Had Naxx for about two weeks now =p
Yea, I know - just annoys me being literally 3 miles from the SpaceX launchpad and no Tesla's here - in a county that pushes "future tech" and such constantly even to the points where kids have robotics clubs in school as a thing. (And apparently a scholarship + $20k CASH prize for the top place in the county HS science fair from what I was told)
Cape Canaveral area (thus the SpaceX stuff - Merritt Island specifically, where NASA people that want a short commute live) - hadn't seen the Orlando showroom that would only be like an hour to get to (40-80 min depending where in Orlando). I know Miami/Naples area had one - didn't realize Orlando did, wonder if it's a recent addition, had looked before the move - hadn't looked since, hah. Commented here before I've even looked into anything, just starting to wrap my head around which way I want to go - figured I'd get until 2020 (or close) out of this car when electrics should be very accessible.
Yea, was really hoping this car would survive for the M or whatever the one they're targeting $40k for - I don't care about the performance stuff, just a high quality electric that I'll never have to replace in my lifetime more than likely.
Except when the battery packs die, which they will. And, will cost about as much as an engine in a cheap-o economy car.
And that's why I could only ever see myself leasing an electric. I'd love to see hybrids with flywheels like race cars but that tech probably won't ever hit the road.
Could be, but over all it's a cheaper proposition if you're going to turn over your cars more frequently.
They're starting to go with dual batteries now I thought to reduce the cost of each individual battery so that cost would be spread out - plus battery costs keep deflating quickly in case you've not noticed. (Additionally batteries don't just "die" they just get less and less efficient - unless they're unlike any other rechargable battery - so there's a ton of forewarning)
Not quite. I have a sensible, fuel efficient daily driver that I want to be cheap and economical and I have a fun car with crazy power and crap MPG (achieved 8mpg one day in the canyons) with many more of both kinds going into the future.
The show room is like 3 mins from where I live. It's been here since I got back from overseas in 2013. During normal business hours they have like 3-4 cars out front, and it looks like a few more inside. The place isn't huge, maybe the size of a small McDonald's. Always see a few driving around in the city near the dealership.
