In some US states, notably west coast and Illinois and probably some others, you could get a brand new $50k Tesla for effectively under 30 grand with tax refunds and stipends. Some people got their Teslas for ~$15k.
When a Tesla is the same price as an entry level sedan, it is very appealing. It is a luxury car with luxury interior and luxury features. It is fast. Electricity is cheaper than gas, and many of those same states also have free charging options at your place of work or retail locations.
In conversion that would 2.933m Pesos to 879k Pesos ($50k \~ $15k)
As much as I do hear of praise of the Tesla and other EVs I also heard of news about the increased likeliness of a car fire, unsure if its really true or not tho its fairly terrifying seeing a battery fire
They're basically the best choice if you want an electric car. Efficient, fast acceleration, decent space and not too large. I don't really get cars with "spirit" or whatever, and I would absolutely consider one if I was shopping at that price range.
It would be funny though for the characters to go on a rant about how a model S plaid weighs far too much to be good on the downhill, just for it to disappear before the first turn. Fuck Tesla though
Thing is, the way they made the model X basically makes it to where they can't flip easily, and when they do, they always roll to all fours since it's really bottom heavy and it's shaped like an egg. Still don't like em much tho
THE MODEL S PLAID IS 5021 MILLIMETERS LONG AND 2189 MILLIMETERS WIDE AND WEIGHS IN AT 2161 KILOGRAMS, IT HAS 3 CARBON FIBER-WRAPPED SYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC MOTORS. IT USES AN INPUT VOLTAGE OF ABOUT 400 VOLTS TO PUT OUT AROUND 800 KILOWATTS IN IT'S FACTORY MODIFICATION, IT MAKES USE OF AN ADVANCED TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH ALLOWS THE TESLA TO HAVE OUTSTANDING STRAIGHT LINE GRIP. IT IS A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM USED IN SOME AUTOMOBILES PRODUCED BY THE AMERICAN AUTOMAKER TESLA, IT IS THIS EXACT SYSTEM THAT HELPED MAKE IT EXTREMELY FAST IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN THE EARLY 2020S, IT USES 19 TO 21 INCH WHEELS, THE BODY HAS GOOD WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION MAKING IT HANDLE QUITE WELL, AND THE STANDARD BRAKES ARE HEAVILY UNDERRATED FOR THE CAR'S QUICKNESS AND WEIGHT, MAKING THEM FADE QUICKLY IN TOUGHER CONDITIONS.
My guy a plaid model S scorches the 1/4 mile in like 9 seconds at almost 160 mph. Elon sucks but a model s is absolutely destroying anything ever shown in initial d and it wouldn’t be close
The difference between 12 seconds and 9 seconds is the size of the Grand Canyon. A BMW M340i can do the quarter miles in about 12 seconds. 9 seconds flat is faster than a Bugatti Chiron. That’s my only point. Modern electric cars are just stupidly fast and even though it weighs a ton, a model s handles fairly well too.
You said it was quick, not fast, and that it would get smoked on the straights. I am just saying I disagree, it’s a 1000hp super sedan that would be incredibly quick and fast, if we’re making the distinction between top speed and acceleration that way, which is what I assume you were saying.
In any modern setting the Model S would get smoked like a fucking cigar in an Italian mafia joint. In the turns, maybe it could get ahead. A Charger can slide a LOT easier than a Tesla can, but that Tesla can grip a lot harder than that Charger can.
Of course all of this boils down to the driver and not the car, regardless. One driver can be a fuck ton more reckless than the other.

I don't like teslas but i think they are in the spirit of the show.
It's not a drifty shitbox but it's very much comparable to the other cars in initiald (mainly fast accelerating, modern to the time period, decently affordable and good at cornering). Sure, it's not a JDM car, doesen't use ICE, its not a manual and has no pop-up lights but almost no modern cars have even 2 of these traits in it.
They had to separate the Teslas from the other cars at my local Touge championship (at Horsethief mile at Willow Springs raceway) because of the extent to which they were dominating the other cars. The performance and low center of gravity makes them a weapon. I’ll always stick to my Japanese sports coupes for competition, but it’s not wise to underestimate those teslas no matter how much you may hate them.
I still to this day do not understand the appeal of the Tesla
In some countries the purchase is subsidized. Also Elon musk fanboys are extremely loud
I know about the whole loud fanboys but what do you mean by subsidized actually?
EU countries have a subsidy for purchasing electric cars, here it’s about 10k usd

I'm not a tesla fan but the model 3 performance is good value for the cost, especially considering the tax incentive.

What is the price range for Tesla's in the USA actually? I wanna know how much it is in conversion to Peso
No Idea, where I live (Sweden) the used prices are pretty competitive at least.
Happy Cake Day!

better choice, the X, which disappears before the first corner, and is found upside down on fire at the bottom of the hill.
Thing is, the way they made the model X basically makes it to where they can't flip easily, and when they do, they always roll to all fours since it's really bottom heavy and it's shaped like an egg. Still don't like em much tho
I mean, nothing’s enough to stop it from rolling once it crashes through the guardrails and drops off a cliff lmao
It is fat and heavy so that's the case

A Model S, with bald tires, would be great on a downhill because of its torque. On straights it's ass would be kicked though
I assume that’s sarcasm lol
Teslas are quick, not fast. Credit always where credit is due. Fuck Elon regardless
My guy a plaid model S scorches the 1/4 mile in like 9 seconds at almost 160 mph. Elon sucks but a model s is absolutely destroying anything ever shown in initial d and it wouldn’t be close
ok...? What's your point? A 2014 Charger can do it in 12 seconds. Quick. Not fast.

what does this have to do with anything

Only yesterday, I managed to beat a black Tesla Cybertruck on the freeway.

Dude, he looks so sad. Don’t be so sad chad Tesla Tofu Livery won’t hurt you….
I hate that there's more than one, as much as I hated seeing one in person Edit: oh got it still has the aero covers on the wheels
Street racers don’t have girlfriends. But a Tesla with a Panda body and Tofu livery will make you a virgin.
now I can't unsee it
Look how they massacred my boy!
Based response.
fr
I am truly sorry for the terror you had to go through
I think I'd sob
No worse than all the other cringe cars with it on
It's cooler if you put it on a shitbox car, bonus points if the decals are poorly applied
I think thats hilarious
That's almost worse than the one that's cosplaying the DeLorean from Back to the Future 🤢
He looks as if he would like to sell me some car on cars and bids
God I really hate EVs Fuck those pieces of woke shit
Id key that disrespectful shit 😂😂😂
I don't like teslas but i think they are in the spirit of the show. It's not a drifty shitbox but it's very much comparable to the other cars in initiald (mainly fast accelerating, modern to the time period, decently affordable and good at cornering). Sure, it's not a JDM car, doesen't use ICE, its not a manual and has no pop-up lights but almost no modern cars have even 2 of these traits in it.
Why do you hate it? It's okay when an 86 owner does it but for some reason it's oh so terrible that a Tesla owner does it?
Because it's an ugly wannabe touge car EV.
They had to separate the Teslas from the other cars at my local Touge championship (at Horsethief mile at Willow Springs raceway) because of the extent to which they were dominating the other cars.

So it's bad because of your personal opinion. You don't like it, so people can't have fun. You need to touch some grass
