likes:
stupid quick off the line
very smooth addicting quiet acceleration
huge interior display screen/ gadget intensive
love the wheels

dislikes:
stupid too big/ heavy
hate the 4 door look ... worthless giant back seat
never been a fan of tesla styling esp the hunchback rear window :barf:

bottom line:
a great straight line rocket ship
my 2000 corvette or 2012 bmw 128i handled better in the turns ... for reference the P85 is not a sports car
the i3 is a better daily driver city car

You're making me want an i3 when I need another daily. If my work was to let me charge for free while I worked I probably would get one.

I heard that the Tesla is actually quite fast on the track. It might not be a sports car, but the low center of gravity certainly helps with traction.

I actually kinda like Teslas Design, but i almost confused it with a Ford Mondeo as i was driving behind one when it was dark.

Hunchback!

I like the styling, but after hearing that, I'll forever see it that way lol.

What's funny is I build them, yet have never driven one. The styling of the Model S isn't bad, it's the Model X that I find odd. That's the one that I would call a hunchback (of the Model S).

[justanotherdrunk]

yea the x is even more hunchy

panamera :barf:

stole this from Google;
The sleek, low-slung Tesla has a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.24, the lowest of any production car. The Cd for the shorter, chunkier i3 is 0.29. With its similar frontal area, the narrow-but-high i3 thus has roughly 20 percent more total aerodynamic drag than the Tesla.

Hence the styling....... just a "hunch" as to why they did it.

[justanotherdrunk]

in 97 the then new c5 vette had a cd of 0.29 an industry best surpassed then only by the 96 ev1 electric car

0.24 is amazing

lotsa time in the wind tunnel

Let's just call it a hatchback instead of hunchback and everything will be better :D

Btw. I actually like the Panamera and Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake
Also the Model X still looks better than a Mercedes GLE Coupe imo.

How are the working conditions?
