"The Tesla Model S P85D, all-wheel-drive electric sedan
performed “better in our tests than any other car ever has, earning a perfect road-test score.”
Actually, it did better than that, scoring 103 points in a scoring system that, “by definition,” doesn’t go past 100.

Tesla Stock (after the crash) still at $245.00

they should have just said "all of its dials go to 11"

They may not be good, but they're loud!

I don't see what the big deal is

There's a lot of amazing stuff out there for rich people with disposable income.

The S model is just one of those things

Tesla will really take off when they start making practical cars, and that's coming.

Which is an interesting case of "what to produce first - high end or low end?"

If Kia or Hyundai came out with a luxury sports car, would anyone take it serious from day 1?

High end first works way better. People scoop up the low-end models from M-B, BMW, Land Rover, etc.

But when it goes the other way it's often a flop. See VW Phaeton. It was an excellent car, and they sold about 23 of them in the US.

Great movie!

Well played gentlemen!

They certainly will

But the X won't be nearly as nice and it's dials won't go to 11

The sacrifices you make to save $90,000.

Love me some Regular Car Guy reviews. He just did the 2004 Phaeton. And works in references to Caitlyn Jenner, Tesla, Starbucks, and bi-curious women in Brazil!

I didn't even know it existed.
The first problem is the name. If I don't know how to pronounce it, I move on to something else.
This usually involves ethnic food.

Holy shit! A Tesla thread with ZERO Mantana resident commentary!?!

At least 93 is attempting to VW hijack this fucker, some things you can still count on in life.

Yeah, I wish I could afford one.

And they've even got the mileage up to 452 miles on a charge! You just have to drive 25 mph!

I saw a charging station off I-90 in Superior, MT of all places back in June.

The article gushes over the rating and mainly talks about speed and acceleration…why should I care about that?

How much are you paying for it between financing and insurance and maintenance and replacing/fixing parts that may be hard to find? How reliable is it?

An electric car is CR's wet dream. The only thing that could top it is a Japanese version.

Aren't they making a $30,000 model?

In theory. It'll be $50k with a few options and the market adjustments that will get slapped on it.

Of course, the car isn’t perfect, says the report. Its 200-plus mile range can be a concern on a long drive if a charging station isn’t nearby. (Consumer Reports clearly hasn’t heard of Bjørn Nyland, a programmer who recently drove 452.8 miles on a single charge in a P85D by cruising at 25 miles per hour.)

Is that serious? You can drive 452.8 miles if you drive at 25 miles per hour? Is that supposed to seriously be like a positive thing?

Neither Tesla nor CR brought it up, so no.

You can probably go 452.8 miles in an H2 if you go 25 mph too.
