German drugstore chain Rossmann said that Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump, the Republican candidate who calls climate change a hoax, goes against Tesla's mission—and it wants out.
True, but here I can get a used dual motor long range 3 for 20k. Can get a little older fast S for 17k. The Mach E GT is pretty on par with that but they’re 10-15k more and half a second slower in the quarter mile. I know it shouldn’t matter, but it does to me, it’s my thing.
Why not get a frame from a scrap yard and have one built, mind ya this only works if ya have the liquad cash but imagine a 1995 Toyota 4runner but its all electric.
I’ve looked into it. It’s still pretty pricey. I’m sure at some point in the near future swap parts will become more available and less expensive. When that happens, I’ll make a neat sleeper.
Why not buy from one of the other car brands?
I’m a car guy. It has to be fast. Nobody else has that fast at that price.
TIL there is actually one legit selling point.
If you don’t mind used, plenty of cheap fast EVs. I got mine for more than half off that was 2 years old and has 13k miles
Mach-E GT’s are a steal right now
Taycans aren’t that much more expensive than a Model S, each starts ballpark 100k Euro.

Does the Tesla have the ignition on the left side of the steering wheel? Those are the things that really matter.
(Ok it’s a power button not an ignition but it’s still on the left).

Illegal in Norway. So many people would be building their own, but when the laws make them illegal, they’re not built. It’s bullshit.
Why is it illegal? I there are hundred year old car frames out there doing great, so why outlaw frame and interior reuse.
No idea. Just remember reading about it years ago. https://www-nrk-no.translate.goog/dokumentar/xl/hvorfor-lonner-det-seg-a-kaste-bilen_-1.15232892?_x_tr_sl=no&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp link to translated article.
