Maybe the dealership will let you debadge the back and put a Hyundai logo on it so you can knock the price down

Or maybe curb the tires on a test drive

Part of my negotiation ploy: "Well, it's just a Hyundai anyways..."

You can get your ears to pop in the performance Model 3, for sure. Mine maybe a little?

I'll read between the lines
but you never made me do anything like that for a ride in your car.
Hope your neck heals up fast.

Nice pics.

I drove a 3LR and a Y Performance yesterday. They were strangely fun.

Foot to the floor the 3LR is super disorienting even as a driver.

Definitely. The lack of instrument cluster looks weird in EVERY direction except from the driver seat.

Yeah, even the steering wheel itself. That was what was so "off" for me when I sat in a Model S awhile ago...I played around alot with the giant tablet and still, not used to it.

The interior is a big adjustment for me for sure. Still, happy for you guys and glad you're a satisfied owner. You'll always have the honorary cuck-badge despite leaving Audihood.

Believe it or not, I haven't done a lot of night driving in the car yet. The screen looks great in dark mode at night, of course.

Again, though, the lack of instrument cluster makes things weird. The area in which the driver is sitting is super dark. You can see it in the below picture from the Verge. It's not a problem, but it sure feels like I forgot to put my headlights on.

Got to drive my father-in-law's BMW i3. It was okay. I'm not sure it's all that exciting. BMW was supposed to cancel them but for whatever reason people still want them.

They're a great value right now.


When I was parking at my father-in-law's house, I got out of the Tesla and a guy on a bike yelled "fuck you". It wasn't Majofo, but it was still pretty funny.

What the fuck?

I have said it before, I want Tesla to succeed especially because they’re at the front of the pack with EVs, they’re a domestic brand, and even those things aside they’re challenging things like the dealership sales model.

I can understand the hate boner because their fans are SSFTSX-esque, but why insult some random owner?

My only guess is that TX is very petroleum-oriented.

They don't want to see a domestic brand succeed?

I mean, it wasn't a big thing, unless the fucker came and keyed my car when I wasn't looking. It was just...weird.

I did get an odd thumbs up from a guy in a Fiat. That was a little weird
