I've never understood the massiveness of vehicles today as a whole

we're a nation of fat fucks that want to take our living room couch & entertainment center with multiple screens & surround sound plus a bunch of other happy horseshit with us on the road, can't cram all that into a Datsun.

Oh, and enough giant cup holders to hold 'biggie' drinks for you, the missus & the entire heard of up & coming fat fucks

These are very handy when we drive to Moab, 17 hours straight through other than a couple fuel ups and bathroom breaks.

I don't need them in my daily commuter.

Living in FL I dont leave the house without a Yeti with ice water in it for at least 9 months of the year.

Performance is a big issue / cause of the failure.

I think this one summed another bigger issue:

Fratzonic "exhaust" sound.....

Performance for the price. Tesla is considerably cheaper, better charging network, better tech, 4 doors gives the car better utility because neither is fast enough to be used for anything else.

The base Y 0-60 is 4.6. Performance is 3.5.

Here's more where I was going. Model 3 Performance.

Yeah a used plaid has my attention for sure. I see it as the ultimate muscle car, and a hell of a bargain right not. Almost too good to be true.

Well that doesn't fit the overalls and corn cob pipe aesthetic!

I wonder what multiple 1/4 runs do to the battery ? Could you take it to the strip , do 6 runs over the course of the night , then drive it 30 miles back home ?
You can do this with a Camaro .

How much battery is drained in each 1/4-mile race?​

According to Drag Times, Model S Plaid loses only 2% of battery after every quarter-mile drag race. While the 1,020 hp Model S Plaid can ideally run 50 quarter-mile races if charged to 100% before the first race.

Drag Times ran their Tesla Model S Plaid for 40 quarter-mile drag races to reach a 20% state of charge (SoC).

41st run at 20% SoC​

Tesla Model S Plaid completed the 41st quarter-mile run in just 9.96 seconds@136.40 mph. Launching even at a low 20% SoC, the Plaid performance can still embarrass many ICE sports and modified cars at the dragstrip.

Getting 40 runs in a day is a dream. You'd have to rent out the track. 4 runs is more realistic.
