What happened?
She ghosted the property management company after submitting the rental app, and then ghosted us. Having that dump truck ass and her corgi pup prancing around the house was too good to be true.
I loved her.

Dead last in 2020 IQS. Fake news then?
They have quality issues like paint and quite a few issues with things like door handles breaking. Early teslas 2012-14s had motor unit failures which have nearly all been replaced.
Dude, you still talk about the bubbling hatch paint on C5 Corvettes to this day... this is not acceptable in a near $100K car.

The problem is that's what it is! You're either speeding up or slowing down, there's no coasting no matter how hard you try. That's a different feeling than a normal ICE vehicle, and I can see how that could bother people with motion sickness.
Coasting is a valuable component of driving to me, often times I put the trans into neutral as I approach a condition that requires gradual deceleration, especially on country roads when there's more time and room for speed changes. It definitely makes the drive smoother and more enjoyable for the kids in the back of the car.
I enjoy this in a :manuel: car, looking ahead and seeing if I should be in N/2/3/4/5/6 depending on how much if any I need to slow and how rapidly. I like making a game out of driving around town as it's otherwise boring. To that point though, I think one pedal driving would be pretty fun.

It isn’t, however there is no competitor that comes close imo. I have a Tesla coming here over the weekend. Will make a big review after

:nice:

Your points are certainly valid with the charging network and whatnot. They are just so meh to me though, it's like every tech/banker BRO has bought a Tesla, they are everywhere and sort of an expected choice. But if you want EV, they're impossible to ignore.

Current idea is to get an EV. I haven't yet found anything that is interesting enough.

Model 3 Performance doesn't scratch your electric itch?
Model 3 in general doesn’t. Too many “Tessie” basic bitches rolling in them.

Yeah that could be a new activity... How much less gas pedal push do I need to land at the stop light smoothly. I do like to drive smoothly when just putting around, and it sounds like the braking can be controlled with software, so there is an element if learning there. My car has an automatic trans, so I already lost my man card. :ohwell:

I think it’s still fun regulating coasting speed with DSG, it’s not like it just makes you stay in highest gear at all times while coasting.

Here it’s all middle management bankers and late 20s brogrammers. Still not really something I’d want to be a part of.

Are any electric sports cars coming? The Taycan seems epic, it would be cool if they did a $60k Boxster EV or something.

No interest in Taycan. I would rather have an electric Suv/truck than a sports car. I’m looking for something practical to :derp: in and I also want it to have some ballz/be somewhat unique and interesting.

Maybe the mustang Mach E GT …. But somewhat shitty range and 66k for an unproven Ford has me cautious.

Current front runners are likely Tessies and I3s
