The new model Y SUV is releasing tonight. Press conference is at 8 P.M. To bad I'm going to miss it. Have to be at a city council meeting to help get the new Porsche/Subaru dealership get built.

Elon speaks too much tonight

The Y is just a Model 3 with taller roof and 7 seats

EDIT: I actually like the look of it.



EDIT: the diffuser looks like there is an exhaust tip lol

I think the Model S was the only one with the nicer front end maybe due to the front end?

The Tesla front looks like there is no "mouth" on the car so it looks weird like: https://photoshopstar.com/media/2010...face_07big.jpg

has anyone taken a look at the tesla 3 base or partial premium? Tempted to sell the suv to switch to one of these since the price is right.

also, with teslas i guess there's no need to haggle on price?

For me the model s is the only one with any sort of legitamite “styling” I really like the look of the S and would heavily consider it if I could afford it lol

The rest of the lineup looks like some college kids attempt at amateur “aero” design. The mouthless bumpers look like ass imo.

We have a friend who’s parents both bought model 3’s and one night after a few drinks the guy went off on the incredible styling and how it is such a beautiful car etc.

Really? The thing is the definition of bland.

I'm not a fan of the Model 3, but I do think that the Y looks slightly better than the X4/X6/GLC Coupes of the world...

Look at all the cars rented on Turo. I see 4 just in Vancouver. End of the day it's all about the money.

My experience as a customer using Turo was miserable as fuck and there’s so many extra charges and BS it ends up not being a good deal in most cases... not that renting a car from most regular rental places is all that pleasant most times either... I have been having extremely pleasant experiences recently with Alamo though, renting compacts and getting whatever they have even a Infiniti Q50 in Los Angeles a week ago.

Pro tip — if you’re ever in Waikiki and rent from Alamo, just reserve the lowest / cheapest class and show up at opening time, they’re so packed for space there they just give you whatever is easiest to get out of the parking lot so you always get a massive upgrade. Got a 5.0 Mustang last time for my “Nissan Sentra or equivalent” rental. They even had a couple of ND Miata’s there last May.

Something to keep in mind if you plan on using your credit card insurance or 3rd party optional auto insurance to cover the rental car coverage and you get a free upgrade. If you read the fine print, it may say they cover you for a vehicle up to a set amount dollar amount. If you rent a vehicle over that amount, then you're not covered. I checked my Visa and it's $65k. I believe my BCAA option auto insurance is $60k.

There is a thread on RFD where a guy rents a cheaper SUV, the rental agency didn't have one so they gave them a more expensive SUV. This was during the winter and the SUV didn't have winter tires, so the guy crashed it. His credit card declined coverage because the value of the premium SUV was over the $60k limit.

^ Thats a horrible video, terrible driving, 0-100-0 done in time instead of shortest distance? Since when? Range of the BMW listed in mpg which isn’t even a range statistic... complaining that you can’t hear the individual tires squealing because the exhaust is too loud... I mean come on...

i thought naught-100-naught was always done as a timed metric, but 100-0 done as a distance...either way it did well considering it's 4100lbs

but yeah, top gear has really fallen off

Call me a traitor, but after driven a Tesla X, S, and the current gen Acura NSX. I'm a firm believer in EV... not necessary Tesla, but EV in general.

Yes, the NSX isn't exactly an EV, but it showed me what's needed to push ICE cars beyond the limit. And that's a fucking electric powertrain.

Tesla Roaster is going to do 0-100 in under 2sec even with all the battery weight and stuff. A feat that no current production ICE is capable of. (fastest came at around 2.3, which Model S P100D already beat) Furthermore, any hypercar manufacturer worth their salt are all going electric in at least some form of hybrid. Because if you can't beat them, join them.

Because if they didn't, not a single hypercar would pass EU emissions standards, not necessarily because they're all going hybrid for performance purposes.

Any member here wants to PM me their referral (not sure if this is against the rules, if so, plz delete this mods... thx)?

In-law is about to order their Model 3 some time before the summer and I thought I could hook up some RS fellas.

Only thing I ask in return: if you do end up winning the Tesla Roaster with the referral, let me borrow it for a week.

Given Elon's history of inflating figures, I am not holding my breath.

Sure, give it torque, but at the end of day, if your tires can't grip, it's all useless. Traction limit will come in at some point, which is about 2 seconds from 0 to 60.
