This car is awesome, it recently destroyed a Challenger Hellcat on the drag strip....& it's a SEDAN!


I take it you didn't watch the video, the driver of the Challenger fricked up the start and only went like 200 feet. This Tesla is still a car I really want but that video was stupid and nothing but clickbait.

are you trying to say that electric cars are going to suck the power grid dry and we won't have lights anymore?


Are you saying the power grid as it exists in this country could handle all commercial and personal vehicles being electric with no problem?

You can own one of these bad boys for the right price, but frick you if you want more than a 10 round magazine for any firearm. California ladies and gentlemen.


First of all, I own firearms with 30 round mags.

Now that that's out of the way.



the frick are you talking about? How does this vehicle relate in anyway to a magazine capacity ban?

You bring up a valid point

Do you think that whale blubber as a source for fuel could support all commercial and personal traffic being motorized in 1890?

ETA: Also, I'm no electrical engineer but probably so

Too bad the car weighs almost as much as a Tahoe.


This actually makes the speed performance more impressive.

Idiots equate electric vehicles with liberalism. They then associate liberalism with taking away guns. So Tesla means no guns.

Great acceleration, cool styling, kinda like a modern day Jet-Pak.

In fact, given the range, exactly like a Jet-Pak.

Until you take a corner at speed. A fat car being able to launch hard isn't impressive at all.

Until I can pop a new battery in like you would a cordless drill these cars are useless to someone like myself that drives long distances every day.

the batteries are pretty big though, so they'll take a little longer than a cordless drill, just because of the weight management. about 90 seconds longer than a cordless drill.

They had a retard behind the wheel of that Challenger. Real driver would have probably have dusted that Tesla (or, at least, made it a contest).

And I love Telsa...I want one.

So you are telling me I could swap the batteries in a tesla quicker than I could change a normal car battery. Yeah... seems logical and totally realistic.

The Tesla goes 0-60 in 3.1 seconds.....I doubt it would have gotten "dusted"!
