To be completely fair, I did flirt with the idea of buying a C8 and even a used S Class, but didn't pull the trigger. Still thinking about adding a C8 vert, but the Plaid speed has kinda spoiled me and made it feel slow. I almost pulled the trigger a few times on the older Model S too, but the price changes turned me off. The Model S performance speed was always in the back of my head. Then the Plaid came out and the price started dropping, and I decided it was time.
The problem is, in the meantime, I bought another 24k mile 430 and the Plaid didn't replace either of them. Just add to them. And I have another toy. So, something has got to give. Might be the high mileage 430. But I love her. With all my heart. And I know she loves me. And it's gonna be a tough breakup, even though I know it's the right thing to do. Pray for us.

holy walk back. your first comment there sure made it sound directed at amirza (and perhaps others), might be nice if you'd clarified that you weren't including him.
i know of only one user here who is very sensitive about any criticism of tesla. elsewhere, of course there's lots.
no that's not it.
the back end in particular looks as cheap as a plain metal lunch box.

That's the Light bar on the second pic, it turns on when you unlock the truck

And yes, LS430s are stunningly good. I've garaged the Benz and am cutting the mileage I accrue in half and just been putting miles on the LS430. It is such a satisfying and luxurious car to drive. You guide it more than you drive it. And premium fuel definitely makes a difference, it gives it considerably more oomph down low. Definitely noticeable. Not to get into it again, but this car truly needs premium.

James May of Top Gear gives his take on the Cybertruck here. He spends probably the majority of the video just talking in detail about its styling and the steer-by-wire system.
Just as an aside note, he was always my favorite member of the famous Top Gear trio of Clarkson, May, and Hammond. Of the three, I thought he generally spoke and acted like an adult more than the other two. He also used to do a nice little write-up, in each copy of the old Top Gear magazine, about various automotive systems and how they work.

OK, sorry, did not notice that. Still an interesting video, though.

Edit: Why did they also add cooled ventilated seats in the 3, and why would they add more speakers to the car as well? None of these support your claim of cost cutting being passed on as "design." Tesla actually added features to their lowest model car (everything I mentioned is standard on the base model 3) that were all previously unique to the highest level car (S).

Holy smoke... where did you get this picture? I don't think I've seen another one like this for another brand. I have to agree though. Tesla love is real.
No one has ever said Tesla doesn't have faults, you have to point out where I ever said that. I've complained many times about them removing stalks, about the Cyber trucks looks. As far as putting everything in the infotainment screen, I love that, and most Tesla owners will tell you the same thing. And I stand by that no other auto makers can match their infotainment screen, software, and the speed in which they keep it updated. If you think that's brainwashing, then I don't know what to say
