[DeTomaso] Tesla Drivers???

[Julian Kift]

Yes, I see that often now, there's a proliferation of Tesla's here in Reno with the Gigafactory close by.

I drove my first Tesla about a month ago in Montreal, rental cars were in high demand, and all they had available was a Tesla 3. Once I figured out the card (key) swipe to make it work it was easy. I have to say that rush and pinning to the seat as you press the go pedal hard is exhilarating, but (and it's a big butt) everything else was just boring, there is literally nothing else to get excited about, it has no soul, it gets you from A to B in a utilitarian there's an 'app for that' kind of way. On the interaction side I found it annoying more than anything (in a kind of nagging wife way) and I ended up navigating using my iPhone for a more direct route.

So, to answer your question, I think it's more of a case of the only pleasure one can derive from driving a Tesla is the instantaneous torque away from the lights, after that the battery efficiency warning light comes on and one is chastised into fictitiously saving the planet once more.

So reading about Konrad's unfortunate experience, he mentioned something about Tesla drivers. I have had multiple Tesla drivers wanting to race me since I got my Pantera on the street. The first one was interesting and I let him go, not wanting to race on the street. The next few got annoying and I wanted nothing to do with that. I'll enjoy my car the way I want to, thank you. Anyone else experienced this sudden desire of Tesla owners to race you?
