This car is Panamera-sized, as well, and can just keep up with the M5 and the Panamera Turbo once moving.
It looks like a asian car and it doesn't keep up with the M5 or Panamera at all!

With the M5 you can cruise 200 kmt per hour all day and the Model S doesn't even go that fast. And if you floor it and try to do high speed autobahn cruising, you are going to be docked by an electric plug in no time.
Well it was designed by a former Aston and Jaguar design chief, so not Asian at all. Asian luxury cars are derivative. Go do some searching on google and YouTube. Watch those videos comparing the top end Tesla with the M5 and Panamera GTS and Turbo.
