You can go to the "Model S Interior/Exterior" forum and click on, "Model S shows its true colors", in the "Stickies" portion. Choose the silver car and it will play a slide show of quite a few different silver cars, from different angles, with different wheels. I think they're beautiful. One...

I'm not 100% positive, but I think the headrest/restraint design issue may be related to the current and upcoming federal mandated requirements for cars manufactured in the US. I remember speaking with someone (maybe the reg Porsche Rep) about the changes required due 2016??? In the same...

Hence is why I posted the video above, classic example of why you don't like RWD, especially one with too much power in the hands of one who can not drive.

If so I'm out:)

Did you guys see the BMW M4 lose it the other day at this "meet and greet" in CA? Although humorous and plain stupid, it wouldn't have been if someone would have been oncoming in the other lane... BMW M4 Crash @ CARS COFFEE Blackhawk 2015 - YouTube - - - Updated - - - Yes probably. Be...

At least the "D" specifically is very controlled in the way it goes about its thing. My concern with it is people's inability to judge distance during inertia and not being able to stop in my time in the event warranted. The thing is like a controlled missile yet it doesn't act like it. The...

Agreed. When you get to a certain amount of power its simply doesn't mater anymore if you can't connect/hook up. The "D", GTR, and just a few others have mastered this and the results are documented. You simply can't just punch it with 700HP in a rear wheel car and expect to do anything but...

The whole thing is sneaky or appears that way unfortunately...

Agreed:) And that was my point. If you know this going in, especially coming from the cars we have/had, then you won't be disappointed. I do hope they tune it up casue I don't need the range:)

The "D" will spoil you very quickly. Once again compared to the 0-60 its considered lame in comparison. Obviously if Tesla is planning a performance update they must concur. I just think its important to point out they are two completely different experiences and don't expect the same...

I just hope they definitively figure out why/how it happened.

There is still plenty of power to pass comfortably but it is a completely different experience void of all the excessive thrills experienced down below. I was quite shocked when I kicked it at 60-mph waiting for something relative to happen. Not only did it not happen, but it was a bit...

And this is where the mystery lies and the questions begin. They may have been able to get a few out with the corrected airbags and then jumped ship realizing it was a dead end street. Or maybe only some were wrongly made. I have no idea, just speculating. There is no doubt something weird...

But the thing is, the original Recaro seats were made incorrectly and yes those definitely were Recaro seats. We wouldn't even be here talking about any of this if that nightmare wouldn't have happened. This is part of the equation that can not be overlooked. I still say they got into it with...

This is where it needs a bump, the 50-80mph is pretty lame, completely different than the 0-50mph. In fact, in this range, I don't think its any quicker than any other 85. It may beat anything down below but it sure won't if the challenge starts at 50mph.
