After 5 minutes on auto drive the Tesla will beep at you till you put your hands on the wheel to make sure you aren't napping. Although if you sleep through it, no clue what the car will do lol. And they aren't silent when you give it the beans. You hear the motors whine and the tires fight to grip whatever they can, meanwhile you're hanging on in pure excitement. It's an amazing piece of tech but I'd also never own one. With all that tech, there isn't a single thing in the back seat area to charge a device or anything else your spoiled brats may want to do. It also wasn't all that comfy inside and left me to wonder if the motors and sensors really cost 130k because the interior was frankly garbage at that price point. I've always told my friends and family that I can't wait for the "powered by Tesla" badges to hit the bigger car manufacturers.Most Teslas that I encounter appear to be driven on "Autopilot" by someone who is either napping or in mortal fear of running out of charge.
Could be dangerous. An ex friend from grade-school probably still hasn't forgiven me for telling him to piss on the spark plug to shut off a go kart.Pissing on a Tesla (even not on fire) would be like pissing on an electric fence. You never know if it's charged or not. No thanks.
I have GT3 RS and just got a Model 3... We'll see about Ford and about Porsche.... they have some BIG ASS shoes to try to fill. This Model 3 is a seriously EXCELLENT car for a 4 door sedan... and it really quick and nice handling.I wouldn't piss on a Tesla if it was on fire. Once Porsche and Ford release performance EVs Tesla will be a has been IMO.
I just don't think Tesla is going to be able to compete when Porsche and Ford get into performance EVs.I have GT3 RS and just got a Model 3...

. I didn't have the mis-aligned production stuff or bad paint... which I know was true, but a bit of over-hype. But the car handles great, and is CRAZY quick. It does 3.2 secs 0-60 but without any drama. You leterally get pushed back into the seat. Trust me I love drama also... the GT3 will do about the same 0-60 but you have to rev the motor with the brake on then release it and it all pretty lame if you just cruising around from light to light, who wants to rev out a motor on a Porsche driving light to light, its not made for that. So if your driving on the Street the Model 3 is a blast, it just rips around town. I have the Performance version.
As for Ford or Porsche catching up.... I will have to see it. Tesla is the one who actually DID IT... meaning they didn't sit back and make lame looking Electric Vehicles like the biggest Auto Marker in the World Toyota did, nor so-so cars like the Bolt like another Monster Manufacturer GM did, and GM subbed most of that out to the Japanese.
So I wouldn't assume it's so easy and about Money... it also about creativity. Bringing something new and different to market. Making it faster than shit just to blow by all those big bags- of-wind that sit following the same trend for the last 100 years. No I'm not a Tesla convert... I still think it just a great car. But I am seriously impressed and I freaking loved just ordering on-line and having it delivered to my house. No haggling or some sales person who adds absolutely NO VALUE to my Purchase of a Car. So it just a new way of doing things and I found it really easy and pleasant, and I'm a massive gear head.
It won't replace the GT3RS in anyway...it not meant to, and its just a different experience, but it much better than most of you might thing. The thing about Souless driving doesn't really come into play when you laugh about how much torque you have pulling out of corners. It just LAUNCHES out of corners, and it pretty damn fun, and there is no sound, or other sensory input except speed and pull.
By the way I think Mustangs GT350w are freaking AWESOME looking... Everytimes I see them I want one... wish I had one! Itest drove one before the Tesla. Actually would want one more.. but the Tesla is for Commuting and the self driving in LA Traffic is a life saver because I go into LA 3 times a week.
Yeah, that's a real relevant point. Most Tesla owners were torn between getting a liter bike or a model S. Definitely apples to apples.I can buy a Ninja 1000 and hit 60 in under 3 seconds for a lot less than 60k you paid for that Tesla and have a lot more fun.
This is one of the big things I like about the Tesla ordering - Sure maybe the only cons were you'd loose out on gettting A GREAT ONE TIME ONLY DEAL ON THIS 2018 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE!! COME IN TODAY!! But I'm honestly in the mind of convenience and yeah, easy. I'd even consider paying slightly more to get a new vehicle delivered - how I want it built - to my house rather than go hunt one down. Going around looking for what you want, trying to get a good deal with potential swampy sales people - extended warranties - etc.. etc.. it cuts all the effort out imo.But I am seriously impressed and I freaking loved just ordering on-line and having it delivered to my house.

Well, what do we have here a fu#$+ng comedian.Yeah, that's a real relevant point. Most Tesla owners were torn between getting a liter bike or a model S. Definitely apples to apples.
Hey, my Hayabusa is faster than your Tesla! My name is Captain Obvious!Well, what do we have here a fu#$+ng comedian.
0-60 is 0-60,. Apples to apples....that is all Tesla owners talk about is how fast they are to 60. BFD,
