► Month 11 living with the Range Rover Sport
► Comparing tech with a Tesla Model S
► It doesn’t fare well, but we still love it
The Tesla Model S makes almost every other car feel very 20th-century, especially if you step straight from one to the other. Unfortunately it proved especially true of my big diesel SUV: the contrast heightened by the fact that I was driving/being driven by a Tesla with Autopilot, and that the Tesla and the Range Rover have, respectively, arguably the best and worst user interfaces at the pricier end of the market. But I still love my explosion-powered death machine.
