As the comment response goes -- the GP was a great troll. "a better car in every single regard (except for range)" is pure nerd bait.

I'm not denying the Model S is a great package. It clearly is. It scores high on a number of features. But like in any complex market with lots of variables -- there are other choices. Even to go through GP's list: safer (Not sure what it has that is safer particularly?), faster (Not compared to M5, etc), roomier (My Navara carries more equipment, there are bigger sedans, tarrago, etc), more fun to drive (compared to a 911? Ferrari? ft86? LF-A? Lotus Elise?), has more storage (My Navara + Canopy wins here. Also Station Wagons etc), quieter (Nissan Leaf probably wins), more convenient (TO do what? Camping? Road Trip? Park overnight?), and less polluting (Nissan Leaf probably takes the cake here. Also - my Electricity comes from Brown Coal. It's about as polluting as Petrol/Diesel).

It's a bit like claiming the iPhone is better than every other phone in every way (except battery life). It's clearly not true. The Model S and the iPhone are great products - but "better in every single regard" is just pure nerd-bait.
