And Tesla still hasn't figured out how to run an assembly line, but boy Musk sure can dance and sing. Over valued and once the real manufacturers get cranked up Tesla's valuation will drop into the toilet.

You're making the same mistake the domestics did with the imports in the 80's. We all know how that ended up.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Chrysler sold more in Q4 2020 than Tesla sold all of 2020, yawn.

And Chrysler is going to donkey stomp them in every aspect - 1/4 mile, tech, engineering - they are the dark horse with better EVERYTHING

That doesn't mean that the people here who love cars that have an internal combustion engine are ever going to be.
Electric vehicles just change where the pollution comes from, it puts it on the coal fired power plants rather than directly on the car. It's the big green lie.
EV's won't be a good viable replacement for anyone who doesn't live in a warm climate city where they do minimal driving.
EV's are useless in a cold climate, the range is cut drastically and who wants a car that decides when you can or can't have a heater in winter.

There are a ton here in New Jersey, I see as many of them per day as any other car We have the infrastructure for it regarding charging stations and everything is relatively close for driving, that's why they work well here.
Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

The pollution starts with the lithium mining process in areas that pollute and victimize workers like no greenie will acknowledge. Then from there the factories that make the battery are allowed to spew pollution into the planet. Then the car is sold in the states and will be plugged into some coal or other fossil fuel electrical grid. People should buy an electric car because they want an electric car. NOT BECAUSE IT IS GREEN. Big joke that people feel their helping the environment by buying an EV.
Keep old mopars alive.

since 2014 , elect generated from coal is down almost 50pct going into 2020, and will be over 50pct this year- where do u get your numbers from?????
Enjoy your golf cart. Quiet and fast is boring to me.
100%. When I was a kid, the sound of a fast car was the main thing that attracted me to them. It's still my favorite thing about them today. Take that away and it's ruined. Doesn't matter how fast it is.
Couldn't agree more! Was at our local cruise in Weds night having a cold one watching/listening to all the big cammed iron rumbling in and out, still puts a big grin on my face! Thought to myself....man it's going to suck when car shows are all electric......boring as hell!!

Here in the Missouri most of the electric power-plants are coal fired with one nuclear and some other sources depending in where you live.

Ohh absolutely. The pollution for the so called green vehicles starts with the lithium mining and all through the process of manufacturing the electric vehicle. They also forget that the car is a massive polluter when the batteries have to be disposed of.

No Sir, it does not.
I don't get it? The buick might run 13.99999 and the z06 might run 11's. This guy removed the seats and it ran a 9.08 (they run 9.20's bone stock at 150+MPH)

Yeah that is kind of crazy. With a little more work that guy is going to be in the 8's.
I work with a guy who has a 9 second B body Mopar. He probably has $100K invested in the car and trailer. It has good parts and professionally built and it runs mid to low 9's as a door slammer. Cool car and he loves it but it is kind of freaky that some soccer mom in a Tesla could pull into the lane next to him and put him on the trailer. Just getting into the race car is a chore since you have to pull off the wheel and strap into the harness and wear a fire jacket and helmet and have some help cinching the belts and closing the swing out bar. And then he sits there and sweats in the lane waiting to move forward. But soccer mom in the next lane could be sitting there with the AC blowing.

And then she would be told that she can't run because she's dripping condensation water from the A/C on to the track. You're not allowed to run the A/C in the staging lanes or on the actual strip because it drips water onto the track.
EVERY track I know of has that as a rule.

You're on a Mopar Forum pimping how great you think a Tesla is and most people don't care.
You shouldn't be shocked or surprised. Many here don't want anything of the newer Chrysler products either.
There's faster stuff than a Tesla out there but most people here aren't going to want it either.

Lol someone that doesn't care sure is spending a lot of time in this thread! Triggered much?? No I am not a Tesla fan or an EV fan I just know whats coming and if it has 4 wheels I'll look into it. Now dont go revving your viper at said soccer mom
