It is a tough comparison. E class starts at $52k USD, Tesla Model S at $72k (no fed tax credit, and the 60 will be discontinued soon so jumps to $78k w/ the 75), S class at $97k.

Model S tops out at $160k, S class at ~$250k w/ a S65 or technically a Maybach.

Interior and luxury the S class wins for sure. Performance and tech the Tesla wins.

Are you sure that Tesla's tech is significantly better than that of a S class? The S class Benz has been at the forefront of safety tech for over a decade now; I recall it having adaptive cruise control in 2005 or so.
I didn't write significantly. Anecdotally, it is better (I own both). Highway self-driving, OTA updates, situational awareness, screens, auto Homelink, GPS air suspension, etc.
Ah, since you own both, I'll take your word for it.
:) just one opinion
An informed opinion. Most people would probably have tried only one of them.
