I just returned my MB B-ED and got my Tesla Model 3 invite and ordered the long range version (310 miles) this week. My main requirements are long range (~250+ miles), quiet (low road/wind noise), good styling/content, comfortable headroom/legroom for 4 (up to 6'), good cargo capacity and fun driving experience. After researching everything available and expected to come out within next 6 months my conclusion is the Tesla Model 3 is best fit for me but certainly not perfect. I believe the Tesla's main advantages in the near term are its Supercharger network, batteries and support (e.g. OTA updates). After test drives, I don't really care for EV's like Bolt, LEAF, etc. so I don't see Chevy, Nissan or VW as serious contenders as they are focused on mainly functional commuter cars. The traditional luxury car makers (MB, Audi, Jag) can put out new EV's in next 12 months but it's unlikely they will be able to match Tesla in those areas in the near future.My ideal EV is also an MB E-class EV. It would be a long range (300+ miles) MB E-class EV that would be between the Tesla Model 3 and Model S in terms of length. Tesla Model S (~MB S-class length and Model X (~MB GL-class length) both felt like a boat to me. The Tesla Model 3 is similar to MB C-class length and little shorter than I would like but still acceptable (the MB B-ED got me used to the shorter size). It looks the MB EQ-E will be one of the later EQ models coming out (~2020/2021?). So, I plan to check out the MB EQ-E in a few years.
