Yeah, that's the most :flaccid: part about this thing.

Exactly. LTs would happen. Not familiar with NEP. Will need to look it up.

That's all that was gained with headers and exhaust? Plus its retarded loud now? That kind of sucks to be honest. . ****Tuning without a bunch of boltons is a waste. Boosted or not. I think we all know you can make tons of power with bolt ons in general

Those are pretty solid gainz for just headers and tune. :iono:

Retarded loud would suck :doe:

That's why I really like the NPP exhaust on C7s.

If we really end up with a garage instead of shitty street parking, the :plac: move might be something more like this:

or one of these goofy things:

It turns out that Bridgestone does make a real winter tire in the :225: size for the i3 - those being super skinny might actually be pretty good in the snow, plus fun because RWD.

ZL1 or :gtfo:

5th gen ZL1 seems more up your alley than a smaller and stiffened 6th gen 1LE... Don't you want a more compliant suspension?

I know, it's hard to see how you could go wrong with one of these at this price.

1LE has MSRC, which is the best of all worlds in one. 1LE in comfort mode seems to have have reviews for what I want.

A ZL1 would be :tits: my only beef is with the interior. I've driven gen 5 and gen 6 cars back to back, the gen 6 has more headroom, which I value significantly.

:notbad:

I figured that the 5th gen would be more spacious since it's bigger on the outside.

You should get the 19" ZL1 1LE :ramz:

Or just get a ZL1 1LE. :burnout: :troywax:

I'd love one, just a bit rich for me at the moment. I'd only make a move for a ridiculous :dill:

The seats for whatever reason go lower in the gen 6 than the gen 5. Overall it is smaller, but the headroom is :impressive:

Been trolling some teslas on CL... damn... pre 2014 models have had either the drive unit, the main battery and the main screen replaced... almost every single one. It is :neat: that tesla essentially extends your life by giving the free replacement but the reliability is pretty crappy in the "early" cars.

That's what will get them. Hopefully they dont have similar widespread issues with the 3. That could bankrupt the company.

They seem to have enough margin to absorb for now... and are continuing to expand volume... for now... it seems like it doesn't impact them too much. They aslo had terrible quality on 2012/13 model S's.
