The ES, crown sedan, and I think an audi is doing the same high floor design. Its great for in/egress but its not easy on eyes for me. Being a volvo, though great place ergonomically like the rest of the lineup
I've learned that when it comes to an Uber, I want the most beat up, high mileage 3/Y that's out there. These guys have serious time behind the wheel and know how 1 pedal drive works. I got in a new car smell fresh Model Y in Vegas and FML that was horrible in traffic

LOL, you mean because the driver made it "jerky" by driving it like a traditional car and quickly pulling their foot all the way off the gas a bunch? When I was teaching my in-laws how to drive it I felt like I was teaching someone how to drive stick..! I never get car sick but I wasn't feeling so hot!
Yup, no nuance to the accelerator at all. And with the traffic pulling into & out of the various hotels it was horrible. I'm also not one to get car sick, but I certainly didn't leave the ride feeling better than I got in

My family complains about driving with me in my Plaid because apparently I can be a jerky driver. Obviously I don’t see it being the driver but I don’t think I drive like that. Sometimes yes to pass someone or accelerate from a stop (not full throttle).

. The Model 3 has a much smoother throttle response, I have to floor it to scare my passengers

yeah my gf didn’t like the lc500 acceleration nor the noise. 
and as most of us here know i’ve been ripped for, i wasn’t into the sound either.
and she doesn’t like it when i scoot with my ev’s either and i can understand why. the Y i have is slightly slower than the lc500 and the ioniq 5 is about as fast but with no lag at all it feels faster. so i’m good mostly just cruising when were out together, and even these days mostly when i’m by myself too. i do tend to dust anything from a traffic light though. i can’t help it.

Tesla agrees to pay $250 million to settle a shareholders lawsuit. Oh wait that was Rivian so you've never heard about it

Didn't dig into the details but high probability this lawsuit is frivolous.
