Is Mercedes-Benz the New Tesla?

Sure, most other companies sell electric compact cars or hybrid performance vehicles, but none compare to the luxurious full-size Tesla experience. Tesla is good, but when it comes to Mercedes-Benz VS Tesla, Mercedes-Benz actually may be ahead of Tesla in the race to the electric car.

Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion

This may not be a production car, but it is one of many designs Mercedes-Benz is willing to show us and is undoubtedly the most luxurious and advanced vehicle on the planet. On the outside, it may look like a space coffin, but on the inside, it is a living room. This is a completely electric, completely autonomous I-Robot machine has swiveling seats, touch screen walls, and it monitors where your eyes are looking to optimize the dashboard and infotainment screen, both of which are larger than Tesla.

Tesla Model S

We have to admit, Tesla cars have a really cool and unique ambiance. They have everything you might expect from a luxury vehicle and are often confused with combustion vehicles because of how flawless vehicle operation is. But for $70,000? This high price is the reason Mercedes-Benz has not yet put any of its high-end electric vehicles into production. We do have to give Tesla credit though, for its long battery range. It can travel up to 250 miles on a full charge

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile

By use of adjustable aerodynamics, this hybrid concept car might be even more efficient than a Tesla. The body automatically transforms at different speeds to optimize air-flow around the car. With a drag coefficient of .19, the IAA is the most aerodynamic vehicle on the planet. What’s even more exciting, is the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R will feature the same transforming technology.
