I know they're built in Palo alto,California and have just discovered 'Plaid' model has a tri motor propulsion with quoted 0-60 time of under 2 seconds?? and price tag close to six figures or beyond! Would any insurance company want to insure such a thing...

Tesla has their own insurance that you purchase through them....

I really am not a Tesla fan at all. I rented one for a week back when I was legitimately interested in one as a potential next car. And while the instant torque and quickness off the line was a neat party trick... beyond that it was just an awful car. Build quality issues throughout, cheap materials, and the most soulless driving experience I've ever had (and I've driven my share of Toyota Corollas growing up). I came to the realization that Tesla doesn't make cars. They make tablet computers with a car attached to them. Great for the tech crowd.... not so much if you're an auto enthusiast. I can't say I've ever looked at my laptop and thought.... it would be cool if I could drive this thing.

The way you describe it makes me think it's a 'Tron' car, (from the film) for sure fast but as you say soulless and surprised that for that price a cheap interio.
Just read up that a pay extra option is coming in that the car will come to you in a car park

At least the Tron cars had some sound Teslas are silent with the exception of a bit of that electric whine you get from a toy RC car. Imagine blistering acceleration but without any of the drama that makes it interesting. No roar of the motor, no violent gear shifts, no variation in revs - it's all a bit too clinical to me... soulless.

If you are going to impress your wife or a date with the speed you may well have her passing out instead

You might be giving poor Tambo some ideas there mate. It'd dramatically improve his frequency.

I think that might have been the best first date I've ever had. Let's see how date 2 goes.

36 months, 10k miles/yr?

I also change out my loves every 3 years.

You know how it is when you get into a new ride though, sometimes...

[Tambohamilton]

You were high on the test ride??

I know... tough to wait for the recommended break-in period

[Tambohamilton]

Start as you intend to go on
