    Looks like solid improvements, torque vectoring sounds cool. 190k is a bit of a lol but irrelevant.

    And how much are other production cars in the <9.0s 1/4 mile and 0-60<2s territory? Is there even one? McLaren 765LT or Bugatti Chiron perhaps?

    That said, even financing that amount over 96 months is more than my mortgage! Guess I won't be driving one anytime soon.

    Is this another track hawk discussion?

    Can’t win with the Tesla fanbois, I make a complimentary post but point out it’s expensive. Get shit on anyway, either full cult of Elon or bust.

    Fuck it, the car is still an incredibly ugly domestic made car and a bench racer one trick pony with Kia build quality. Can’t remember, do they make this one in a tent?



    I’ll answer your question with a question, do you really think anyone wants to buy a model S over even the slowest mclaren?

    We are talking about a dodge demon versus a gorgeous supercar, not even a debatable cross shop.

    Estimated delivery of March for the long range or the "regular" plaid. Late 2021 for the Plaid +

    Steering wheel reminds me of KITT

    Fair's fair...not a fan of the build quality either, but c'mon, comparing it to a Kia?! Those K cars have way better build quality than Tesla!

    There's that guy on YT that recently picked up a 765lt and also owns several Tesla's (Teslae?). I guess if you can afford any of the rarest supercars in the world, you can also afford a Plaid+ Model S.

    But to speak to your point, the Plaid+ Model S isn't just a one-trick pony. Wasn't Elon's goal to outrun the Lucid Air on Buttonwillow or one of those Cali tracks? It's at least got some track prowess to it.

    Is 9.23@155 mph trap speed faster than a 1989 Mustang Coupe? Asking for SKR.

    I despise that steering wheel, but I like everything else. Won't be getting rid of my mine for this.

    What does Tesla have against us Canadians?

    Base Model S is $81,190 US vs $114,990 CA for a 42% markup. Exchange has been hovering around 1.28-1.30 lately.

    The Plaid isn't as bad at $121,190 vs $159,990 for 32% and $141,190 vs $189,990 for 35% for the Plaid +

    But still the extra for Plaid + over the regular Plaid is $20K US vs $30K CA for a 50% difference. Do they really not want us to buy these?

    It is similar for the Model 3 which to be honest is a big reason I drive the car I do. In the US the price difference between the G70 3.3T Sport and the Model 3 isn't nearly as much as here in Canada. Same with every other manufacturer.

    It will be interesting to see how Ford prices the Mustang Mach E in Canada vs the US and same with Mercedes with the EQ models. If the Canadian models sell for more like a 15-20% premium like other vehicles in their fleets they might be really good deals in Canada.

    Considering they sell every car they make, why wouldn’t they pocket a little extra bit off the top.

    Their buyers don’t seem to care how bad they get ripped off.

    @blownz Tesla is not a car company. Tesla is not a car company. Tesla is not a car company.

    It would bother me too. But then again, I can't afford one either way.
