Lol at the Tesla hate. I still don't understand people like that.

Its the same people who hate on GM now since the mullet Camaro is running circle around all the other brands that aren't American.

This was a straight up drag race, just like it's been 6 races ago. Tesla is a great design and real world car but people can't stand it for what reason? It's electric? Come on....I am ready for my self driving, electric car so I can sleep on my commute to and from work!

I noticed the difference in launches too but I think they probably make multiple runs and just compile them all together.

Interesting thread, very cool that so many of the posters have broken down the video. Makes you think, and I'm not a conspiracy theorist type but you have to wonder.

There's so much pressure to move to EV's, here in Canada the pressure is coming from government, and yet EV sales are in the toilet. Strange times.....

Thanks for the link.

I can sort of get my head around EV's, probably will never own one. But for the life of me I can't understand the self driving car/fixation. I like driving, and frankly don't trust the things that much.

I believe EV's are the future... just don't like false advertising!

Cant stand Teslas, my biased theory is they are driven by previous Prius owners who got better jobs

Well when you have to drive 4 hours or 7 hours, one way, a few times out of the year for work by yourself.....it would be nice to have a self driving vehicle to take over while I can relax. Self driving as in what was depicted in I Robot.
