    Interesting take. Thanks.

    Do you think that embarrassment of the purchase, ignorance of what’s good, or status prevent more buyers from talking about that? As a person who enjoys the act of driving (though not the experience of driving in this city), I should see if I can get behind the wheel of one and attempt to be objective.

      I do encourage you to rent one. I like driving, too, and I just didn’t think it was a good experience. But I didn’t really fool around with the programs. It’s interesting at least.

      It’s possible drivers who care have figured it out, but there is at least a very large learning curve.

        I have a 73 Porsche 914, it’s my second. I’ve had two 1970 Monte Carlos. Both vastly different vehicles, but both are extremely visceral cars. You’re extremely connected to the road and the vehicle.

        There seems to be an abstraction layer with Teslas.

        Renting one is a great idea.

          Haha, you are orders of magnitude bigger driving enthusiast than myself! I’d be interested to know what you think of the Tesla.
