Still the most awesome car. I know you gasheads love to hate Tesla. My advise is this - go drive one. Compares very favorably to its peers. (BMW 750i, S class, etc)

Those moaning about Teslas being unaffordable, - get a better paying job. :-)
Those moaning about it being an unreliable car - get real. It's much less maintenance than an ICE. For real.
Those moaning about it being too gimmicky - Get a life. All those gewgaws and Silicon Valley gadgets are the future, your caveman, polluting, ICE age anachronisms are what's going thing to be left behind - the world is moving too fast for you cavemen. Get with the program, or not, I don't care :-)

I am  ot done with my admittedly snobbish rant - I can afford one, I can afford 5! Honest! I don't care what you stone age monkeys have to say in return. I have smoked many an ICE from standing start. A brand new Camaro. A Dodge Challeneger. A Maser.

Yes, I know I can do it only in a straight line, smart pants, I used to drive a light and nimble 325i, you don't have to waste your breath teaching me about handling. I know it better than you. Probably.

And all those who think Tesla survives on government handouts - please, check your brains, go do some Google research before you start spouting rubbish about this subject. I don't even went to spare any more words for idiots like you! (I guess a poster I remember by the name 'cogougs' or some thing like that comes to mind, the poor dolt)

Now go ahead and ban me. I don't give 2 $hits!



Good bye! And good luck!

Wow, a drive by douchebagging.

Haven't seen one of those in a while.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Well, if you had spent any time on this forum in the past three years you would know most of us love the Tesla. But instead you just want to brag about your car, your money, and put everyone else down to make yourself feel better about being an asshole.

Once the fallacy of a fragile environment and peak oil is exposed by Gougs, the big 3 will revive their big block engines because they use more fuel.

A Chevy Spark will come standard with a 454.

Only if it's mid-engined. Too much understeer otherwise.

Rear-engined would be most fun.

I'd like to see how the transmission/diffs/drive axles are set up, because I can't picture it in my mind. The rear engine especially looks like it's just cargo.

Most likely used quantity 2 of the FWD transaxle out of a late '60s/mid '70s Eldorado (this is an Olds version, but same difference):

lol - "My advise is this..."

Anyone really believe this moron actually owns a Tesla?

Ah yes, of course!

I don't remember this red shift fella being so aggressively douchey, but could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

It's a crazy fast car. 2-3 seconds faster than anything else there that day. Granted, it's owned/driven by Jim McKamey, who has set several track records across the country.

I don't know what your guys issue is, the review came across as pretty balanced to me.

Model S seats 7

ehh 5+2.

I'm assuming he was referring to his minivan. The El Camino fits 2 (+5 dead bodies)
