First American car

[Tony-K]

I’ve never felt a strong enough urge to spend my own money on an American car before, but my first one, a Tesla Model S Performance is currently on a ship crossing the Atlantic.

Does anyone have any hints or tips to get the best enjoyment from it?

No .... but I do sometimes wonder how well one would do in a demolition derby

Probably pretty well. No fluids, radiators, or other suchlike to go wrong.

It would be the American thing to do.

I know its American, but doesn't really belong in this section does it? Goes against the American stonking great V8 and/or style just a little bit

Then it becomes a proper Yank tank

It's like me bragging about the American spec Ford Fiesta I once owned or the equally mundane Dodge Challenger (1978 Mitsubishi with some badge engineering) I just wouldn't make a thread about them here!

And slow it down?

It seems I’ve wandered into somewhere that doesn’t match the title. V8s aren’t really my think, I prefer 10 or more cylinders in my petrol engines.

I'm pretty sure that it has a button called 'insane' mode which makes it faster than most super cars out there. You should have plenty of fun with it
