I'll go first: I've got a 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II. This car lives in my garage in Woodstock, Vermont. My C63S Cabriolet lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Lol, no point in racing myself, I know the result already… Model 3 Performance is mad fast, C63S feels like C300 after I drive the Tesla for a while
I know...when I first saw the published 0-60 time on the performance model, I was tempted to take a really close look at one...I just couldn't bring myself to go electric. I love the sounds of a IC engine. Also, no offense, but just not a fan of Telsa's exterior design language. I know there's purpose to it (especially low Cd), but I just don't like the bulbous back side...oh, and it's electric.
Sounds like a great combination with a C63 though...maybe have to convince my wife to look at one soon.
Whats the real world range on the Model 3P after a couple spirited launches? The performance is pretty impressive, but this is expected now from dual motor electric cars.
2019 C63S Selenite Grey, 2018 911 Turbo, Guards Red

Agree with the sentiments. Lots of cool things about Tesla cars, but I'm not ready to make the leap yet. It would be cool to have both types of cars, but I'm holding out for 500 mile range versus 300ish. We shall see what Porsche's entrant does and that may change my mind, though I'm thinking of a 911 turbo to replace my old one now. Lots of other cool electric cars will be coming. The numbers show very low uptake by consumers despite the push by the auto manufactures. They really need the adoption if they are going to hit their gas milage targets in Europe.
I hear you all, I was afraid to get one too. 6 month in and I'm not regretting buying an electric car. I have large wheels on it so I get less miles, I think it's around 250 realistic miles on 90% charge level and I don't drive slow. Supercharging is easy and really fast too. Just rent one on Turo for the weekend and ask me later for the Tesla referral link lol
For something a little different. A '19 Chevy Colorado ZR2 in blue. It's perfect for those days when the terrain or weather calls for something a little different. Unfortunately, it's a tight fit in the garage which is typically reserved for the AMG. By the way, I considered getting a "Brilliant Blue" C63S Cabriolet which is almost a perfect color match. You can see how close the blue Cab is in the above photo parked near my truck. This Brilliant Blue C63S was nice but I wanted a hardtop.
