I've driven the Model S and the experience is so bland. There is nothing visceral about it, no engine noise/rumble. Too quiet, feels like a very quick appliance and not a car. Do not like.
It's an insult that TS is comparing an EV to a Ferrari or Porsche (Lambo I dont care because they are poser cars with no racing pedigree).
A more accurate comparison would be against Dodge Hellcats and Demons.
everyone knows EV's will take over, thats no big surprise. All EV motors have identical characteristics with infinite torque at 0. The interesting thing will be how EV's are marketed- unlike ICE engines, EV motors are all the same, so automakers will not have signature engines (ie, BMW's inline 6, Porsche's flat 6, Subaru's boxer 4). What will differentiate one car brand from another in this EV future when the only difference between platforms is the volume of batteries it carries?Its not just me saying this. The top car mag in the world:
"What say you internet? Should the rest of the car industry shut up shop, or will this inspire them to similar feats?"

if you travel a lot its an awesome gas saver, the only thing im unsure of if it breaks down unlike other cars you will need a tesla mechanic to get it going and how many of those are there?

It's been speculated that they will be sold more like smartphones are today- on software features, ergonomics, and battery size. I'm not ready for that world yet.
The average driver spends $1200 a year on gas. With the added costs of going electric, how many years would it take to break even? A long fucking time. And limited refueling stations + long time to recharge make it inconvenient as fuck.
stop being attached to a piece of equipment that is mass made
future is pretty much clear - autonomous driving so no more road accidents due to idiots drunk driving or texting and no more harmful emissions which means cleaner cities
its a win win, but keep crying about objects with "soul" (I mean I get it to a certain extent and thats why they will probably always have events with old school petrol cars where you can go and jerk off to them if you so desire)
Don't diss my lady!Looks a little better than the fat pig Bugatti

Amazing specs but the styling is shit. Can't Tesla poach someone from Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin or Mercedes to do the exterior.
Nope! No transmission.. hopefullyWill it be available with a manual transmission?
The only reason those cars ever became famous and so expensive is because of speed and performance.
Your fanboy'ism is showing. Lightweight cars/track cars have always existed that outperform supercars on the market.
Interior of Tesla cars are nicely done. Tesla Model X and Model 3 are among one of the worst looking cars on the road.
