@JZZ31 I hope you feel that way when you have to pay 6 dollars a gallon for gas. You are a fuckn dumass this is the future open your eyes!!!!!!!!!

@Themarcelodamian2010 the Tesla Model S costs 57,000 dollars. That doesn't sound like much to me.

Beautiful. But it still must be hard to charge it somewhere it's not your home.

What do you do at someone's place or in a gas station.

You plug it and pay something to the owner? How much that must be?

Anyway, soon it will be the standard.

Put me one of those in white, thank you very much.

@QwertzProductions personally I think it looks more like a Maserati quatroporte.

@TypeORedPill Or go to your inlaws house.

@Caliluv562 That's just the way poor people think. They only ever see the initial investment and walk away from that. They aren't good with money, so two things happen. First they balk at the initial investment. Second, they can't save money because they are wasteful, so they are never able to get that much money all in one place anyway. So instead, they just do what their small minds can handle, which is spend small amounts of money constantly. Forever poor, and it's their own fault.

@Themarcelodamian2010 Yeah they are, because of the outrageous cost of batteries, and, Tesla is a Luxury car brand, make that a Luxury slash premium car brand. that is why they are so expensive. Plus, you are going to sell few cars so you have to have more profit margin on each car you sell which means mark up anyways. its called bean Counting actually......

The only way car makers will be able to compete is to offer more horsepower, but they won't be able to do that without hurting mileage. Plus, it's tough to beat 100% torque at 0 rpm.

How will EV makers compete? By offering bigger motors and/or more kW/kWh's and lower prices.

[TypeORedPill]

A lot of people seem to be hung up on the quietness. ANAL

@JZZ31

Do you buy a vehicle for its styling, performance, efficiency, price, or for the amount of noise/stink/exhaust it makes?

Noise is wasted energy.

If you want noise you can take your muffler off.

Gotta love the silence

@Griesmayer especially, if you try to find a car, that's even slightly as beautiful! This is really the best of Aston Martin and Jaguar! Consider what they cost! I haven't even sat in a Model S, but still I love it!
