lots of people buy them

Tesla went into the insurance business to make money - period.

Insurance rates can be all over the board. My wife’s B8.5 S4 is the most expensive of our three vehicles to insure (all have equal coverages), yet makes the least HP (by a lot), is worth less than half of either of my vehicles, yet should be considered the…

Or buy a real truck.  Ridgeline is the shitty, wannabe Avalanche.

If you are a track junky and want a track car, this ain’t it. You’ll buy a dedicated track car, whether it be something to beat on, a used Ferrari Challenge car, a used true race car, etc. The buyers of this, if tracking, are also street driving them and want the toys.

These can be de-lamed by doing the 4-wheel conversion (around 10k, plus or minus depending on the kit and options). But then you having quite a sum of money into one of these things and have to ask yourself why.

I mean, if I had extra garage space, found a well equipped, great condition, used one for 10k, I’d consider…

143k is the bare bones base price. And Porsche makes EVERYTHING an option. Playing with their configurator, you are looking at 190k well equipped and 200k+ loaded. At least 160k to be optioned enough to not kill your resale.

Cool car, but when you are living near the 200k mark, there are some other good options...

Didn’t help them against the C8.R teams, as they beat the hell out of that awful sounding Porsche (though the GTD Porsches don’t sound like total ass).

innocent bystanders get harmed killed

Yes. And is setup to be similar to this generation of F1 car, down to that 3.0L NA V10. What simulated vehicle would you suggest that more accurately portrays a late 90's F1 car?

Loved this video. Over the past couple days, I’ve done a few races in iRacing in the Dallara iR-01, which is a relatively similar car.

Be quiet - you can’t use facts against the Jalopnik anti-Musk and anti-Tesla narrative.

Look, a Union boot licker. I’ll stick with working in companies that appreciate hard work, ability, promote from within when possible and give opportunity to those that deserve it. You stick with your “seniority above all else; I can’t do that because it isn’t in my job description” union job.

No, you are just broke.

I’ll stick to iRacing, where it represents real tracks and real driving physics.

AND it is physically bigger.  That DOHC Ford motor is freaking huge, making it a packaging nightmare on your next project.  Hard pass.

And if this does actual come to fruition, there will be aftermarket way to bypass it - and I will. Not because I’m looking to drive drunk, but I’m also not looking for big brother to be over my shoulder either. Don’t think for a second that they aren’t looking at tracking this either just as an onboard recorder (think…

Shocker, more union corruption.

I HAD a menial job (tech market crash in the early ‘00's screwed me and I changed only a couple years out of college). I worked my way out of menial into professional at the same company - something that never would have happened with a union.

Regardless of the market, I would really struggle admit to anyone that I paid 35k for this thing.  

Just sell the land zoned for housing. Done.

If you want to build affordable (read, government subsidized housing), don’t do it on prime real estate. Do it on cheaper real estate. Win-win for business, the government (spending less tax dollars), and people get to live in more affordable area.  Make sure adequate public…
