    What do you mean you have both? I thought this was your parents car?

    I got feel for anyone that took delivery in the months prior to Thursday's across the board model price drop. There seems to be quite a few salty people on Tesla forums that feel that got rooted hard.

    There are 2 kinds of drivers. Those who like to drive and those who just want to get to point A and B.
    Those are Tesla drivers. I can never. Nope. I need the exhaust rumble and hearing the engine rev.
    My 911 turbo gets maybe...10mpg. Never thought "shit, damn things a gas guzzler" . It's a fuckin blast to drive on the freeway and going into corners. Gives you a hard-on full boost.
    The Tacoma does what a truck does. Never regretted buying it. Not the most economical but ...IT IS A TRUCK.

    If I was 17yrs old and needed to be stealth driving home the girlfriend at 2am , I'd consider it.

    I'm sorry ....the model 3 is one UGLY car.

    I don’t live in a city, so there’s not a bunch of charging stations near me and I might have more miles of dirt roads than paved roads.. my garage has a bunch of other toys..so I wouldn’t install a charger at my house and I don’t think I can drive a Tesla to Baja ...so for me , the Tesla doesn’t make sense.. but if I lived in city where gas stations are a nightmare and had charging stations around , I’d consider it for sure...but they fucking ugly (all models)

    I sure hope not. There's already too many goons that park at the pump so they can go inside and take a shit, and never even buy gas.

    Spending over $4,000 a year in fuel myself has me looking to get a “gas saver”, but I’m keeping my truck because it’s badass for what i built it to do. Plus I just want a second car that’s good on gas but also fun, so I’ll probably be going with a 2019 Civic hatchback sport with the 1.5T and 6 speed.

    Not a chance! Can be enough pain in the ass just getting gas when busy or in a hurry, definitely don't need the added annoyance of finding and taking time to charge.

    If I didn’t need a truck I would 100% consider a model 3. I think they’re awesome, perfect commuter especially if you can charge at work.

    Not just in Cali as they discussing this. Governments are gettting way less income due to the fuel efficiency of vehicles, and road funds are dwindling. We will all be paying mileage fees soon.
