So looking at my wife's model Y boost option takes it from 4.8 to 4.2 or 6 tenths of a second. If the same were true for the AWD CT you could be looking at 3. 5 0 to 60? That is right there with
Not sure it is possible for faster acceleration to be dumb. When I saw it in the showroom it looked sleek like a car not bulky. It seemed to say to me more power. Not looking to brag to anyone about anything either seems you may have some emotions to work out. Visibility is the one thing I don't like about it. I would prefer to blend in so hoping they offer some cloaking tech to make it look like a chevette
They can sense my midlife crisis and the crink in my neck from doing 0-60 in 2.6 seconds..
? at least you’re not screaming it like the guy in the red corvette convertible with the comb over and overly-applied after shave
+1. I ordered CB FS for this exact reason. I drive Porsche, which I need to sell now. When I made the switch from BMW to Porsche four years ago, I was blown away on how much difference the acceleration makes even during regular commute. It's not just 0 to 60 launch. It's the thrilling acceleration you feel every time you drive. I also ride a Ducati. When you get the same motorcycle experience inside the safety of a car, it's a whole different world. It'll definitely put a smile on your face every time you drive. It's hard to explain in words. If you have driven a super fast car or motorcycle, then you know what I'm talking about.
That I don't want to brag about something means I have emotions to work out? That has to be one of the most idiotic things I've ever read. I don't need to flex on anyone or brag to feel validated. I'd suggest the exact opposite as would most psychiatrists.
Well, with all due respect, I would argue Tesla is simply constrained or still needing to work within the constraints of conventional physics and chemistry. They will invariably maximize the potential of design they can. It’s easier to create something that digests energy than it is to create something that can easily provide and or store energy needed for massive energy use. The fact that in a relatively short time, Tesla designed and Mass produced its own batteries indicate that this issue is being taken seriously on a level most can’t appreciate. Ask yourself these questions before being hypercritical…… can I bring anything to the table that solves the dilemma I am irritated by? Does it maximize other parameters as well as it solves for one ?
Still not following on acceleration being pointless and dumb part but agree on the bragging. I can't speak for what psychiatrists would suggest tho. The emotions are about how negative you are towards going fast in a truck, to each his own. Your are obviously not a raptor or lightening fan either.
So if someone doesn’t buy the CB they don’t care about their driving experience? ? Humor me for a second. Just because you’ve been using crack for years and can tolerate a lot more, doesn’t mean those who haven’t won’t enjoy their smaller rock lol. Everything is relative. Some people actually can and do enjoy the driving experience without needing to go .6 seconds faster. I love driving my M3 and MY neither of which are performance models. For those that can tell the difference, I’m glad there’s the CB option but it doesn’t mean the rest of us are missing out on something. Again, it’s all relative.
That’s a good point. I know a few guys with the raptor r and TRX and they think they are the fastest vehicles on the planet ? it will at least get them thinking twice about going in about how fast their trucks are. Nothing wrong with a AWD but the cyber beast puts them in their place. My buddy has a Rivian and every time I see him he says faster than the cyber truck. He’s not a racer at all but he found that little joke hilarious until I sent him the race between them ? he has not said a thing about it being faster since then ?
