    I tell you- I see a LOT of M3s on the roads around Houston

    I reckon >90% of the EVs are Tesla around here

    changed the oil in the Tundra this weekend.

    as I'm laying under the truck - waiting for complete drain...I look over at the MS.

    it was mocking me.

    I have done ZERO maintenance on it - 8800 miles.

    I'm old enough to remember what happened to the GM bond holders.

    the main reason I could never buy a GM product.

    That Rimac is mind numbing. Blew the doors off the plaid (as it should for the multi-million dollar price tag).

    exactly!

    think of the performance envelope that just got pushed further out.

    The performance envelope is quickly reaching its end.

    While battery and electric motor tech push forward, tire tech is nearing its ceiling. Can’t beat physics!

    Nevertheless, Rimac is certainly pushing the EV industry forward, just like Tesla did 10+ years ago!

    in my next lifetime...I will own a Plaid MX.

    I suspect I'll have the Tundra for quite a while.

    @T-Rex266 - how are you liking your M3P? Give us the initial thoughts and impressions. I'm just about to roll over 12K miles, so I'd like to hear your experience!

    I only have 1,707 miles on it at this very moment. Those 1700 miles are full of smiles. Its great to wake up with essentially a full tank every day for close to nothing in electricity. I have not had any issues with it and am more impressed each time; especially with the OTA updates. I find it comical that an "recall" was put out due to a window not reversing if it senses something in the tracks. This "recall" is now solved with an OTA update. No need to go to a service center and waste your time.
    I love, love the tech and instant torque it produces at my demand.
    The app is the most user friendly, and detailed vehicle app I have ever used. Its great to not have to have some sort of monthly subscription to use this app.

    For stock 20" Ubers, it runs very smooth (to my surprise). I do wish I had more range with my driving style, but that would require more weight. I do not drive it very long distances, although it is extremely capable by having their own network of SC's where others do not have this. Hell, as you know - it will even tell you how long to charge for and you have backups in the event a SC is down or you miss it.

    For anyone that I take out in it is severely blown away and their mind is instantly changed on what Tesla is capable of (many can probably use a neck brace, ha!)

    I agree with everything you said. Torque is crazy! I have had some pretty amazed passengers - even car guy friends. I always tell people to put their head on the head rest hahaha! App runs great (most of the time). The stock 20's get the job done. A little rough on some specific types of road imperfections, but not horrible. I haven't had any tire issues, luckily. I have only supercharged once on a small road trip (Minneapolis to Eau Claire) and it was seamless.

    Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
