The seal had very nice seats, and more room in the back for passengers, but the dynaudio “premium” sound system was garbage so much so i called a audio shop to see about the amp being changed to try and improve sound as this is a big thing for me to have a nice sound system.
Both drove great and were comfortable and quite i didn’t notice much difference to be honest, what made me jump on the Tesla was the tech in the Tesla was much better, the full self driving was unbelievable, the sound system blew the byds out of the water, it has better range and the super charging network came into play.
I picked it up this week and I’m delighted with it, great car I’m sure i will enjoy for years to come.
As for the ionic 6, for me it’s one of the ugliest cars I’ve ever seen so it was never even considered 😂 the 5 is alright though 😜
