>>16263024
they are known for being slow among ISA plebs because of various news campaigns to slander their first attempts in an effort to stifle growth. basically; oil industry doesn't want competition

They have incredible acceleration because it's an electric motor so no shit. That's where the good news ends with Tesla's though.

>>16263136
This and the range compared to other electrics.


The interior is fucking miserable though

>>16263250
You spent a lot of time in an S or X? What was your issue with the interior?

>>16263274
Too much plastic, never liked how the front seats looked.

>>16263286
Why would you care about how a seat looks, do you sit in it while driving or sit and stare at it in your garage contemplating it's design? Which plastic pieces are you talking about? How can an interior be "miserable" when you've never even been in it? It's like complaining about a picture of a snowy mountain saying it's too cold.

>>16263298
because i'm paying a lot of money for a vehicle to look nice in every aspect, why would i knowingly buy a car with parts that don't look nice. I tested one and was in the market for something similar but passed in the end.

>>16263323
>projecting
Projecting what, do you not know what that word means? You also forgot "cuck" when stringing together every insult you could mimic from other 4chan posters after being BTFO.

>>16262957
You've got it the wrong way around. It's a car for weak, effeminate people and it happens to be a car that cares about the environment.

teslas are a pretty cool first step but once the major car makers catch up in terms of range and cost, there's plenty of cooler cars i'd like with an ev drivetrain

>>16262957
>all that lithium
>good for the environment

Don't you people realise how stupidly fast this car is?

>>16263531
you can mine lithium cleanly, it's just kinda costly

china gets away with cheap lithium because they dump shit in rivers

but i believe there's a huge salt flat in chile with a large percentage of lithium salts and they're scaling up to big time production and they mine it properly

Tesla sells more cars over $75k than all the German companies put together.

>>16263555
lithium mining is just pumping water through rock and sand. Then leaving the brine to evaporate in pools.

now processing it into a battery can produce some nasty by products. though a good capitalist will think of ways to make money from those byproducts.

moving the source of emissions from the point of use to a centralised location means people care about the environment?
No! Veblen goods are used to show how not poor some one is while also showing how poor their imagine is.

It's a tryhard car with shitty range. I won't buy an electric car until they have a 350 mile range and can recharge off 110V in 4 hours.

Nut yeah, go ahead and fund his research. Live life on the bleeding edge, pissing away tens of thousands of dollaridoos.

it needs a better interior than a Honda civic and physical buttons. then they need to make the thing corner.

>>16265721
>then they need to make the thing corner
it's too heavy
they either need to remove batteries and drastically reduce the range, or wait for some amazing breakthrough in battery technology

if they put a petrol engine in it like the Chevy Volt, it loses it's appeal as an electric car

>>16265748
if BMW can make the X6M corner, Tesla can try

>general perception is weak
the general public does not care for muh shifting feels, lateral g's, understeer or oversteer or engine noise

this is a perfectly quiet car that goes fast off the line which the only kind of speed normies care about

>>16265859
and it is has the best gadgets.

>>16262957
you don't need to care about the environment to want a tesla...

>>16265859
I have normie friends that hate the feel of gears changing

>>16265748
why are fuel cells not a thing to look at?

>muh scary tank of pressurized hydrogen

Fucking people have been sitting on top of tanks of explosive liquid for decades

>>16268402
because hydrogen is an inefficient meme in anything that isn't a rocket or fusion power plant.

you'll waste a lot of energy and money to produce hydrogen from water, or from hydrocarbons and still produce CO2.

>>16268402
Fuel cells are so 2008.

>>16262957

>>16263286
+1 to this. I got to ride in a P85D telsa and while it was very fast in a straight line the interior reminded me of a chevy cruse. Plastic everywhere with the exception of a little strip of carbon fiber that ran the length of the dash. For a car that costs 120k+ I would have expected a much nicer interior. The Fisker karma had a 100X better interior than a Tesla. The only thing a Tesla has going in the interior is that big ipad glued to the dash. Everything else about screams econo box.

They only have one gear and a flat torque curve.
How well do you think they'll accelerate at highway speeds?

>>16269618
Sorry, the torque curve isn't even flat, it falls on its fucking face after 50 mph.
Normal fags will just shift up a gear and fuck off.
The tesla will run out of charge with in 120 seconds of trying to keep up and be going nowhere for the next 4 hours while it's charging up.
