Most cars have launch control so shitty driving moto jornos don't get better times. Especially because they rarely used prepped surfaces like we used to have at HRP. Typical street race is like 60-130 on the freeway. The 1/4 mile is the gold standard. The texas mile is the greatest.
the bad: - covered in blades/knives - referring to the sharp and dangerous panels - interior is too cheap for a $100K car - as expected for a Tesla - creaks, squeaks, motor whine, wind buffeting - visibility is horrendous. some parts of their drive, the back camera was dirty and thus had no rear view mirror. a-pillar is huge. - headlights seemed it was pointed upward "because they were shining in everyone's eyes and not on the road" - ride is not good - bumpy, crashy the good: - handling - excellent - the balls they had to make this period and the engineering that went into it to make it happen - everyone is ooh and aahing everywhere it was parked conclusion: ultimately a flex vehicle. nothing else.
Something else the said is it can give you some false confidence in terms of defying physics. i.e. the car makes you think you are driving a more lighter nimbler car but it's a heavy big truck...so going around those roads on yosemite with no guard rails, you can get yourself into a sticky situation.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT.......................the wheel.... how long did they test it? from parking lot to the other parking lot? gosh, suckers paying to be beta testers at 100K.
Seems like a lot of work to keep it from becoming a rust bucket. It's worth noting, though, that Tesla does mention the possibility of corrosion in the owner's manual, in a passage that makes maintenance for the brutalist pickup sound exceedingly fussy. "To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.)," the company's documentation reads. "Do not wait until Cybertruck is due for a complete wash." "The Cybertruck’s exterior is susceptible to corrosion, as acknowledged in the manual," one Cybertruck Owners Club forum member, who posted screenshots of the documentation, wrote. "Once the oxide barrier is compromised, corrosion initiates." https://futurism.com/cybertruck-owners-already-rusting
I don't give a **** about the cybertruck, but isn't true of all cars? I've always been taught to remove bird **** once it hits the car because it can eat through the paint/coating and start creating rust issues.
I remember an old roomie of mine, whose dad had one of those little 90's jaguar coupes....I got chastized for putting my hand on the hood. Sorry, but that's why I asked the "how fancy" question
