Just drove a Tesla Model S

[BLAKE]

And that shit is for real. Base model "slow one", and damn. One of the most fun drives of a new car I've ever had. To describe the acceleration as "linear" is probably the most accurate way to put it. Roomy, comfortable and fun as hell.

I'm generally a front-engine, RWD internal combustion kind of guy but that Tesla is seriously cool and hauls ass. I'd take it as a daily driver in a heart beat.

Anybody else have any experience with them?

[mstng86]

He agrees. That car is badass.

Tesla Model S is large sedan, no?

Tesla Model S is large sedan, no?

Yup.





Not sure of the accuracy or where the info came from, but within the past week I read that Tesla had captured something like 10% of the luxury sports car market.


EDIT:

The electric car maker will deliver more of its Model S than expected and is expected to hold a 9% market share in the luxury sedan segment, according to a Jefferies analyst. The analyst said Tesla's (TSLA)Model S is going against BMW's 5 and 7 Series, Mercedes' E/S class and Volkswagen's (VLKAY) Audi A6, A7 and A8. Tesla accounts for nearly all of the 10.4% gain in full-size luxury sedan segment

My buddy works at Tesla and gave me a ride in the Model S with the big battery, I thought my eyes were going to get sucked into the back of my head. Bitch pulls hard!

[Ratt]

Yeah, I want one, but optioned with the big wheels and the performance sub-5-second-zero-to-60 package, they come out to like $1200 a month. I'm broke.

Ah, I was thinking Tesla = electric sports car, akin to the Lotus Elise and all the other little cars Blake likes.

But think of all the money you would save in gas! Lol

I'd save about three hundred dollars a month from not having to buy gas, but even then the payment on that Tesla would be double my monthly payment and gas.
