Tesla to RR or RR to Tesla?

Tesla to RR or RR to Tesla?

If you have gone from a Tesla to a Range Rover, or Range Rover to a Tesla: How was your experience / what are your thoughts on this?

(This is about the regular Range Rover, not the sport/evoque/discovery/defender/etc.)

I'm happy with our Model Y, but these shortcomings lead me to consider a Range Rover:

  • Poor range when towing
  • Not capable off road
  • Only seats 5 (would get LWB RR)

I was less excited about the RR after test driving it for these reasons:

  • No self driving or even decent LKAS (and no ability to add that on via comma.ai because Range Rover uses FlexRay instead of CAN Bus).
  • No dog/keep/camping modes to keep the HVAC running.
  • Would have to start doing gas-vehicle stuff like visiting gas stations, scheduling routine maintenance, etc.
  • Less passenger/cargo space than I expected (I was thinking minivan or YukonXL amounts of space).

The RR still kind of fits the Swiss-army-knife role of being a vehicle that can do almost everything, but just with more tradeoffs than I initially realized.
