StevoD Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 so a tesla cant handle about 7 minutes of hard driving without shitting itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Not only that, I've come to a conclusion. This was spurred on by series 2 of the Grand Tour. The tunnels, which pin pointed the absolute reason why electric is dull no matter how hard it pulls. Its like watching a porno with the sound off. There is no drama, sound of silence and zero theatre and really no excitement what so ever. Oh and it only lasts 7 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which actually only has about half the performance of the up and coming roadster. Maybe those three better keep away from EVs as clearly they haven't got the driving skills needed to keep one on the road :).

Ekona Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Is thraping an EV round a track not like watching your favourite film with the sound on mute? Sure, you still get the core event, but you remove something very visceral from the entire experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot like having a w*ank over sex, you still get to where you need to be, but you missed out on the best bit in the middle (debatable for some i a sure) 5 hours ago, gangzoom said: Is that the episode where Hammonds crashes the Rimac?

You are really embarrassing yourself now with such ridiculous comments, maybe he just got overwhelmed by the gargantuan 2 ton weight in a "sportscar", quite the contradiction really! However, as you have said yourself, you are just posting inflammatory and trolling responses to enjoy some "banter", you are very luck GZ that this forum is moderated in such a relaxed and friendly fashion, i think just about every other forum i have been on and am still on would have banned you a long time ago for the consist trolling posts (admitted by you) and the fact you offer no other contribution to, again, a 350z OWNERS forum and before you get all animated, my current vehicle still has a vq engine and made by Nissan so close enough in my opinion. I appreciate there are many ex owners still active, even mods posting in this very thread, however, they interact on a daily basis on a wide range of topics offering help wherever required, nothing gets on my t*ts more than Ekona banging on about his Porsche fanboi ism, but i perhaps dont think there is a topic subject requiring help or advise where he doesnt engage so he has ever right! So, openly and in the view of all, please can the mods view these persistent trolling posts as beyond the remit of where you want this forum to be (and breaking the posting guidelines) and take action as i am sick to death of GZ and his EV crusade on a ICE, 350Z forum OR as Ekona suggested some time ago, have a single electric car thread as its always the same discussion and same debate, nothing new and nothing changes. I appreciate i dont have to read the topic but i am genuinely interested in what us dinosaurs think about a production vehicle pulling what is very impressive 0-"x" times, however it would be good to have some conjecture and not blinkered or rose coloured views and utterly ridiculous posts about "driving ability" as an example! Lastly to you GZ, you are a complete and utter (sorry just entered silent battery mode and maybe for the best) Edited December 13, 2017 by Jetpilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Did I ever mention that I quite like Porsches? FWIW before this gets locked, whilst I do still think that one single EV thread would work best right now (at least until we have many more options available to discuss) and can see where JP is coming from, I'm also aware that GZ hasn't been quite as *ahem* 'vocal' on the subject in this thread as we've had in others.
