Interesting comments considering that the video wasn’t really negative on the Tesla, at all.

That checks out. Another component of this kind of discussion that I haven't seen mentioned here (but did see over on the corvette forum back then) is this old conventional wisdom saying any tire becomes directional after it's been run long enough in one direction. That didn't seem to matter...

The manual that came with my C7 Grand Sport recommended rotating tires side to side. Those were 285f/335r high performance Michelins that are marked “OUTSIDE” on the outer sidewall so you’d think they’re directional, but despite quite a bit of arguing on Internet forums, I didn’t see a single...

Let's just say I never see it happen during the daytime when these individuals would be putting "normies" in danger with their antics, and I live much closer to Mexico.

Absolutely there are plenty of people who do that on a regular basis. I see it all the time.

I remember reading here some time ago that this was really only an issue with the 3 and Y. It's also only an issue with LFP batteries, which I don't think there are any in an S or X?

my wild ass guess based on nothing: I suspect the difference would come down to how they decided to manage the airflow underneath the car and through/around the wheel openings, which might not have been considered as thoroughly on the BMW. Maybe?

That’s the reason I didn’t try to go back and get the summer version of the ION Evo’s to replace the AS version I just got a few weeks ago. I really like how quiet these are.

And backlog matters for the stated goal, but not nearly as much for the actual goal, which is to make profit.

It’s almost as if the goal of every company is to create wealth, regardless of what they tell you their goals are.

I just read this thread from the beginning and I have to ask, am I the only one who test drove a highland 3 LR and a MS LR back to back and found the 3 to be the quieter car? I mean until you enable the active sound reduction in the S, but that’s headache inducing for me and for my fiancée so it...

I test drove the S and Highland 3 back to back. They’re similar enough that I didn’t notice a difference.

0-60 launch and looks. It’s not necessarily beneficial for cornering.

This seems pretty much right to me.

Absolutely. I think the ultimate reason to do this is the additional publicity; they probably end up selling more cars by leaving that little bit of mystery out there to drive discussion and then a bump when the discussion goes nuts later on as we realize we had the right idea in the first...
