I find it funny that conservation of the environment is not seen as a Conservative value.

We saw two of these scooting around Monaco back when they came out.

My lasting is that they sounded like a 70s milk float hehe

Worse still I'm pretty sure someone (or two) have converted vx220s for circa £20k so the Tesla is way ott price wise

Because the only reason anyone ever thinks or has an opinion about him is because of politics else he would be irrelevant.

As an observer who couldn’t care less it is quite comical.

It could also be down to him being an utter knob.

If it was 15k, it would be 3x too expensive. This is for people that like to fantasize licking Musks cinnamon ring.
Hate it. And him smile
May I ask why you hate him?
One of the reason could be that he’s a far right conspiracy theorist who, through misinformation, has managed to get a fascist with a criminal conviction into the White House?
Far right you say, hmmm, Kier Starmer hasn't been in power for 5 minutes and theres a petition calling for another general election with 2 million votes yet Boris Johnson & co were parting, sniffing coke in parliment and having affairs during covid and there was zero public outcry? Suella Braverman all but told Tommy Robinson & co to attack the police in the summer too.

Elon Musk might be right wing but if you dislike him, you have give the same energy to 99% of the media outlets dominating social media today and not single him out.

Ah yes the heave slow Elise that no one bought.

These were utter garbage when they where released.

That's a hilarious valuation. I guess there is a lot of fools in the world.

I would guess it is slower around a track than the Elise, but I don’t think any Elise had faster accelaration than this. Its 0-60 time is still redpectable even today, 16 years later.

This or a Ferrari 488.

Not a difficult choice is it?

Best looking Tesla ever made, produced crap looking cars since, 150k just because it’s rare , no thanks, it’s stupid money for a car of this type to sit in a collection.

I spotted one in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago. I’d never seen one before. It was the most interesting part of the boat trip! hehe

I kinda agree but I coveted a 458 and the Ferrari maintenance costs are very substantial almost eye watering. Additionally once at a certain age then image of Ferrari ownership is not a good look.

I own an Elise, I love these for being ground breaking at the time. It was easy to mock at the time, but look where Tesla are now?

Given the rate that the Chinese are producing improved EV's in high volumes to designs that customer actually want I can't help thinking that Tesla is a hopelessly overvalued vehicle manufacturer and for various reasons its bubble might burst.

That observation has been made once or twice before...
