Animal is a Ram Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Manage to stay up for the launch, @Carl Sagan? Can't say I did, caught up with it this morning. Me likey. Don't think I'll be able to afford $35k, though, and knowing me I'd forget to charge it and not get to work in the morning!

Confess I nodded off, but loved watching this morning: Great to be part of something that's been created to save the future. And Elon Musk did tweet there's a special (small) extra for those of us who waited in line and ordered before the big unveil. And they all come with autopilot (ie are self-driving), Supercharger-enabled (which effectively means no fuel bills ever!) and I love the panoramic galss roof as standard. The car of the future in the present. With something like 150k preorders already and the US being rolled out first, I'm guessing this won't be until 2019. So at least I've got a little time to try to save up. Wolfie and Gypsy Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 At the risk of looking like a complete knooob, I'm going for a Nissan GTR if this job comes through in Qatar. No tax, low interest loan of 2.5 per cent over five years puts the car at 800 quid a month or 26 pounds a day... Or I could just buy a house.

I'd get the Tesla Model S or X and still have money left over to buy the house, as well as the smoke machine for the back so no one realizes you're an environmental hero. All the best for Qatar!

ketteringram Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Re the new tesla. Why don't they make one that doesn't have such quick performance? 0-60 in under six seconds is pretty quick. I've never owned or even driven a car that will do that. I've had ones that will do 6.5, 6.8, 7.2. No slouches. But if somehow tesla could sacrifice some of that acceleration, for some extra battery life......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to floor it, it will do 0-60 in more than 6 seconds if you like. ketteringram and bigbadbob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've driven Italian cars for years, essentially because they are cheap to buy and a bit individual. They used to dissolve in the rain but rather better now and with so much platform sharing the individuality seems to have gone from most sectors of the auto industry. I still have silly dreams about an Alfa sud Ti I had once. .. Extension of your body on the road and throttle response like nothing I've ever driven before or since. Only 95 BHP but then again it weighed about 800 kilos. It would do 40 MPG if you didn't thrash it .. But I did, so it didn't drove a Fiat Panda with a 2 cylinder multi air engine the other day .. What a laugh and a whole load of fun. Sounded like a cross between a sewing machine and a miniature tractor. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigarette smoke? Vapour, please, and hopefully I'd be more subtle than some, say Tom O'Connor as opposed to Bernard Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the E-Cig thread Sure, I'll give you that if you like, if that's the style you prefer haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
