[QUOTE="ChiSVT, post: 16908554, member: 28706"] I recently rented a Plaid to feel what all the hype was about. It is definitely an INSANE ride, I honestly can’t imagine anything being quicker at a streetlight. BUT, it was a huge pain in the ass car. In Plaid mode it gets terrible range, like literally, 50 miles. On top of that, you can feel it getting significantly slower as the battery discharges. So you really have a small window where the car is at peak performance, then you have to sit around and wait for it to charge. I rented it out in AZ, charging was another frustrating aspect. All of the superchargers were taken, so I had to sit around for 20 minutes for a soot to be open then sit around for another 30 minutes while it charged. Incredible waste of time. Then there’s the car itself, for a $120k+ sedan, it has awful handling and braking, a cheap feeling interior and the navigation is quirky as ****. There’s no android auto or carplay so I was looking at my phone for directions. [emoji88] Everything is controlled by the screen, the car went into standby mode and the ****ing door handles won’t come out. Oh and running the AC drains the charge. The autopilot went full ****ing nazi on me too - it would disable autopilot for the “reminder of the ride” because I removed my hands from the wheel too many times lol. All in all, it was a fun experience, just because, man, when it’s charged…holy shit is it quick. But outside of that, big [emoji107]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
