Comments on: Curtain Quickly Closing on the Elio https://www.robohara.com/?p=10535 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Tue, 01 Aug 2017 15:27:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: RobOHara https://www.robohara.com/?p=10535#comment-8986 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 15:27:04 +0000 http://www.robohara.com/?p=10535#comment-8986 I think the Tesla Model 3 is a step in the right direction, but the base price of $35k is misleading — to get any of the self-driving features plus the longer distance battery, the total is closer to $55k-$60k. And while I realize they’re not in the same class, you can buy a 3 year old Corvette Stingray for $40k-ish (nowhere near the mileage, but still tempting if you’re going to drop that kind of money on a new car).

There’s something just inherently appealing to me about a car that I can throw a bag of clothes in, top off the eight-gallon tank, and drive ~650 miles in. It has all the American spirit of a cross-country motorcycle run in a quirky, space-age, three-wheeled car.

It’s a shame that literally tens of thousands of people have signed up to say “the day this rolls off the line, I am prepared to buy it” and they still can’t get their act together. A real shame.

Ah well, back to my Twitter campaign to get Elon Musk to let me test drive a Tesla Model 3 (for several years), or to send me to Mars, whichever comes first.
