Tesla’s Cyberquad is sold out and already trading over sticker on eBay

December 4, 2021

This is one of the most omnipresent, slightly annoying, slightly interesting trends of the 2020s and 2010s: somebody somehow manages to buy something at retail price and then they list it for sale in the pre-owned market five seconds later to make money.

July 7, 2021

In factual terms, the Tesla Model S P100D is one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. In Ludicrous+ mode (yes, that’s the actual name), it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and that’s Bugatti Veyron SS territory. I know, I know what people say. Porsche people are making it very clear these days that … More With hindsight, the Tesla Model S is still the best EV in the world

‘’Dai gas, fammi sentire’’ – ‘’Non posso’’ – ‘’Dai’’ insiste ‘’Voglio sentire il rombo!’’ – ‘’Non posso, non c’è rombo. E’ elettrica’’ . Mi trovavo intorno a Piccadilly Circus compresso all’interno dell’abitacolo un po’ angusto di un’auto che nessuno conosceva e avevo altre priorità. Tipo non schiantarmi. Tipo attraversare il traffico londinese indenne, riportando l’auto … More Reviewed: Model X 100D (IT)
