Can we maybe please stop referring to every EV concept as a Tesla-killer? It’s gotten a bit cliche.

VentiPorts: The only styling feature ever to originate on a Buick and find its way to a Pininfarina-designed Maserati.

Where’s the “heavily modified 9-5 Aero daily driver”?????

I dig it! Got a (gasoline) 914 in the garage, but my daily is a Model S.

Is that a 914 EV sharing the garage in the second photo?

I once completed the throttle cable linkage with a couple of zip ties. Drove home that way; then to the shop a few days later for a proper repair. Thank God for zip ties.

Presuming white lights have more propulsive force than red lights, my car is pushed forward most forcefully when it’s in reverse.
