I'm a big fan of Elon Musk the engineer. This car is the absolute best driving machine I've ever driven. Kinda blows the Golf R outta the water. And it's the "cheap" Tesla (Model 3 Performance). I can't see myself going back to an IC vehicle. And yes, I had a lot of fun with my R. Expensive to maintain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Note that Musk didn't engineer the Tesla, he has little to no engineering background, he just bought the company and is the pitchman. The guy who deserves credit for engineering the Teslas is Peter Rawlinson, who left in 2012 but mostly they've been iterating on his Model S design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in space industry and appreciate his contributions to commercial space with SpaceX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Guy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Looks like we should have everybody but Dillon. Both Watson and Alexander are questionable. It's playoff time, they better suit up and go. I like our chances; I don't know why but i do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Watson back would be great, but I'm feeling more confident in other guys to continue their great play. Love seems to have found a really good rhythm without Watson in there. The more that can play the merrier, so hopefully these guys are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think he can get by that secondary for a deep one or two. Melton could probably as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Golf R before this that was really grabby on snowy roads. I really enjoy winter driving. It's sporty. I work for an energy company and working with EV charging stations etc, so I’ve been eyeballing an EV for awhile. Teslas are nice and probably what I’ll settle on. I’ve heard they’re beasts in the snow actually but I just don’t like the way some of them look. Wanted a Rivian before they came out but I’ve heard they’re crap from a number of people.

Wanted a Rivian before they came out but I’ve heard they’re crap from a number of people. Agreed on the looks. I found one I REALLY liked though. Dark grey, tinted windows with bright red brake calipers. Sharp looking version of it. I do like the X as well, but that's outta my price range. AWD was a must for me for winter driving. And I'm a sporty driver and love the speed in the summer, too. Ridiculously fast car. The Golf R feels like a Prius in comparison ha. There are some encouraging data on the longevity of the latest generation Model 3s as well. Cheap car to maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 What I dislike when purchasing a Tesla is all the work you have to go through to make sure it's in good shape when you purchase it. (Checking for damaged parts, paint issues, etc.) Don't take it to a normal car wash, you will ruin the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieHigh Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Love my dieselgate vw. Will ride it till the wheels come off. I dont drive enough miles to see the savings on a tesla. Ideally could get a joy ride gt3 someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I drive a chevy 3500 diesel, with load getting like 9 mpg. Kinda undoing all the work you homies are doing. But also these past few years my main job site has been pouring foundations for methane gas agitator tanks. So kinda doing more work for the environment than the average homie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
