I didnt buy a electric car because i was trying to be green or to save money on fuel. I bought it because I personally think the Model S is a good looking car. After i test drove one, i was blown away and really liked how it drove. That instant torque is just to much fun and on my daily 80 mile commute i use it often. There really is no ICE that has that instant thrust at the tip of your foot all the time feeling. Its pretty addictive and i really enjoy it. I love driving, but I LOVE auto pilot. On the rare occasion i get stuck in stop and go freeway traffic, Slogging along at 15 to 20 mph in bumper to bumper traffic isnt "driving" anyway. I'll just let the car handle it.
Like most on this board, I've had alot of cars over the years. Corvettes, Mustang 5.0 and GT350s, Mini Coopers, Challengers, BMWs, Porsches and many others. I don't think ive ever owned a car that i havent modified in some way or another. Yeck, i started buying parts to start ruining the tesla before i even brought it home. What can i say I'm a car guy. Right now it works for me. I know for a fact, in two years when i retire, it wont work for me and ill sell it. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying the ride.....
