Looking for some Yospinions on the 2017 Tesla... I'm seriously considering dropping the cash on a deposit. I mean, the car looks sleek as hell and $1,000 is hardly anything. My only worry is that we have no idea what the electric car landscape will be like a year from now and I might even be living somewhere that allows me to bike to work. Still, since the deposit is refundable, I think I might just do it. Anyone else in the same situation or already got a preorder in?

Yeah I did op but I think I'm way far back in line so I might cancel it because I'll be able to afford a model s by the time it comes out

Not sure this is the car for you, Squeezy! There's no odometer you can run backwards.

I'm pretty sure that in two years (actually three years) I will want to buy this $35k (actually $45k) midrange vehicle and beta test it while they work out the bugs for next year.

I don't have the money to put down buying a new car, even eventually, and I'm not the biggest fan of how the car looks, Squeezy Farm.

Also, electric cars are inherently inferior because they don't make entertaining noises.

if you don't think electric vehicles have a cool sound of their own, you have bad opinions about vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1KUoRKGJTs Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Apr 9, 2016 |

if a tesla was gasoline powered (non-hybrid) but otherwise identical, would you still buy it?

Which is exactly the idea behind my new kickstarter project "Real cars for the rest of us" a playlist of realistic car sounds as vocalized by famed actor and artist Michael Winslow. Now everyone can enjoy the pleasant overtures of a super charger or the invigorating rapport of a V8. Smart car drivers everywhere will be able to feel like they too own a real car.

I don't know a single tesla owner that has not had to have their car taken back to tesla on a flat bed truck due to software issues that made it undrivable. it's true that all other car makers are shithead idiots when it comes to software, but at least their doors keep working day after day and they can keep refueling / recharging.
