v12. V12's are great for power but as for a nice engine note they have nothing on an American built V8 engine

I sure was. Remember when I vanished from LVP back in Nov. 2007? That's why. I posted here a few months later to say goodbye, but I think this is the first time I've posted a picture of the car.
But don't worry...it's all good, and in a couple of months I'll post a picture of the new one I ordered last week. It's a multicoat red Tesla Model S. I can't wait!!!

I remember you vanishing but I didn't post on forums back then...Very lucky
The Tesla Model S looks good at the front but the back is lacking in my opinion but would still be a wicked car to own no doubt

Yes, they are, but they have a lower cost of ownership too since it uses no gas at all. I got the regular "85", not the P85 or the P85+. That saved me around $20K (US). I got the tech package and hardly anything else. No air suspension, no leather, and I got the 19 inch wheels instead of the 21 inch wheels. Still while the P85 will do 0-60mph (0-97 kph) in 4.2 seconds, mine will still do it in 5.4 seconds. It will still go 263 miles (423 km) on a single charge, and if I go to one of Tesla's superchargers, it will give me another 200 miles (320 km) of driving in about 30 or 40 minutes. Those are free, btw. That means that if I drive it 10k miles per year for 10 years, compared to a gas car that gets 30mpg, and if gas costs around $4.00/gal, I'll save $13,333 in fuel costs alone. Even if I "fill up" in my garage at home, which I will every night, 100 miles worth of electricity only costs me about $2 or $3 US, if that much. Also there are no tune ups, no oil changes, no filters, no transmission work needed, and so on. That said, it's going to cost me around $80,000 US (58,000 Euro). after the tax rebates. So yes, they are expensive, Fuse. But they look fantastic, it handles great because all the batteries are below the floor for a low center of gravity, it's dead quiet, and I love the huge touchscreen control panel inside. It's just sooo coool!!
No, this one isn't mine. I'm going to have to wait another 3 months for mine. Augh!!
