What should we call a group of Teslas?

I’m thinking swarm - that’s the name for group of electric eels. It’s a “sprinkle” of fireflies, so that doesn’t work at all.

I have no idea what they were doing here. Sometimes working in a soulless glass tower has its perks. Sometimes.

Did you see a white SLS Black Series parked there a few months ago? Nice cars there sometimes.

Came here to say this. If it’s not a Coil, I will never use whatever other term is came up with.

Dude come to the mall sometime they usually have this one posted inside and you can sit in it and mess with the touchscreen.

You should reconsider! Very cool pieces of tech wrapped in a beautiful package.

Fuck that let’s go do a test drive out in Long Island (I know they have a store on 25th Street but Manhattan traffic is no place for a proper test drive).

I just don’t care for electric cars. I like having my engine noises and linear throttle and the ability to refuel quickly whenever I want even if it costs some money. I don’t need or want unlimited torque, all this tech that will be obsolete in a few years time and, or expensive as hell to fix or replace, or all these technological distractions in my car for that matter. All I need is an engine, a transmission, a radio(I don’t even listen to the radio anymore), seats, and AC and heat as my creature comforts. I don’t need all that gadgetory. I just need a simple fun car. Apparently with all the tech and advancements in the world, that’s too much to ask for. Call me a luddite, Philistine, or waxing poetic, I just don’t care for them. At the end of the day, to me, they’re nothing more than giant RC cars.

EDIT: also, if you didn’t see my post this morning, I’m against appeasing tree huggers and environmentalists in general.

Also looks good in green, brown and white.

I am very much in favor of simple designs and less technology - I’ve written about it several times - but I think it’s a bit shortsighted to apply that bias to a car like the Model S. The whole point is that it’s a giant chunk of future sitting in your driveway; disliking it just because of its tech-heavy approach is like hating on a supercar for being loud. You can say “That’s not for me” while acknowledging that the the car is quite an achievement for an independent manufacturer.

I also don’t think that its development and early success come from a desire to appease environmentalists, whatever that means. Musk saw a hole in the market (really an absence of a market) and went after it.

Yep I love the British Racing Green they have, white always looks good because of the black grill and I've never seen brown until today but me gusta!
