I think it’s just my good luck that I haven’t had to lay eyes on one of these yet.

I am excited to see it in person though, certainly a novelty.

??? What are you talking about? I never said that either. All I said was you live in a bubble. Teslas sell disproportionately in huge numbers in the Bay area. You being surprised by the reaction on here illustrates you live in a bubble. No idea why you're so defensive, it's just a comment. Your exposure to Tesla is totally different than most of the country.

I am defensive because I am constantly singled out here for some sort "bubble" comments. Look no further than the BMW convertible gate. So here I am all butthurt.

Correct. It’s actually relatively well priced for what it is… essentially a loaded wrangler stickers the same way but doesn’t come with a “proper engine” unless you 392 at which point it’s 100k.

But it gets abysmal mpg and has like 10 turns lock to lock and terrible turn radius and it may not fit into most garages due to width and height

I’m still at 0 of those. They seem shockingly well built for a brand new car company

Seen a few hanging out at the Ferrari dealer. They seem.... decent? I dunno. The side attachment rail things are stupid. But otherwise the truck seems decent.

I was thinking the same, for $80k or whatever like 95% of people will think it’s a G Wagen. It looked awesome.

It's much more interesting than a G Wagen.

Agreed, I’m not a G Wagen person at all but they are status symbols and really fucking expensive. This thing delivers in all those ways and is a quite interesting choice, particularly at a much lower price point.

This was really well maintained... 2X spark plug changes by 50k miles. Those things run $1500 per. Main thing I didn't like in this car was the quality of the seats ... they were either bathed in tire shine or completely worn out. Really hard to see in pics.

Coated in farts probably.

Hearing your complaints with the F80 platform really makes me happy I went with a GM smallblock for a powerplant.
M3 is a hell of a machine, definitely a step up in the status world but, I like a car I can thrash on.
