Maybe the title should be changed to something about Porsche fans and hurt feelings?

What a cute dick swinging contest.
Had to leave the Tesla forums a bit. Nothing more nauseating than a bunch of mid 30 to 40 yr old silicon-valleymen circle jerking over ring times. Reminds of the GTR days. I’m a bit more trusting of Porsche, but I’d really love to see the Taycan and P100D go at it by an independent reviewer. Would make for a great shitfling fest with either result. |

FWIW - I've got a reservation spot for the Taycan. And I've been looking at a CPO Tesla S.
I can appreciate the tech in either cars. I watch a "neighbor" with his P80D around town, the dude treats EVERY stop light like his personal drag strip. It's kind of pathetic to watch because he's maybe 55-ish and has had to nail the brake to keep from hitting cars changing lanes or merging. Porsche made a smart move with making the Taycan a higher price point than the Tesla S. Once a Tesla S owner hits the 4 year mark, what are they going to buy next? Porsche Taycan is my wager. |

One wonder how many laps did it get to do before breaking down.

There are reports that said Elon Musk may have cheated. And given the fact he had repeatedly giving false information in the past with regard to Tesla financial well being, I am not surprised.

We all know for a fact that when the Mode S P100+ (Plaid) does come out, there is no way in hell it will comes standard with a scrapped interior, incredibly low suspension, and a huge rear diffuser (from the latest photos). When elon tweeted, we all thought he would be testing a current spec P100D, which would have been fair play, but now, he's dragged this pissing rate out of proportion with all of these almost "JDM/Ricer-like" modifications. All we wanted to see was a fair (and stock) take on the Nürburgring. |

I could see that when it goes into production that it won't be anywhere near what it is now. I'm going to guess it'll have the extra motor and perhaps the wheel arches (allowing wider tyres) as well as a 120kwh or so battery.
So it'll be partially going into production, but it won't be the same spec as the car they are throwing around the ring.

I wonder which SCCA Class Tesla is trying to enter their latest modified car into? https://www.autoblog.com/2019/10/16/...#slide-2177436

It seems to be a pattern with Elon Musk. The guy would say anything or do anything to get attention. It was cute for awhile at the beginning it's getting a bit tiresome and down right laughable now.
