    Who’s of hands, who was surprised by this?

    Edit: what the fuck did autocorrect mangle to come up with “who’s of hands?”

    What I don’t get about Tesla is: when will they ever update their existing vehicles, like every other car company does? The Model S has been around for over ten years. Aren’t they planning an S2? Or this all the RnD they have?

        I had to check Wikipedia to be sure. OK, the S got updated motors or restyled taillights, but they’re all externally indistinguishable for the non Tesla nerd. Look at how the Corvette and Mustang changed over the years, or the F-Series trucks. They went with the zeitgeist, and the S is still visually stuck in 2012.

            Fave lift, new wheels, different lights front and heck. Front spoiler, side profile, larger back wing, different mirrors, windshield angle is flatter, heck has a very different form.

            And that’s just what I took from a quick look at this grainy picture.

      You mean like VW and the Golf 2? Just because it’s the same name, doesn’t mean it’s the same car.

      He probably literally can’t, since it’s basically just a big RC car on an extremely tightly controlled loop.
