well conquest discount usually doesn't say conquest from MB specifically, just conquest...
It's pretty common to get a discount if you're coming over from a brand's direct competition. When we were looking at an Audi there was a 1k discount if you were coming from MB or BMW.
To me it was like buying a Microsoft Zune or a Dell MP3 player, why try the alternative when you could buy the leader. I had two LR3s, mechanics were fine, it was the technology that was the problem. It won't be the electric motor that has issues, but rather the technology in that car.You cannot underestimate the charging network that has already been created and expanded daily. I also think the new Tesla insurance is a way to mask the invaluable data the company has collected over the last x years, which they are trying to monetize. Data will replace oil as the biggest commodity at some point, Tesla will again be a leader there.
It's also a Jaguar which means it's going to have a residual value of $0 and spend half of its life in the shop.
I wouldn't go near it with a 10 foot pole.
By that logic, you shouldn't buy an iPhone because Android is the clear market leader. I don't want Tesla collecting my data and selling it. I don't like that Tesla released personal information about a driver that was involved in a fatal crash.
Tesla does not have a monopoly on car technology. That doesn't make sense: most reviews say Mercedes/Audi have better tech in a lot of areas than Tesla. In fact, I read one review of Cadillac CT6 that said the semi-autonomous driving was at least as good if not better than Tesla because they have mapped out large chunks of highway and it is fully autonomous in those areas.
Everything I have read is that is an outdated view of Jaguar. Reliability is actually pretty good. As for depreciation, the curve looks pretty similar to any other European brand. They have a huge hit years 1-3, and then it slows greatly.

I agree about not having a monopoly, but they have the first mover advantage where others are playing massive catchup at the risk of becoming irrelevant.
If your family has a second car for road trips, maybe it is fine, but if it is your only car (or just the car you want to use long distance thanks yo auto pilot), a Tesla with supercharger access is the only option.
If you are just commuting around town, home charging and the occasional public charger is ok, but otherwise it is a deal breaker.
