^ Yeah I'm one of those nerds circa 200x that was like, "CARS ARE JUST FACE GOODS, ID RATHER HAVE EXPERIENCES". Then proceeded to jack off over a car that "DOESNT NEED OIL CHANGES, SO MUCH CHEAPER" that costs $120k. 2/3/2021 2:27:03 PM

^^ Fine sir. I was not an automotive enthusiast or petrol head. Allured by the suave marketing of Tony Stark incarnate: you can have the ultimate car and not have to take it to the oil change like those other cucks. I dreamt of the day I could have my car take me to the bar where I could smugly get drunk and tell everyone my car is driving me home. Finally, being intelligent and not a sucker, I shelled out $120k so I could save $2k on gas and $300 on oil changes.
I'm making fun of myself for spending $120k on a car and also buying in hard to Elon marketing. Carry on.

the performance difference isn't why people wanted the plaid+, it was the 520 mile range. which I bet came from the cobalt battery which probably doesn't work as expected 6/13/2021 9:15:05 AM

I don't see anything mentioned about the repeatability of the crazy launch. I ask because with the previous top Model S Ludicrous Mode took 45 minutes of prep time, and wasn't repeatable.
Don't get me wrong, insane performance stats. But being able to hit 60 in 3 seconds as many times in a row as you want would be more impressive. Or being able to do one lap around a race track without going into reduced power mode.
Also if my statement above is outdated anyone feel free to mention as much. 6/15/2021 4:19:00 PM

^ they have seriously improved on that since they introduced the Cheetah stance feature (or around that time), i don't know, about a year ago. since then it has been able to do back to back runs, and this new one is even better.
from their website:
Quote : | "With the longest range and quickest acceleration of any electric vehicle in production, Model S Plaid is the highest performing sedan ever built. Both Long Range and Plaid powertrains, with updated battery architecture, are capable of back-to-back, consistent 1/4 mile runs." |

60-120 mph in 3.84 sec
as a point of reference: the $400k 765LT takes 4.1 sec
video: https://insideevs.com/news/516406/tesla-plaid-60-120-4seconds
(not surprising considering it has 1,020 hp and AWD, but still hard to wrap mind around the fact that it is a 5-seat family car, but has performance typically found in $1-3 million hypercars) 6/25/2021 3:28:23 PM

TWW on Tesla:
Quote : | "It's vapor ware. They have a one-off, non-functioning prototype. Unlike the current Tesla, which is just a tweaked Lotus chassis, the Model S is their own platform.... that doesn't exist.
Tesla needs several hundred million dollars of investment (which they are seeking from bailout money) to even have a chance at developing this. In 30 months. From scratch. With no prior experience.
It took GM 7 years to get the Volt platform to a point of a functioning prototype. Just a point of comparison." |
Quote : | "If Tesla survives and is able to pay back their loans I will eat a lithium battery." |
Quote : | "I maintain that pure electrics are absolutely stupid, save a very small market for very inexpensive electric city cars." |
Quote : | "Automotive electric motors are sub par right now because no one has really tried to develop light 100hp motors. Batteries... The same." |
Quote : | "also, Teslas are lame. I guess I'm glad someone is trying, and it's a step in the right direction, but I respect it really only as a test mule or prototype, and can't imagine why in the hell anyone would buy one." |
TWW on Chevy Volt:
Quote : | "lmao this thing is so fucking dumb. ahahahahaha
gm is the worst and deserved to die." |
Quote : | "Hahahaha
This will be a greater failure than the EV1.
I'm actually a little saddened." |

Quote : | "Even if you just treated the entire engine as a consumable and didn't do anything but change the oil, say, once per year with full synth, you could buy a lot of 2JZ engines for the cost of a $40k battery pack and the $40k price premium of a Tesla over the price of an Elise.
Oh, and the 2JZ would be fixed/replaced under warranty for a few years, unlike the battery pack.
Oh, and you could go on a trip longer than the borderline useless range of the Tesla.
Oh, and it would still be a flyweight sports car, which is the entire point of the vehicle, instead of a porker." |

^^^ The context there was that the original Tesla Roadster made no sense. I mean, I get that it was a stepping stone, but...I can't imagine why anyone would have bought one. Look just a few posts above that for the context:
Quote : | "My beef is that they took a perfectly good Elise, then fucked it up and doubled the price." |
I am an EV fan, a TSLA shareholder, and a likely EV buyer--but I stand by my comments on the original Roadster.
