So do you live in a truck then?

They are as large as my house, can sleep as many people as my house, and are about the same price as my house.

Which works out to about $583,500 after interest, loan origination fee, doc fees, and dealer prep.

That $640,000 is before rebates. It’s more like $400,000, right?

The short answer is that, because of the center axle, there’s not enough weight over the drive axle (the rear axle).

your statement that this was done “on a whim” is wild speculation. you have zero idea whether that’s true or not. you’re only assuming it is because you were surprised by the announcement. you honestly think they built up an entirely new drivetrain and arranged to ship it to Germany “on a whim”? it’s no wonder people…

I’m not sure a Tweet declaring “Model S on Nurburgring next week” (which is exactly when the car arrived and began track testing) provides enough information to talk about the level of planning that went into this effort from Tesla.

come on CP’rs, have you priced out any kind of Cobra replica ever? This thing is about as close to giveaway as you’d ever want. Oh I see, it’s not an “authentic” copy of an AC copy?

I feel bad for saying this, but I don’t like Brian or his family. “We loved our car but EVERYONE has one, so how is little Muffy going to stand out in the pre-school line?” is the vibe I’m getting.

The GT isn’t a sedan:

But he threatened pistols or a rope later, along with “tax is theft”.

That tax on money over 50 million is really gonna hit your savings account hard. Right.

Even as a fan, I can recognize that the 5GT was not the most visually pleasing design, but that new 6GT is pretty sleek. Saw one in real and it’s low, long and wide and looks cool.

I don’t believe they said they wanted to make children cry. 

According to legend, when an old SUV starts to die, it begins to make the slow trek to a place in Michigan, where it can die in peace surrounded by the remains of its ancestors.

I know just how the NSX feels. I was given a weight penalty for dominating the first half of the Golden Corral buffet.

Interestingly there isn’t an official lap time for the current CTS-V at the Ring, the first gen did a 7:59. Unofficial times put it in the high 7:4x range where the Project 8 was far faster at 7:18.

Yes, the CTS-V was the record that the Project 8 beat.

“Fastest 4 door ever at Laguna Seca” is the Jaguar Project 8 at a 1:37.xx. I’d be SHOCKED if the Tesla beat that time. The Jag has significantly more aero, was on an ultra-sticky Michelin and weighs 1100 lbs less. Correct your tweet or show me the video now, Musk.

State/Local government fees on EVs:

The oil industry has been around for over a century. They know every trick in the book to get policy enacted in their favor. If federal laws can’t stem the tide of EV switchover, which the oil industry has actively resisted in partnership with car makers for decades, then they can…
