In the EU in the 90-ties you just walked into any parking lot and tried VW-Golfs until the key fitted.. ..they only had 5 different models...

I always hear how lightning quick Teslas are but I have never once seen anybody drive theirs aggressively. They're always going down the road like old Buicks. If you've got it, flaunt it!
