Normies can't tell a 318i from an M3. And in countries outside of Yurostan standard plates tend to fit poorly in European vehicles. Over here if you get Euro or Jap styled and sized plates you have to have something custom written on them.

That being said, what would you get on custom plates? Surely not some variation of your name like cashed-up gooks do.

Same as you pretty much. It's a sub-premium car with a premium pricetag. BMW, Mercedes, Porsche all have superior interiors.

At $100k I would expect leather on everything, not just the seats.

Tesla doesn't put leather in its cars as of a couple months ago.

My wife has one.
It's not too bad, comfort-wise, although I find the massive amount of glass in the front makes it heat up quickly.
I'm also 6'2, and have no problem with headroom, but I never sit in the back.

There was a rumor that Mercedes bred special herds just for the leather to be used in their highest-end cars.

Rental cars tend to be thoroughly abused, and frequently get insufficient maintenance.

As someone who has rented several cars in his life, no.

No one treats a rental car nicely. The last one I had was a Chevy Cruze in 2014. I abused it so horribly, flooring it and riding out each gear to redline. I fucking slammed the doors, hit potholes without a care, took corners hard and slammed the brakes. Mainly I was testing its handling (it's quite poor), but also I hate Chevrolet and was still mad about my Mazda being murdered by that inconsiderate bitch on her cellphone.

TL;DR No, rental cars are always abused and poorly maintained. Think about - would you adopt a kid who had been abused before they came to you? Fuck no.

If it's a CPO from toyota, you're good to go. If not, and it's a rental = no

Don't really care for it myself, but there's only one electric car that interests me that I could afford and I'm not really sure it makes sense for me to get it.

The charging network isn't really all that built out where I live (Eastern Iowa), and the support situation isn't really ideal yet either.

I keep hoping somebody will make an electric car that doesn't look like ass, has reasonable range / fast charging, and drives decently for a reasonable cost. I don't really care about the luxury or the self driving of the Tesla but it seems like they're the only game in town for a real 100% electric driving setup.

Explain

how fucking lazy are you that you've never washed a car before

Building a bunch of fancy new electric cars puts a lot more strain on the environment than you driving your old vehicle.

>is it true that they are more damaging to the environment that regular cars?
Not really. All industrial processes are harmful to the environment in someway. Lithium mining isn't exactly the cleanest thing around, but neither is any other mining operation. All modern electronics are manufactured with rare minerals, and all cars are jam packed full of these.
The electricity you end up charging a Tesla with will likely be created by some coal or natural gas power plant unless you live near a nuke plant. So you're still heavily reliant on fossil fuels even though you're driving an electric.

The whole net input and output is what you'd have to look at, and calculating that is a pretty intensive task. Until batteries radically change and the entire power grid radically changes EVs won't really be the "green" machines that people want them to be. I couldn't rightfully say whether they're better or worse for the environment over all, at least right now. This issue is so heavily political that you can't really trust anyone.

>I read in some other thread that 1 Tesla battery produces more co2 than driving a V8 for 8 years
Its based on a Swedish study that had some questionable methodology. Popular Mechanics says is bogus, so take that for what its worth.
http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/news/a27039/tesla-battery-emissions-study-fake-news/

>if that's the case why are they presented as being more eco friendly?
If we're all being perfectly honest the whole appeal of eco friendly things was created by a marketing department, not anyone genuinely environmentally conscious. Its good PR, thats about it.

Literally just tell them "I am a poorfag here to piss about and window shop, leave me alone." They will probably appreciate your honesty in not wasting their time.
