If you buy a 15 year old Mercedes that originally went for $110k+ for $15k, it will still have repair bills on it like a $110k vehicle when something goes wrong.

Disagree, the Teslas are 100% being cross-shopped with Toyotas as well. Tesla build quality and luxury imo isn't on par to BMW/MB/Audi. Luxury does not a big screen make, and if we are talking luxury appointments the TM3/Y is about equal to a Highlander. If you really want to compare, a TM3 is probably comparable to a Acura TLX directly. Can't argue with the versatility of the frunk though.
Tesla wins hands down imo if you are looking for the best EV drivetrain. There simply isn't one out there that matches them. If you are shopping for a overall package then other brands potentially win out depending on how heavily other criterias are weighed. The Etron is a million times nicer, but the drivetrain isn't as good, and the use of space is terrible. But it's so so so much nicer than a Model Y.
