Enjoy. That’s the way test drives should be.

I guess then I need to start spamming you with more pics of my Model Y🤣🤣🤣

Lmao please don't, they are already so popular here in South Florida. I think I hate it because I see it as a lifted model 3. I have the same hate for the coupe SUVs from Mercedes and BMW.

There's a reason why it's so popular, and it's not the Model Y's looks

Yeah, it offers a lot to a lot of people, which is probably why it sells so well. One thing I will say about Tesla designs is that they make the vehicle somehow look smaller than it actually is. Stand beside a Y or sit in it and it feels much bigger than the vehicle you see in pics or even on the road from a distance. Same for the S. The S is a big car. It's actually longer and wider than my LS430. Doesn't look like it on the road. Same goes for the X.

The Model S looks incredibly wide on the road from the rear, its probably one of the widest looking sedans I can think of. Length I agree it doesn't look as long as the LS430, but it definitely looks wider. Its almost exactly the same length as your LS, its 197.4 the Model S is 197.7

TSLA down around 8% yesterday and down another 1.5% pre-market. I assume Amirza bought stock on Wednesday..! Just poking fun of course!

That's an awful lot of car for ~$5k more than a top trim Corolla. The days of the economical EV commuter that isn't a crapbucket Leaf are definitely near, if not quite upon us.
