Model S is nothing like a 7 series or an S class. These are both executive cars and their class is decided on wheel base. In the EU a Model S is an S-segment car, whereas the 7 series and S class are F-segment cars. The two don't even compare.

You could compare a P100D to an F10 M5, which is 4,288lb - almost 600lb lighter than the Model S.

Ok, 15% heavier. Nobody compares a model S to a 3 series is my point.

I didn’t realize the 7 had grown so much (126” wheelbase is nuts)

IIRC wheelbase of the 330e is 2.85m the Model S is 2.95m the 530e is 2.975m.

I really don’t see that many problems with comparing the Model S to either tbh.
