Tesla model S. The base one is still quicker than almost anything at any legal range or speeds.

I think a lot of the problems with modern cars is that they are designed to be “sold” today and not something to be enjoyable to own a decade later. When I consider buying any vehicle I always think of future me, and think “is this something I would be pleased owning 10 years from now”. And “what’s going to fail on…
I’m not familiar with the pricing on these, but not sure why everyone is thinking “the miles are too high, etc”. Its a 15 year old car with average annual accumulation. Is that not good to know it’s probably not sat around for more than a few days, and generally driven and taken care of? I think I would rather drive…
this is real...
I had a 99 911... bought it several years ago with 207k and was ~230k when i got rid of it. I think the IMS stuff was original on it, it ran and drove great.
I’m all for EVs but they all have seemed too heavy to me to really be a lot of fun and toss-able. I actually really looked at and drove a couple of original Tesla Roadsters, and while they felt very fast, it kind of felt like driving MR2 Spyder towing a trailer and without power steering. My daily is a RWD Tesla S and…
As part of contingency training at work, where we would have to drive company vehicles this was something that was highly encouraged, along with backing into parking spots. Statically this is much safer when leaving. Think where pedestrians/shopping carts/other moving cars are going to be relative to when you start to…
The ~50k model 3 Performance does exist still. I personally know a couple people in the process of buying them. (one blue, one grey... would have to get a white to technically be under 50k). They are sold as Long Range AWD cars with unlocked Performance, and seem to be already built/inventory cars. Most have black…
Where can you buy a Kona EV for under 30k? Also they don’t seem to even be for sale in most of the US
$45,000? Looks like they start at $63000 on the website, same as the performance model 3
Nice Price. I’ve bought a couple of these with over well over 200k miles on them, E34 535i 5-speeds, the last of those M30 motors are great. Lots of tourque and was a very fast car when it came out, and still decent today. This is an older style motor with less plastic stuff to fail. One was at least a decade ago with…
What about a few year old CPO model S? The 70D’s are getting around 40k
Does it say in the video what the following distance is set on the Tesla? 1-7? I’m guessing they have it set low/tailgating for dramatic effect. Not sure if anyone suggested this (or tweeted it to Elon yet), but a simple software improvement would allow this setting to auto adjust dynamically based on speed and other…
I think the classification problem will be biggest issue with these systems. And the guaranteed to happen future accidents will always be freaky in nature, meaning for example the system mistakenly thinks the oddly parked, flat sided fire truck is a road sign it can ignore. I have had an a current generation (AP2) car…
I agree. I don’t understand how can then even call this a Roadster, it’s got to be quite heavy and somewhat large. What I would put a deposit down on is something sort of Miata-like. I would more impressed with realistic specs of a real open top convertible (not some Targa thing), ~2000lbs weight, 0-60 ~4sec, 150-200…
I have a 99 manual convertible that’s worth a bit less that that if someone wants one of the cheapest 911s around. I’m going to put up for sale very soon in Dallas. Has hail damage though, but runs and drives awesome. Black/black, with great/rare options like LSD and on board computer, stock/not ghettoed out..…
