What I am about to say is a personal opinion so it should not offend anybody's sensibility...and I drive a gas fueled box on wheels (2007 Chevy Equinox)!
That said, I could never understand why 'supposedly' eco-friendly vehicles have to be shaped like turds (I get the aerodynamic shape to save energy, but there's plenty of gas fueled aerodynamic cars that don't look at all like turds). To me, the Teslas do not deviate much from that trend...
They did make them a hatch back which is nice...I would have voted for a wagon personally. But they are pretty meh looking...not bad, not good.
Ya certainly no denying that they are rich people toys...I mean what 130k car isnt...The demon is certainly moreso a rich persons toy then even the tesla....But if I was to travel back in time to the 1970 when my father was racing super stock and showed him a demon...a challenger with a superchaged hemi that could run 9's on slicks...he would no doubt be impressed...although they were doing that already in 1970....If I showed him a totally silent, boring as fuck looking sedan with plain street tires that ran 10.5 @ 125, he would faint. As a rich people toy though? 130k...will own anything at a stop light, will make you look good to your hippie friends so they stop bugging you about the land rover you drive when you need to actually go somewhere.....tax breaks...supposedly the best auto drive and infotainment system...I can certainly see why they are so popular.Paying $85-90 for an everyday, short-trip car makes no sense. Sure, it makes sense if you’re a rich guy, but most rich guys I know who are into cars also have taste, so this car wouldn’t even be a consideration.
