So, all the 86 drivers at the pointy end of track days don't know how to drive.

Your skills must be epic.

Nice

I didn't need to buy the car, but once I did, there was a bunch of stuff that I needed to swap out. I would consider this "need" to be an addiction. I don't see how it has anything to do with my driving ability.

See the thing is you just shouldnt care what others think so much. If folks think it's slow so what? All that matters is what you think.

People in general are too concerned with comparing this to that or that dude to this guy. It really doesn't matter at all unless your competing in an event and even then unless your pro it is all in good fun.

You will be far more happy and content in life listening to what you think rather than letting others opinoin impact how you feel.

Personally I love this car and to me it feels fast and fun to drive. May not be the fastest but to me that is apart of what makes it cool. As somone else mentioned that I agree with that this car punches above it's weight which makes it an underdog.

This car to me is like Rocky in the first movie, Apollo is better but Rocky had heart and the will to win. Eye of the tiger, thrill of the fight, risin up to he challenge of our rivals, nana na nana da da nana.

I won't argue it is a similar shape but it is a SUV not a Van. If it had a lower ride height and sliding doors then I might side with you but it dosnt so I side with Tesla marketing and call it a Van, I mean SUV.

I can go for months without seeing another. Then I will see six in a day. Then months again. Then six different ones. I don’t think I have seen the same one twice.

Haha there's literally 5 twins besides mine in the parking lot at work! And I always see at least one more on the way! I like it though, they're one of the best looking cars on the road IMO.
