Default Floridian gets spanked by folks with normal brains.

Imagine being so infatuated with an overpriced pos whose only redeeming quality is fast quarter mile times, and posting incessantly about how superior it is anything else....on Corvette forums. To think, a guy who posts on corvette forums is so entrenched in his beliefs that the ONLY thing that matters to corvette afficionados is quarter mile times of a pos electric vehicle.

p.s. less costly motorcycle spanks plaid.

Same thing on the Honda Ridgeline forum, a couple of moderators are die-hard Musk/Tesla fans and their blatant promotion of EVs is nauseating.

That got to be a LONG RANGE. Plaids don't run 10's unless the guy is in SPORT and not PLAID mode. Slowest I have seen a Plaid run was 9.40's
If it is a PLAID, he must have been in SPORT mode. No way that you run 10's in a Plaid. Zero chance.

That bike cleaned his clock right out of the hole and all the way down.

When I was a kid and could only afford junkers, I did have 2 or 3 four-door sedans. But they were "old man" cars and me and my buddies avoided owning them if at all possible. Two-door hardtops or verts were the cars to have.

The Plaid is about as ugly and boring-looking a car as you can get. Although it would be a great getaway car for robbing banks -- aside from its speed -- it is so drab and ho-hum looking that eye witnesses would never be able to identify it against every other family sedan out there.

I wonder how it would do in a cross-country race like in "Cannonball Run"? Well you'd have plenty of LONG breaks and plenty of time to eat, shit, and play with boobs -- that's for sure.

The Tesla Plaid would lose to my stock, non-upgraded 57 year-old Pontiac GTO in a Cannonball run. My cruise speed is 90 mph at 3,000 rpm, my mpg is over 20, and my range is 400 miles per tank. Time to refill and be back in action? 5 minutes. Also, my GTO has no carbon footprint, and cost 90 times less money than the Plaid while appreciating 30 to 40 times in value during my ownership.

If ANYONE believes Teslas don't have a 'carbon footprint' - they are idiots and kidding themselves into oblivion.

Ahh...virtue signaling at its best.
