Wow,,,I think at the point when you mentioned the 35 year old moving back in with the folks, I smelled supergeneus. Lol. Obviously in a straight line some of those cars are faster and for the uninformed, that is a great drive. However, the intangibles, like drivers experience and engagement, have so much more to add to the overall ownership experience. I think that taking the cars out on a twisty Canyon Road for just a few minutes will easily identify the different kind of experience. However, that said, most people who drive teslas seem to have similar interests in cars like the Prius, which in my humble opinion is easily one of the worst, no I won’t say worst but it just doesn’t seem like a real car, outcomes in recent history. I think that the model S was a great innovation because it actually allowed people to envision driving an electric car without having to drive a Prius. Other than that, I think it’s just a starting place or a place holder for what is yet to come with some really awesome electronic or hybrid vehicles that will come out in the next few years.That being said, I think that for my ear, I love to experience it through the exhaust, and that coupled with a little bit of gasoline, and that coupled with the thrust in the seat of my chest from awesome acceleration, and the feel of the wheel as you tear into a sharp corner, and the vibration of the car over The asphalt as you drift towards the next straightaway, as you…….You can see where I’m going here. I am a true believer and some fancy electronic golf cart is not going to change my mind. Cheers to all and please no flames. It’s a happy Monday and I am just enjoying a little tongue-in-cheek and fun for the work week.

The model S is a great car but falls short of a 911 TTS on several levels. Of course most of these relate to preference. For example, do you plan to the modify the car? Do you like being unique? Do you want it to handle well? Do you like the sound of a real motor? Do you want the car to go over 150 mph? Do you want a heavy sedan or a nimble sports car? The list goes on but they are very different cars.

Personally, I think the looks of the model S are boring. And to make matters worse, there is very little devation in appearance over the last five years. I see 2-3 white Tesla Model S cars a day. Are they fast from 0-60, yes. Is it faster 0-60 than my modded 997.2 TTS, no. Would I buy a model S as a second car? No, purely based on their looks.

But again, it’s all about preference. If you like the way it looks and are looking for a sedan it is definitly a choice to consider...

Fast charger is what 15 mins? They keep on bragging how fast their car is. Put it in track.
I love innovation but those interiors are cheap looking.
My 6 yo S-Class has better interiors than an S.
