    Batcoma, all paths of inquiry eventually lead back to Condorman (1981).

    Can you do that with the AC on? I don't see any humidity in that test.

    I was exaggerating to make my point. Either way your focusing on the wrong thing.

    I would think the center of mass ratio / wheel base / track width is actually closer to a sports car. It’s an EV my dude , battery on the bottom.

    When I drove the Tesla model Y around it felt close to my 1” dropped fiesta ST vs my friends rav4

    I'm messing with you bud, no one has even reviewed it for handling. The water fording claim has proof. We shall wait and see about it's sports car like handling sometime soon.

    True no doubt they have the power. I am skeptical if you add 14 inches of clearance to the mix even with a low evenly distributed center of gravity. The Ford Mach E specifically focuses on sharpening the handling knowing it could be better than the Tesla.

    Yep, all the weight in on the bottom. It also has hydraulic active suspension so it will handle well, like a sports car, I"m skeptical.

    I thought it had hydraulic suspension but it can adjust lower and higher using air suspension. So no need for a lift kit.

    I guess that’s what “handle like a sports car” means to him even though a stock Miata couldn’t do it either.

    I watch F1 cars do turns at that speed and it's cringe worthy to watch.

    Yeah, having to exaggerate to make a point doesn’t really make the point.

    they are an 18 year old company. Founded by not musk in 2003 and have had quite a bit of government support over the years. I will be happy with an ev when im tired of my taco in 10-20 years. Tesla probably wont exist in that time frame.

    Musk is good at taking money for products that dont actually exist. His competitors on the other hand actually build product at scale. At some point reality will take over. How is that boring tunnel concept going? Last i saw it debuted with a tesla. One lane. With a human driver. So much revolution! El Chapo had that in a mexican prison.

    Enough to know its in its infancy and is not a sure thing. Cheap internet from space has so far bankrupted all who have tried it. Its nothing world changing and its also not the only game in town. I wish Musk well but im not going to huff his farts.

    Or Spacex per chance? Definitely off the ground with that one.
