I have a buddy (CSB) who has a Tesla. It's pretty damn quick. But any car that you stand next to and can't tell if it's running or not is not for me.

There are electric cars that can hit well over 300 mph in a 1/4 Mile. It makes sense as there are no gears. Just like your electric drill, max power in less than a 1/2 second.Alexis said:I have a buddy (CSB) who has a Tesla. It's pretty damn quick.

True. Tommy is more of a gun and bunker guy.ThomasFremont said:Got to ride in a friends new Model 3. It was pretty tight. But I’m not really a car guy, so I’d drop all the bells and whistles and keep the electric motor. #SaveTheWhales

I hate the fact that Tesla received the billions and billions of dollars from an Obama controlled government. Whether you like or hate Tesla or Musk, they/he abused the shit out of the American tax payer and used a lot of the money to get a massive head start over their competitors in the form of charging infrastructure. Will Ford have a proprietary charging infrastructure like Tesla? This is the issue I never see discussed in these debates. Ford et al have a major hill to climb in figuring this component out. Rather than hate the haters, wThomasFremont said:
I’m banking on Ford. If they turn their production capacity into an electric model that is “cool” and reasonably priced, it will be everywhere. Didn’t the Ford CEO subtweet Musk basically saying they make as many cars in a few hours as it takes Tesla to make in a week? But it’s all about the battery tech...PurpleThrobber said:ThomasFremont said:Got to ride in a friends new Model 3. It was pretty tight.

Neither is Musk.
The Big Boys like Ford and GM just need more tim to get their own electric motors in there.

But rather than sit back and bitch about what Obama was doing, I took the money he was offering, put it to work and have saved something like $70,000 over almost 3 years.ThomasFremont said:

My dad's car in college had that motor- i.e., 1966 Chevelle 396 SS. Bench seats with 4 on the floor. I had no car until last quarter of Sr year. Sad.Alexis said:I have a buddy (CSB) who has a Tesla.

Have a buddy that bought a "salvage" Tesla for about half the price. Things are considered totaled if anything even minimal happens to them because they are impossible to work on and the parts are so expensive. So basically they have to be replaced entirely every few years but yeah, sure, they're "good" for the environment.Swaye said:Weird moving out of the trailer park and into a neighborhood where people buy sort of expensive things. Anyway, he calls me over to look at the car and it was nicer than I expected. One of the new Model 3's, but I guess he bought all the upgraded shit there is to buy on it. Think he paid about 65K or so. Really spartan interior. Like completely clean and no knobs or switches basically anywhere. Just a big ass laptop screen between the driver and passenger sides.
I wonder if Tesla will make it, or if in 10 years when the car is broken there will be no support at all for it. Still a nicer car than I expected. YMMV -
That's just not true. Somebody hit me on I-5, at a dead stop, going 65mph. Not only did the structure of the vehicle save me and my 10 year old son from serious injury, the frame was not bent and the more than $37,000 in damages (almost the entire rear of the vehicle) did not cause the insurance company to total it. Now, having this kind of damage repaired takes forever due to a lack of certified repair shops and demand for parts. It took 2 months to replace a broken window due to break in which was brutal. I get your point though about the environmental argument but then again I'm not a AGW believer so relatively speaking I don't give a fuck.UW_Doog_Bot said:
