Observation on Tesla drivers
Wondering.... I live in the Bay area which is a hotbed for Teslas. Dual motors, ludicrous, non ludicrous, all those cars are pretty fast - even the base 3, and they are everywhere. And yet in all my time here, I've *never* seen a Tesla actually haul a$$. Even a little. (I've experienced it once with my boss' car, doesn't count if I'm in it). Every day, the slowest cars on the road that I pass are P100 model S, or Dual motors 3, both of which are sub 4 second 0-60 cars. And I'm not driving illegally either. I don't get it, I commute mostly in an E-golf which is the relatively slow red headed stepchild of the E-world (don't judge, it's so cheap it's free), and yet every chance I get I stomp on it and enjoy that instant rush of torque, it's fun as hell... even if only 0-40, without being a hooligan... Based on my experience, filling a tesla probably costs only a few $ and is good for a week, so eeking out the extra miles might save you a quarter, you have all that fun torque, and you don't use it? Ever? I swear 99% of them drive like a Corolla with the handbrake on and eggs in the trunk... Odd. I'd have hoped that when people discovered the joys of instant power they'd use it a little, but it seems people just don't care - it's just transportation.... I guess car enthusiasts are a dying breed.
