Depends on whether you want to stay married... :)

I have to think about it, but I think I’d have to say my very first car. A 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible. First generation, 1 owner car. All original.

If you’re still focusing on the car, you’re missing the point, and its why you think Tesla will fail once the other companies start making GOOD EVs. So far, aside from Tesla and finally GM, the EV offering is pretty lame.

Given how long it takes to develop cars and a car’s product cycle, I’d say when they are releasing the 2nd generation Model 3 (new design, not refresh)...

Great. Don’t take 0-60 times seriously. Don’t take straight-line performance numbers seriously. Don’t take power and torque figures seriously. Don’t take class leading towing statistics seriously. And now, don’t take the lap times seriously!

I’m going to preemptively say this:
2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI.

I came across a Fisker Karma in Esztergom, Hungary in the fall. It had Virginia dealer license plates on it.

Ok, on the one side, I do appreciate the clean, laboratory-proven, safety verified calculated way of developing new technology. It is definitely a proven successful way to develop new stuff without risking people’s lives or property. Test and test, verify and verify, and eventually, release an (hopefully) entirely…

Tesla Model S P85.

Tesla Model S owner chiming in: So far (in 2 years or ownership) the rear left charge port hasn’t been any issue for me. I’m generally in the habit of backing into a space for charging. Home charging actually works best for me here as its a detached garage that I enter from the garage door anyway...

What is it about the UK that makes older cars come off the road so fast? Insurance? Emission regs?

Looks more like a furry version of my e21. Even got the wonky passenger mirror too...

Dynos aren’t designed for electric cars with max torque at 0 RPM. As a result, when Tesla’s are floored on dynos, they get ridiculously high torque figures returned, torque figures that aren’t really representative or comparable to other vehicles. Hence, by starting them at around 30, it brings the readouts more in…

The higher the performance, the more caveats you’re going to get. That’s just the way life is. As technology improves, it can help alleviate caveats to the point at which both the Tesla and the RAM are pretty usable vehicles for day-to-day use.

Out of curiosity (I’m not a pilot, just flown MS Flight Sim on my computer):

Like I said, it depends on what you enjoy.

Buy something nice and don’t drive the freeways. Find another couple of routes to work that’s more engaging and enjoy some variety. If the commute is going to take an hour, which would you prefer, sitting in grindingly dull bumper to bumper, or threading through district surface streets. (Guess it depends on whether…

Agreed. 100%.

There’s a difference between knowing the value of money and not caring.

I’m guessing that a city staff member at the City of Hawthorne building department was trying to warn SpaceX from just blindly building whatever and wanted to throw some regulation out there for consideration. Its happened on some of my projects where the local jurisdiction catches wind of something we’re working on…
