Totally agree. If it's a hybrid then it's a compromise. That's why I won't buy one. The fastest cars are turning out to be full electric.

Here are @Atomadam ’s pics of his black interior Plaid
Wiki - Model S Delivery Update
Fair, fair. I also seem to be the only one that cares about it regardless lol. I feel the about the tilting screen and ANC. But not as passionate as you are. The tilting screen and ANC push me to buy a Model S instead of a Model Y. But knowing that they are available but not yet active still...

GM is still stuck in the dinosaur past. As you can tell I am a big fan of the Corvette but they just haven't innovated enough to make the car special. And that probably won't change either. The mid engine should have happened 5 years ago. They are a day late and a dollar short. I want a Roadster!Totally agreed!
A review on this cars oft-compared rival, some Tesla talking points included…
Is that the new record for the most patient man on this forum?

The Roadster will be next level! I'm just hoping and praying that they make the SpaceX package optional.

I used to waste so much money modding cars to make them faster. This car is going to save me money...no mods needed!
Just have to buy the next model for higher performance as it rolls out.

Hell yeah man!I used to waste so much money modding cars to make them faster. This car is going to save me money...no mods needed!
To be honest, if I dont get the Model S, the c8 corvette would be top 3 in my choices, that thing is gorgeous and looks like a ferrari going down the street.
HOWEVER - 1) you cant get the damn thing and 2) what the hell were they thinking when they made those massive holes in the radiator grille where rocks and *sugar* are just destroying them!
Do you think it'll actually come out? I'm sensing a bit of a cybertruck vibe from it...The Roadster will be next level! I'm just hoping and praying that they make the SpaceX package optional.
Initially had to return a S within the seven day window because of internal noise. Then after a long wait my DA canceled delivery the night before citing a crack in the glass roof. They offered to postpone the delivery for a week to replace the roof. I said no thanks. I was again scheduled for delivery a week before battery day and I requested a suspension because rumors of a refresh were getting louder by the day. So after 12 months, here I am. In the meantime I purchased a BMW and sold it because I found it boring and uninspiring after a few years of Tesla life. COVID helped out cope with the delays because of WFH. So if I can stay patient anyone can.Is that the new record for the most patient man on this forum?

Oh I totally agree. The exterior and interior of the C8 is flat out awesome. Like the best looking corvette ever hands down. It really is Ferrari like. I had my heart set on the c8 Z06 until Elon said he had a car that could do low 9's @ 155 mph. I am all in on American technology, jobs, innovation, etc.

My favorite part about the C8 is all the buttons next to the cup holder. I will never understand this decision.

Well Elon keeps talking about it, and last we heard, Tesla was finishing the engineering of the Roadster this year, hoping to have a drivable release candidate by the end of the summer. Then production is supposed to start next year. Apparently, development of the 4680 battery cells, and most importantly the tri-motor powertrain were important steps to production.
They should just make the screen larger and put them on there.
Also - if the roadster is out by 2023 ill be stunned. They have bigger fish to fry with the semi, cybertruck, re-platforming the Model Y (and maybe the 3). I just dont see them putting out more than one new vehicle per year. At the moment, I do believe the cybertruck will be next, but not until late 2022. I think Semi is probably 2023 and roadster in 2024.

Also, it MUST come out, as people who reserved the Founder's Edition Roadster had to put down all $250,000 in 2017 (which was non refundable.) Additionally, they also have 80 Roadsters they have to give away, to people who won with the referral program.
Yea but how long has it been now for the Cyber Truck and where is Plaid+ lol. Might be a bit negative but it's hard not to be with the way this has been going...

Tesla is giving away over 80 new Roadsters for free, which might have killed the referral program
Elon Musk announced that Tesla is killing its referral program due to cost concerns and new information about the latest...
