The front end kind of looks like the kissy face on the Kaiser Darrin





Looks like the front was based on Betty Boop:  :rofl2: :rofl2:

I must admit, auto-pilot would come in handy on the road trip we're planning for this summer.  Looking to put another 3000 km on the car over a few weeks, and our 2013 Tesla S doesn't have the hardware for auto-pilot, so I'll need to actually hold the steering wheel...oh the horror!   ;D

This car has literally everything. Regardless all the pros it's a track beast as well! GG Elon.

I'm sure you'd prefer not to know the truth, keep your head in the sand, it's an improvement.

It would be an improvement if you took your head out of your ass and moved on

The sound of the V8 supercar was epic.   I won't spoil the show, but with 2 million views, that's a lot of sad gas car fans, or happy electric fanbois

Not one sad gas car fan.  Guaranteed.  With all the $$$$ you save buying the gas car buys LOTS of performance parts.  And enough money left over to fuel the car for a lifetime.

Or just buy one of these...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFG5ISA1mIg or one of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQoQZhPCjYo or one of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x1nOLAdEtk etc etc etc

TheSmokingTire reviews the P90DL

https://youtu.be/slvgVpVCm1U?t=512

Matt does his usual best to give the car he is reviewing a ride up the snake.
He gushes over the Tesla's performance, handling and ride quality.

This is a guy who does a custom build of his own fox body 5.0 mustang suspension to get the best handling on the specific road he drives for these car reviews.   His confirmation of the Tesla Model S ride and handling is significant given the large number and high quality of cars he has reviewed on the same course.

This is also a guy who lied about a driving a Ferrari that turned out to be a Datsun.

That's the best you've got.  At least he's honest in his opinion of Tesla and what they've achieved and not a EV-denier. ;-)

I dunno.  I think some guy lying about driving a car...and then doubling down over and over when he was called out over it as about as serious as it gets for a car blogger.

It would be like you lying about owning a Tesla. 

I don't think anyone on this board is an "EV-denier" (whatever that means).
