Is Tesla In Trouble?

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 VS Tesla Model S

Mercedes-Benz wants to be the leader in automotive luxury on every platform. Although it currently stands tall at the top of the combustion engine market for both diesel and gasoline engines, there is one market that the German powerhouse has yet to be able to saturate. Especially in America, the number of electric Mercedes-Benz vehicles is extremely limited.

The truth is that the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Tesla Model S are very similar cars. The problem with the S-Class, is that it isn’t available in all-electric form in the United States, giving the Tesla a weight advantage. The introduction of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, however, could be the beginning of a new generation of electric cars.

Of course, the Mercedes-Maybach features interior luxury closer to the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S-Class, where the Tesla looks more like a regular S-Class. This is where much of the popularity of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 would come from, if it were to go into production some day. For now though, we have to focus on performance but Mercedes-Benz is definitely headed in the right direction.
