Idiot Tesla Drivers

[CarmeloS]

Talk about them being balls to the wall fast all you want, still gotta wait an hr or so for 80% as @Eyesac said.

I'd take noise, a manual and being in and out of a gas station within 5 mins over a soulless rolling crematorium that does 100 in 2 seconds and takes a half hour to charge

Why not just get a Diesel at that rate? ... That's why Uncle here

Got rid of them, to push this crap

I'm not sure the numbers actually support that, tbh. Sales continue rising on an annual basis and carmakers are continuing to work on ways to generate economies of scale that will ultimately bring prices down while allowing for them to be profitable. EVs are still very much in the early adopter stage (maybe just entering the early majority stage). They'll likely continue to improve. With an average daily commute of about 42 miles in the US, there's plenty of reason to believe they'll ultimately be something for the masses. Just takes time.

I'd give it until 2030 before ev makes sense for the average Joe. The progress already in the last few years is pretty wild. They will always have their limitations of course, but they just have to get to a point where most people won't notice them.

They will beat a STOCK stang everytime, BUT supercharged stangs are a diff ballgame. When i had my roush stage 3 car, id beat them everytime w 750hp.. Now the TESLA PLAID is diff.. they will smoke any blown mustang, except cars in the 1000HP+ range.

A performance model will. The performance capabilities of the non-performance teslas are greatly exaggerated.

well, as time passes so does there tech and power. Back in 2021, 22 i was smashing them, Lost to a PLAID.. But nothing ever after that.

The problem is that it's hard to tell what you're even dealing with since they all look the same, lol.

Tesla publishes the most optimistic quarter mile data ever. They advertised my dad’s model S as 11.6 second quarter. That car has never, ever run quicker than 12.4. The cars are not that fast. My mom’s 2023 dual motor model 3 is also pretty slow.

now the newer performance versions f’ing fly. Don’t mess with those without boost.

Honestly, the testing and research being done right now to eliminate those limitations is awesome. I'm excited to see if it all works out. There are tests being done throughout the country for wireless charging on highways while driving. It's all in the very early stages and will take a while to perfect (assuming it works - and with all the smart people out there, I'm sure they'll find a way), but that will be a game changer in the EV space whenever that happens.

I only race cars… I don’t race motorcyles, go carts, boats nor electric vibrators ( aka Teslas. )

 

[Bulldog9]

"the Tesla pulled along side, hung there and would gun it,"
How do you gun an electric engine?

Don't be dense......

I'll break it down for you.

Tesla pulled along side going same speed as the Supra, then pressed the accelerator hard, jumped forward provoking a race, then slows down and pulls along side again, rinse and repeat.

 

[Bulldog9]

Especially if you drive a manual, they'll uber home at that rate

Side issue, my wife and I took a road trip in the Bullitt last week, had to wait 30 minutes to get my car out of the valet garage (no choice) because only ONE of the drivers could drive manual............

 

[LOL WUT]

Don't be scared little fella, just give it your best and you'll gap a Tesla too...

lol, I’m well aware of what my car is capable of. Thanks for the encouraging words champ.

I had a supercharged Saleen Mustang pull up next to me at a traffic light the other day, now that is fun! Game on! I stay away from Teslas, just zip away skeeter.

I was on a road with three lanes in each direction. I was in the far-right lane at a light, and a Tesla pulls up next to me in the center lane, my windows were down because the exhaust is out there. I look over and his window was up, and the tint was fairly dark.
We were both the first in line at the light. The light turned green, and he took off quickly. Not wanting to waste fuel, I puttered off the line in no hurry.
I rolled up next to him at the next red light. I looked over, and he lowered his window and said: "I'm surprised you didn't give it a go back there?"
I replied, "Buddy, I could tell by the sound of your after-market exhaust, that thing has been heavily modified."
He replies, "F__k-you man", and rolls up his window.
This guy had NO sense of humor..... I thought it was quite a funny comment.... he didn't.
