The problem with the S-Class, is that it isn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"one_third\">\n<h3>Power<\/h3>\n<p>In the power category, you know Mercedes-Benz wouldn&#8217;t release such a car without being able to one-up the current leader. The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 features the equivalent of 738 horsepower. The Tesla P90D comes with 532 horsepower.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"one_third\">\n<h3>Acceleration<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to Ludicrous mode, the Tesla model is faster than the Mercedes-AMG GT R and the 911 GT3. Because of the large size of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, it will accelerate much slower than the Tesla Model S.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"one_third_last\">\n<h3>Range<\/h3>\n<p>Again, we have to give the range category to Tesla, which will travel about 70 more miles than the Mercedes-Maybach prototype. It is important to remember that the Mercedes-Maybach is a concept car that will change immensely before ever making it to production. <\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<table id=\"tablepress-13\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-13\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">VS<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Tesla Model S P90D<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">738 SAE Horsepower<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Power<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">532 SAE Horsepower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">0-60 < 4 Seconds<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Acceleration<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">0-60 = 2.8 Seconds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">200 Miles<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Range<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">270 Miles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-13 from cache --><\/p>\n<p>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.
