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. Last edited by DiCaprio; 10-18-2017 at 12:08 PM. |

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).

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. |

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. |
