only ran 91 octane since then

Driving an F1 car as one of the worst driving jobs? Are you all high? That’s like saying you love soccer and then saying playing in the EPL for a low ranking team would be a bad job. Even driving the worst F1 car as a job would be one of the coolest things in the world.

I think those are still bigger than the Lordstown ones. Also, this is what they look like when they’re fully lit. I can’t imagine these being as bright as the Tesla lights

uh... that bit is the part of the brake light that turns on when your headlight turns on during night driving.  full brake light shown here.  

These can’t be legal, can they??

10? I give it 3

This will inevitably lead to me driving off in an overpriced Malibu.

I do now wish I had gotten the leather one - I have to clean it quite often. I’m new to the sport and luxury market so I’d never had a car with alcantara and didn’t realize how easy it was to get dirty. The last car I purchased had an alcantara steering wheel option and I hard noped!

alcantara shit

I put a Pep Boys metal shift knob on my first car. Dumbest thing ever, it was ice cold in winter and hotter than the sun in summer. Best thing was that I threw out the old one before I realized how much the metal one sucked.

Can confirm, used to have an 8th gen Accord with an aftermarket metal shift knob. It wasn’t funny to row your gears on 95 degree summer days 

Yeah absolutely - having just rented it off Turo, I wasn’t experienced with using the Tesla chargers. I can see this being very annoying if you don’t have Tesla chargers nearby. I’d hate to have to only stop by Audi brand gas stations to fill my car up.

In general, Tesla owners learn quickly to only stop at Tesla-branded chargers, which have extremely high reliability. It’s the off-brand chargers that have massive issues and require special apps to activate.

Especially if you could get your hands on an old blue tech diesel S-class with a 30 gallon fuel tank. Those things had 700 miles in a single tank.

I had to rent a handful of Teslas for a commercial I was shooting for an electricity distributor in the southwest. I figured I’d just use one of them as my daily car driving around Arizona, it was big enough to haul my film equipment, and as this was about 5 years ago, I had never driven the then still new-ish Model X.

But if I cover the shifter, how will I know which gear is where?

That’s what the sock is for - among other reasons.

After my stock shifter wore out and started looking kinda busted I got a alcantara shit knob, and it felt so good not having that massive aluminum knob on hot days. I used to keep a shop towel in the center console for shifting on very hot days.

Seriously, my Si has an uncovered brushed aluminum shifter and that thing gets pretty toasty.

Is that an uncovered, shiny metal shift knob? I can’t even begin to imagine what that feels like after being parked outside in a hot climate for whole day. It’d be like Indiana Jones’ Toht, except with a gear pattern.
