Anyone considering the Tesla Roadster? I wired my deposit today. It's refundable so I figured WTH. Would still prefer a convertible so I think the Boxster EV is more likely the winner. There's A LOT of pros and cons for Tesla and Porsche.

Because if Elon Musk I wouldn’t even consider a Tesla. Which is a shame because the Roadster and a Model 3 for my wife would be perfect, but I just can’t do it

Saw the unveiling and not impressed at all. Will cancel my order post haste. I hope the 718 EV is not as portly as it seems it will be!

1700kg for the RWD car; it was confirmed by the Porsche test driver, Röhrl, on the first drive experience.
500-600hp.
So the same weight as a $40k Tesla Model 3 RWD. Disappointing. But hey you can lap the Nurburgring!

You're so right. You know what else weighs the same? The Chevy Bolt. Clearly, the Bolt, Model 3 and Cayman will all offer the exact same driving experience, because vehicle weight is all that matters.... 😔
