Tesla Product Announcement at 7pm Central Time

[Mook]

THEY ARE STILL PRODUCTION CARS YOU KNOB.

 

[Mook]

And if I had that kind of money, I wouldnt be walking into either of those dealers anyway. For the record.

If you are going to be that anal then every single car ever physically "produced" is a production car. Whether they made 100 or 10.

Personal preference of said money and cars is not the point.


HOPE THIS HELPS LOL

 

[Mook]

If its a car offered to the public, its a production car. Something that is maybe limited to 100, 1000 or 10...it would then be a LIMITED production car.

The characteristics of a production vehicle or production car are mass-produced identical models, offered for sale to the public, and able to be legally driven on public roads (street legal).

Can you purchase a Ford GT? Nope. Can you purchase a LaFerrari? Nope. The 918 is sold out.



You cannot purchase the Ford or Ferrari without being "Approved and invited"



Not production.,

I can buy all of those cars. Just my check would bounce.

 

[Vogz]

or the Cubs hitters pounding the shit out of the ball...

Fixed that for you...

 

[Gone_2022]

Ok since we are being very specific.

Find a "limited or non limited Production" car that is in the same class as the Tesla that can put up those numbers from the factory.

basically 4 door car, seats 4-5 comfortably, with a trunk, etc. non super car

 

[Mook]

I dont even know whats going on in this thread. I just saw you saying those cars werent production cars in live feed and hopped in real quick

Was the LaFerrari technically offered to the public though? And I am asking seriously. I thought Ferrari Approached you and asked you if you wanted to purchase it.

 

[Mook]

Offered to the public, having to be invited in. Its still a limited run production car that the public could buy..............with an invite.

 

[Gone_2022]

I hate you

M5, Porsche Panamera, S6, etc. will all stomp a Model S....around a road course.

 

[Gone_2022]

I would actually be very curious to see a new Model S at a road course and see how far off the lap time it is from those cars.

C&D just tested one. The S is slow.

That sucks

In other news.... Holy Corvette Grand Sport touching Ferrari 488 times.

Because you are getting this performance from a family 4 door car that is still priced in the area of a high end BMW and Mercedes. It is not priced in the LaFerrari category or even a Huracan Level. Because you can silently get some groceries, and at a stop light ruin even the most expensive Naperville supercar at the next stoplight.

i don't discount that it's a good car, it's a fast car, and that it's cool.

i just look at the above scenario though and say who cares? so what if i beat a lambo with my pumpkin spice from a stoplight? how many times am i going to do that? am i going to tell myself i'd rather have the model s than the lambo? cuz i lie to myself about going to the gym but i don't think i'd buy that one. i'm not a drag racer but the pride you can take in being one would be your wrenching and your launching skills, neither of which seem to even matter much for one of these cars. so i look at this scenario as great... but also who cares.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

The Tesla is super fast for what it is, and how much money it is...but again, its a trade off. At, call it $100k, the interior finish and ride are no where comparable to say an S550 or A8.

Don't get me wrong...I'd probably drop the cash and buy one if I didn't have four kids, but you are making trade offs for what you get.

 

[Grabber]

Factory Production cars? Many many many cars that can destroy the Tesla in every performance aspect?

Please provide the list. It must be a production car. The LaFerrari is not, The Ford GT is not, the 918 is not, The P1 is not.


I will await the list of factory cars you can go out and purchase today that will beat it in every category.

Oh..... and thats not a super or hyper car that can seat 5 people, with a trunk and has 4 doors that you can drive to and from chicago every single day in traffic

I think you're stretching a bit man.

Is the Tesla a great bargain for a family sedan that can go 0-100 fast? Sure is. For the price point, I can also argue you can get a CTS-V sedan fully loaded and modified to run a helluva lot faster, seat 5 and have bells whistles to tickle your balls all day if you'd like.

Comparing a car meant for commuting and every day driving vs. cars that are designed specifically for one thing to prove a point is moot.

No one is saying the Tesla is slow. But, saying it is super fast and only multi-million dollar hyper cars (BTW name one PRODUCTION hypercar please) can compete is naive to me.

I get it, you love Tesla's.

Yes I love Tesla's But you cannot use the modified CTS-V as an example. Your original post said you could get a list of many factory cars that would destroy it in every aspect.

That means the way they roll off the factory line.

I was simply saying if there is a list. Its very very small, not many as you stated.

Good point.

Despite the list being small, there are cars that will still outperform it.

But, comparing it to a Hyper car is like comparing a V6 Mustang to a ZR1. Completely different leagues.

and AWD for winter!

Hey jackholes. Who cares if they're mass produced? You're comparing a goddamned 5 person electric sedan with a LaFerrari. The fact that the two cars can even appear in the same sentence together says all that needs to be said. You don't need to argue semantics for it to be impressive. Anyone that doesn't think that's cool is a) stupid (ask Toddler Mike K) and b) won't have their mind changed no matter how much you argue about whether or not the cars are mass produced or not.
