Cost of all options, wheels, paint, etc is included (apart from Autopilot). Cost is $78k. About same as BMW M3, but 15% quicker & with better handling. Will beat anything in its class on the track.

Someone is building them - pull your head out of the sand.

Number of electric cars continues to grow

Hoid tells us his favoured electric to car can Beat anything on the track!!!



Till the BATTERY DIES IN THE COLD! If LIE-beral sponsored electric toy cars were even half what LIE-berals claim we would see them at race tracks!


SO yeah- Hoid just supplied us with more fresh, ripe, steaming, straight form the back of the Bull, ORGANIC LIE-beral fertilizer!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Give me a statistic on horse drawn vehicles vs automobiles in 1900 and I suspect you would find an almost identical statistic. Just a question though - What do you have against electric cars? Do you own shares shares in an oil company?

^ here is why I have this particular idiot on ignore.

I cut and pasted a tweet from Mr Tesla himself.

I didn't say anything at all. He is the one who claims it will out perform any car in its class and that is open and shut. It will. The Tesla engines are a quantum leap beyond these ridiculous gassers.

So there isn't approximately the same amount of horse and carriages on the road as there are Tesla's?

And more than electric vehicles around the same time

Kinda funny isn't it that electric vehicles were competing with gas and horses then and now

Or a consistent supply of power


Oh my- poor foolish Bar Silly Sister and his pal Hoid are STRUGGLING DESPERATELY to defend their electric Toy vehicle nonsense!



Bar Silly Sister asks if I own share in an oil company or something? HSAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


HEY SILLY SISTER- my objection to electric cars is their HUGE COST, their limited cargo capacity, short range- that gets even worse as air temperature drops to NEAR FREEZING, and the quite awkward and time consuming refueling problem- with LIE-berals willing to spend gobs ouf OUR MONEY on charging stations!



The gasoline automobile industry and support facilities were put in place gas car customers and manufacturers- NO govt money involved!



Electric vehicles are still SO FAR OFF being ready for mass production that even govt gravy cannot grow electric toy vehicle sales to anything significant!


LIE-berals are FORCED TO LIE at every turn about their electric TOYS that are being sponsored simply because LIE-berals expect to SKIM LOTS OF GRAVY OFF THE INDUSTRY- if only they can ram the costly electric toy vehicles down our throats!


And there is the entire public objection to electric TOY vehicles- they are no more useful to us than the mouldy green SCAM that LIE-berals jammed down our throats- the SCAM that has driven Wynne-bag LIE-berals to THIRD PLACE IN ONTARI-OWE ELECTION POLLS!


HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
