When the test drive was over he asked me if I was sure that our test car was the performance model (it was) and he complained bitterly about the lack of exhaust sound! My M5 is definitely faster than the P85. Just look at the 1/4 mile trap speeds - no Tesla has come anywhere close to 120+ mph. Also the M5's cabin is in another league altogether. I am very happy to have chosen the M5 over the Tesla (and yes that video does piss me off a little - the Tesla crowd had a field day with it).
I still need to test drive one, but I think the center screen entertainment system is awesome. Would love that setup in the M5.
