THE TRUE KING OF THE LARGE LUXURY SEDAN MARKET

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the classification of the Tesla Model S within the large luxury sedan market, challenging the notion that it doesn't belong. The reviewer meticulously compares the Model S against competitors like the Mercedes S-Class and Lexus LS, focusing on price, interior dimensions, and weight. While acknowledging that the Model S is shorter than some traditional large sedans and features a hatchback design with folding rear seats (uncommon for the segment), the reviewer argues that its price point, weight, and overall interior measurements align it with full-size luxury sedans. The video highlights Tesla's strong sales performance in this segment, suggesting it's a significant disruptor to established automakers. The reviewer ultimately concludes that the Model S, particularly the 100D AWD variant discussed, makes a compelling case for being considered a full-size luxury sedan due to its competitive pricing, substantial weight, and impressive cargo capacity, even if its length and hatchback configuration differ from traditional sedans.
