    P85D hanging with the supercars

    Hellcat Re-Match Results in beating P85D

    lol, im away not even 24hrs, and my god, this thread.... btw, did kris get banned for this thread? i havent read the whole thread but he seems pretty reasonable (definitely more than some others...). I hope it's not cuz the modship did not like his cheering both cars, opposed to just tesla...

    Hellcat Re-Match Results in beating P85D

    we got ppl here dropping six figures for faster than an already great acceleration spec from the regular trims we got ppl here creaming their pants when it's revealed a 0-60 of 4.3....then 3.2...maybe 2.8... we got ppl blood-red proud that a heavy full size sedan can drag a two seater and not...

    Hellcat Re-Match Results in beating P85D

    check your date.... hehe so basically *putting fingers on ears* "la-la-la i cant hear youuu" 1) talk about ignoring the vid & moving the goalposts lol. as soon as a vid shows tesla losing, it's all about every other attribute BUT the racing/power/speed showcased therein. 2) the SRT...

    TACC does not work very well on curvy roads :(

    i agree. so lets check back in say, 2025. cuz as of 2015, tacc is dangerous as it is exciting. 95% reliability is worth jack if hitting that 5% once is enough to put you in a hospital. i gather it's the opposite: the 17 is like a normal hwy. it's just telling how tacc has not worked...

    Top Gear is Dead

    james may and the elf Hammond have also quit. hopefully they form a team with JC and get a new show in a rival, private network. The gnashing of teeth will be oh so worth it...

    Consumer Reports says older cars will not be compatible w/ version 7

    ah, how history repeats itself :) was it not only a few months ago that Tesla put out Autopilot and other features, and jealous "Keep up with the joneses" customers got mad cuz - surprise, surprise - the pace of software updates surpasses your car's permission/ability to receive updates? lets...

    PowerWall and "The Missing Piece..." Event

    1) if you judge company health from stock price, you are doing it wrong. I believe Jim Kramer is hiring interns :D 2) on the bold: if after all these years you still have incommensurate expectations, & can't control your Charlie Brown football syndrome, perhaps it's time to take a small...

    Cheap Oil; Long-term Good or Bad environmentally?

    it's good 1) it ****s up alberta's oil profitability 2) US military shares the brunt of subsidizing the hidden cost of oil (lets face it, they gonna b there til Jesus comes) 3) extra $$$ in my pocket. and my friends pockets. 4) OPEC life expectancy (and esp Saudi oil) is shorter and shorter...

    why do you think elon is so good at PR, without spending a single marketing dollar? it works. this thread is a great example.

    Porsche starting to take Tesla seriously

    ah, so force the environment to meet the compromised specs of the Tesla ? ;) porsche's actions are totally reasonable. i still wish they'd experiment with fast EVs, but PHEV's to me are still super exciting. I dont have EV-only bias

    Consumer Reports says older cars will not be compatible w/ version 7

    none of us know how true this is (it's not a yes or no question, it's more of 'to what extent will it be true') but that aside cmon, dudes, why y'all so surprised/distraught :) you guys celebrated the smartphone-ification/iPad-ification of your cars. Well guess what, those iThings get...

    Model X vs. BMW X6

    merc used to be the ugly german maker. now it's audi. btw, their led lights styling is overrated, i much prefer tesla's. and that new rs8? cmon, car, stop squinting lol :)

    Plan: Off grid solar with a Model S battery pack at the heart

    thats what i dont get. why dont they sell this thru solarcity? are they llooking to sell directly from tesla to end users? dont they want to do some cool cross branding? and clean up the shaky customer satisfaction with Kimbal's company?

    China Market situation and outlook

    i hate it when ppl care so much about % figures when the absolute numbers start so low. anyways i just saw elon's recent tweet on china. Happy that he is trying to learn from earlier errors, as opposed to finger-point consumer ignorance/"bias". Very constructive, hopefully that will...

    Please get an electric car!

    ^wow i totally didnt realize that. thats...pretty China like. North Am, and W.Europe are mostly good with sourcing cleaner natgas or renewables for electricity. I wonder if NZ is that bad?

    China Market situation and outlook

    Massive staff reshuffles and internal CEO expressions of disappointment means the SpC + S are not enough to meet the high expectations of the Chinese who are truly experienced with luxury cars. Clearly, the sales were disappointing. (This is an entirely separate topic from the irrelevant point...

    What is a 6yo Model S worth with 150K miles?

    EV depreciation is a very important, poorly understood topic. we are so early in the generation. i think we see clear evidence on TMC itself, suggesting otherwise. so an extra 20k depreciation beyond what we already have? altho tbf, the ROadster, no longer being in production, will be...

    Tesla Model C Concept Design Study

    the tires are way too big. but other than that, +1 i personally dont like the prototype, the current fascia looks less cat like :)

    it's so fine that he fired a third of the staff & sent a private memo to execs expressing his disappointment?

    China Market situation and outlook

    1) and yet we have ppl wondering why the Chinese should choose an S class over an S? :biggrin: Should i remind ppl of the ginormous hissy fit TMC posters threw when Jon Liberman chose the former over the latter? 2. "superior" - define this word. As you know, there's more than one metric...

    Please get an electric car!

    generally, developed countries source their energy from nat gas or cleaner sources. it's the developing countries that are the problem. you can do that without the dripping self-righteousness or condescencion that seems so common or trendy in certain EV circles :)

    Autopilot and Randy

    pwahhaah great topic OP :) frankly, you're giving the rest of us ideas. But yes, that kind of stuff will def become more common. (along with checking ur phone, dozing off, attending to kids in the rear seats...etc) fun stuff

    Model X vs. BMW X6

    OP: i certainly have made X6 and X comparisons. starting with the name. of the two, i'd say that as much shyt the x6 gets for its styling, it's still the far better looking machine. then again, the audis have that stupid monocultural grill mouth, so it gets the Fugly Award :)

    Tesla Model X Cancellation

    tl dr version: the true source of the problem is tesla's terrible communications issue (and related lack of customer consideration) but OP's actions are on a whole nother level. just get a nother car, dude, and stop bitchin.

    China Market situation and outlook

    an entire paragraph that goes completely off topic :( my point was that the S simply doesnt offer competitive luxury interiors and features. Yet is priced as if it were. nothin wrong with the S, so long as you're ok with all its pros. Which is not the case for Asians and Germans.
  41. bluenation

    China Market situation and outlook

    those are real lux cars, with a long lux record the S is a lux-priced car, that falls so short. you know how a lot of S fans are like, "well i love the simplicity of my interior!" Well, about that....

    Slow Screen Reaction Time

    this is why the touchscreen is the one major thing from tesla i'd rather not have in my future cars. At least, not have it be a crucial mandatory part of controlling important car functions. Case in point.

    P85D Nurburgring Edition

    the p85d is not known for great handling. it's a heavy ass car. the only answer to OP is to remove half the batt and put in an ICE powertrain. I dont think we'd want that ;)

    China Market situation and outlook

    you know all those reasons tesla is falling on its head in Germany? well korea n japan is kinda like that. 1- tiny ass roads = no bueno for large cars 2- govt supports domestic makers 3- everyone, and i mean everyone, lives in apartments, or the like. No garages with dryer plug outlets there...

    Model S on Top Gear?

    here's the tl;dr version: TG is a entertainment show vaguely related to motor vehicles of various types. It is not where you go to get wiser about cars. TG fans are legion, and worldwide. And their bitter outrage and tears are hilarious. And so is the outrage from the anti-TG club. Btw...

    Consumer Reports: Tesla and the self-driving car

    OMG @ at that Youtube comment they read at the beginning. The sheer level of arrogance and self-righteousness deserves a mention on The Onion. and thats before you mention the reality that tesla is not the only AI car maker, not even the "best" one. Likely a TMC poster, i bet...
