Anyone that would pay that much for an electric vehicle is nuts anyways.

[TwoJ's]

Yeah, THEY'RE the ones who are nuts...

There was one at our last AutoX. Homogay car if you ask me. 195 front tires lol!

I suppose your car was faster?

I suppose your car was faster?

The car is what matters?





205's are for mileage savings. 100K+ for a feel good car.

The car is what matters?

In most cases, yes. And if you follow simple logic, we were speaking about cars here. Your question is off base.

i heard they were using Lotus axels and kept snapping em.

In most cases yes? Simple logic, you bring up whether the guys car was faster but yet you want to remove the driver from the equation. Might want to educate yourself on cars vs drivers.








Electric cars have a long ways to go. Until prices and ease of use is greatly improved, I'll be loving my gas guzzler.

None of you own a tesla.

astute observation.......

Saw one on the road a few times, one time accelerating and it was ODD not hearing any noise.... hmm I wonder if I can make my m30 silent like that hmm lol

If I'm dropping 100K on a car, I want something that will desecrate the planet with 12MPG, 2 seats and a million torques.

I get enough of that "feel good" thing riding a $300 bicycle to work everyday.

i heard they were using Lotus axels and kept snapping em.

They tried it on the test mule ( just a stripped lotus) but didn't last.. if you look at the tailend powerplant.. it much wider the the powerplant in the lotus the actual lotus axles were too long..

And yes there gay..
I love my Elise, I get awsome gas mileage and it's half the price of the Tesla and performs better....
Now if they could get a car like the 7series to perform like the Tesla with out or little gas I may drop 100k...

oh like a fisker...

100K+ for a feel good car.

I don't know about you but 3.7 seconds to 60 would feel pretty good to me.

There's no arguing a few things with the car. But for that kind of money and adding in all the other silly stuff like miles per charge and I'd gravitate to a gas car till the technology improves.
