Have never driven a Tesla, but have always heard it has an amazing smooth ride and handles great due to the batteries being under the body. The interior seems cheap and boring and I to would have range anxiety.
The Panny's will have the best driving dynamic of any sedan. Is that what you want? When it comes to sedans, we either want luxury, power, handling, technology, safety, looks and etc. The GTS will not mod very well vs the PTT it just handles a little better and sounds better. The PTT will have so much more power and can be tuned and exhausted to become the machine you want.
I own a the S6. Please clarify what seats you sat in and what the problem was. I have the sport seats and they feel and look amazing. I put an AWE exhaust and GIAC tune on mine. For a luxury/sport sedan it has all the tech and more, drives great, and costs 30 to 40k less than the other options. The S7 I hear drives very differently and in a bad heavier tankish way.
No interior right now comes close to an S class, don't believe go sit in one. Don't drive it or you will want it. I am currently looking at getting one right now, in place of my S6. Just not sure I want to sacrifice sport for luxury.
I would keep your S6. I made the move from my second Panamera (2014 4S) to a 2015 MBZ S550 and was bought back in record time by MBZ. Too many electronics and but that wasn't even the main issue with my S. I went through 4 sets of warped rotors, 2 sets of brake lines, 4 sets of new pads, had my tires balanced and rebalanced, within 3 months and the tank still wouldn't slow down. It had made major vibration issues at speed when applying the brakes and I'm not the only case of it. When your brake feel like they're going to fail, it's an issue. Stay away from the S is my suggestion.

Wow, that is a horrible story. I had something to that when I had a Dodge Ram, after it was hit, it never drove the same. At 75-80mph, the vibration was horrible. Could have been wrong offset but yours were mainly brakes and I'm not sure if the wheel offset would effect that. I would have been tainted by the brand as well.
If you are going with a good amount of aftermarket upgrades I would consider a Tesla. If you are leaving it stock, or a slight tune, I would consider the Panamera.
Wow, this is interesting, why would you say that? There's not very many upgrades for a Tesla. In fact, I think I would feel weird bragging about how I just installed a new center console in my car!
For the Tesla I would recommend color matching the door handles and lower mouldings. We did this and it really adds to the profile of the vehicle. We also do quite a bit of custom carbon fiber for the interior and exterior of the Model S.
We were the first company to offer a Brembo BBK for the Model S, the first company to offer lowering springs for the Model S, and the first company to develop a few other Tesla parts. Being in the Bay Area, we see a lot of these vehicles and they all pretty much look the same. That inspired us to be one of the early aftermarket adopters for the Model S and subsequently a few other companies have followed our lead. We even developed a Model S coupe if you really want to separate yourself from the rest of the pack.
There are a few other touches we have available that I have not included, but again, I think the Model S is a more open slate to work with in comparison to the Panamera which is pretty tuned up already (but we have a lot for the Panamera also).
Very, very nice! Do you guys have different nose cones?
