Judging by the cars you list gentle likely sums it up, lmao. Use what works for you though as we can simply agree to disagree.

Expert we needed.
Again, garbage.

Yeah the car than ran that time was lowered, with bigger brakes, wider wheels with Cup 2 tires, and the interior was gutted. There have also been cars spotted with non-stock aero, including a massive wing, rear diffusers, and ducting behind the front wheels.
I'd like to see what time an off-the-shelf plaid runs.
So would I. I expect the top speed update will need to come first.
Right now it is limited to a paltry 160, or something like that.
There is a brake update coming as well, I believe.

And it will need huge suspension overhaul.
So basically they released half finished product to jack up stock price.
Or they released "half finished" product because consumer demand was there immediately.
The stock price has been affected more by the ineptitude and irresponsible agenda of the current administration in Washington than by anything Musk has done. And affected in an unnecessary and negative way.
The German cars resale values say they are not very good.

Lol.
This explains a lot why he is able to sell products without brakes and suspension.
Give us Plaid, my neighbor doesn’t know what’s underneath.

Resale value doesn’t have anything to do with that.
My Sienna hold exceptional value. It also costs twice as much to maintain than my BMW which I track.
And of course:
I could actually sell this “windy” vehicle now for some really good money. People would trip over each other. Yet, that doesn’t mean it is actually good car.

Photos could be misleading, but that is seriously, ridiculously small contact surface on Tesla.
Devils advocate, the Demon has regular (albeit big) brakes and has no problem stopping from its 9 second 1/4 mile.
Edit: Fronts on the Demon are 14.2” with 352sq in. swept area, rears are 13.8” with 316sq in. swept area, 4 piston calipers front and rear.
the demon's front brakes are tiny and well known to be garbage.
I thought they were the same…. Hellcats get 15.7” front rotors and 6 piston calipers, rears are the same as the Demon.
