After seeing a couple of Supras in person- the looks haven’t grown on me. I wanted it to look better in person, and it actually looks worse. 

They made old cars with way more power than they were fit to have back in the day (the Hemis, ZL1s, Boss 429s, etc.) that had all the same safety systems as the base model inline 6s. 

You do realize they used a stock Hellcat engine and transmission, right? Those cars are NOT equipped with a cage OR 5 point harnesses from the factory.

This should never make it to court. If it does, should be an easy verdict.

Prudence also said don’t drive like a moron on the street.

There’s a difference between prototype/test mule and pre-production. Pre-production is the same way a consumer can buy it, and Porsche said they ran the stock tires.

This all wreaks of the guard from The Shawshank Redemption.

Plus your body is flat, so more surface area makes your body less likely to move. A lot of spinal injuries are from whiplash, which isn’t really an issue when laying down.

There’s a few reasons I can think of. There’s less movement near the middle of the vehicle, so less road sickness with the head there. Plus safer in collisions.

For most of what your listed, they would work. For ambulances in major cities they still have a way to go. Our ambulances in Chicago regularly do over 20 calls in a day. Once you factor in limited time to charge, the running of climate control in our summers and winters, then the draw of lights and sirens- the battery

Composite, or segment laps don't tell the whole story for electric vehicles. Especially on a track that length.

He actually said in an interview that it could carry a full size truck in it's bed.

What was the difference between the route it gave you to charge, and an optimal route for an ICE vehicle?

When I priced a Model S P100D it was $130k+ to start. 

Having seen one in person, it's worse. I was hoping it would be better, but it's just not. Especially the back. It's a small car that looks overweight. 

I have to disagree about Buicks and longevity. In my extended family there have been several, and most have done over 200,000 miles without needing anything but maintenance and the occasional battery.

It didn't look good then, it doesn't look good now...

I’m pretty sure there base car gets all season tires, that's a big difference there. Plus the GS had wider tires, as well as better track tires.

That might be the best decision Will Smith made in regards to that movie. Considering he passed up Neo in The Matrix for it.

The Northstar was a Cadillac exclusive also, but Oldsmobile ended up with a version. They might make changes so it's different enough, but still use the same architecture. I don't think that's what is going to happen, but I wouldn't say it's not going to happen.
