron which has the same base. The range was abysmal. One pedal driving was worse for sure. I dislike cars which will roll and that has put sever sore points into my drive. Comfort and interior was top notch. Same with space and even the boot is great. It is a cool car, just priced like a porche.
