Smoked by a Tesla
 

Had a run in with a Tesla S vs. the Z last night on the way home from work... It didn't go well for the Z:vroam:

Tesla driver was your typical rich asshat (my car is better than yours):mfight:

But what I found most histerical was after blowing by me and then using 2/3 more stoplights to show off - about 2 miles up the road I passed him going 10 MPH below the speed limit...:crazyhi: (He ended up seeing my tail lights after all:mariosmile2:)

I bet he used all his juice for the few stoplight jaunts....:sFun_rofl:

You COULD NEVER convince me to buy a $100K an all electric sports car if it can't do more than 2/3 back to back jaunts to 60mph:mytwocents:

I even remembered the Car & Driver review - They were specifically told to do one 1/4 mile run and immediately plug it in for fear of unrepeatable speed results due to power loss:uralosersmiley:

That is pretty wild. I guess if you ever have to race a Tesla....go second. Sounds like a "one and done". LOL.

The thing about electric cars is the torque is instant so by the time a gas powered car gets in torgue rang to get the pulling the electric car has got to much of a jump. Fk them electric cars I see those ass hats all the time, way too much money for those cars.

But still a cool car!!! come one!!!!

I know. I know. Even the 1st 2007 Tesla's were very cool.

But the price on what they consider to be a daily driver sedan hasn't come down to a price that a working man could ever afford. I think it all revolves around the battery cost.

Tesla is probably breaking even on every car sold, but it's still not affordable.

There have also been a bunch of battery fires, but hopefully that's all sorted out now.

Teslas are luxury performance cars. If you want a lower priced daily driver electric car you can get a Volt or a Nissan Leaf. I just saw a Roadster the other day, those are cool cars. Personally I think gearheads should embrace electric power. That's what's going to let us keep blowing donuts long after the oil has dried up. And the instant torque is fun!

Tesla Motors says it will start taking orders for smaller, lower-priced Model 3 car in March
