my friend told me reason he didn't buy Tesla is that no guarantee they will be around in 2-3 years for servicing and warranty stuff.

I help my friend detail cars, we do quite a bit of Teslas. Another guy we know details a ton as well.

They are selling like hot cakes here in the Bay. I see them becoming more of a household name as long as they don't mess up.

My boss has a fully loaded p85 and yeah it goes, it is a fun car to drive, his porsche cayanne turbo S was a blast too, that is my favorite SUV lol.

I am still waiting to see if I can drive the R8....

But Teslas are no joke man they are amazing and just look fantastic inside as well.
