In conclusion, the choice between the Tesla Model S and the BMW 7 Series ultimately depends on individual preferences regarding technology, luxury, and long. The Rivian (I own this now) is fantastic and much better build quality than Tesla but not quite to BMW standards. Rivian vs iX is a much harder decision, as the extra space is great!

After 15 minutes of continuous driving, the BMW M3 Competition was over 5,000 feet ahead of the Tesla Model 3 Performance, so there's still work to be done. However, the BMW i4 M50 justifies its premium pricing through superior build quality, more traditional luxury appointments, and a more established dealer network. Buyers prioritizing absolute value will find the Tesla more appealing, while those seeking a more traditional luxury experience may find the BMW's higher costs worthwhile.
Teslas build quality is always hit or miss. I think if you buy a Tesla you are purchasing mostly for the tech/experience vs the actual build quality of the car. That's just my opinion though! You mentioned you already own a 2020 Model S, so if you like that, I think you will enjoy your new model Y!
I can say with confidence the driving quality and fit and finish is night and day between Tesla and BMW. It's well known that Teslas quality control is basically non-existent and it shows. Thank you BMW for continuing to make a superior quality car.
