Smoked Tesla S - care of Mach-E

[EELinneman]

I want to preface this by saying I know that I shouldn't do this. And, usually, my wife is good at moderating any aggressive behavior behind the wheel, but today...today, she was an active participant.

Where we live here in Colorado there is one main road in and out of the neighborhood. There is an equestrian center just down the street from our house and the riders often have to cross the road to ride in the open space area. So, a number of years ago a light was installed. When a rider wants to cross, they push the button and we get red light for both directions to safely allow them to cross. This light is about 200 yards from another feeder road to the expensive neighborhood. So, for that short period, plus about 100 feet we have two lanes until it turns into one. It's common courtesy to line up behind each other at the light since the merge is so short.

So, this morning we get caught behind the light and about 5 or so cars line up when a tool in a dark blue Model S pulls up ahead of everybody next to me angling to cut me off. My wife just looks over and says "I don't think so". He got the jump on me and was pedal to the metal. It took me only about 20 feet to smoke his pathetic ass and get ahead of him. You take this road about a mile until it comes to a T where you take a left to get out of the neighborhood and to C-470. Mr. Tool again thinks he has the onions to pass me and cut me off on the right to get on the freeway. Smoked for the second time and this time I can see his wife/girlfriend laughing her ass off in the passenger seat. He stayed far behind on the CSP-frequented freeway sulking like the tool he is.

All of this was in Whisper mode with snow tires.

My perspective on doing this sort of thing is it depends. I live in a hilly area, and all the roads are one lane in each direction. When approaching from town in any direction, two lane roads turn into one lane roads.

There are places where people can jump in front of each other in a similar way. My perspective is, if someone wants to drive faster than traffic is moving, better to jump ahead of them rather than get stuck behind slow moving traffic.

On the flip side, it always drives me up a wall if I am driving at say a 7, someone will take it to a 9 just to pass me, and then drop down to a 5 as soon as they get in front of me for the whole multi-mile trip on the single lane road into the hills.

16 year old?

hmm…I’ve never tried Whisper mode, maybe I’m missing something! Lol. I think I want those snow tires too…
Forgot to add, I often find it hard to imagine a car being faster than my mme. How fast does one have to go to lift off the ground, cuz that what it feels like. A few times it has felt like faster than 3.5. Helluva fast car.
good for you!

No, I turn 60 in September. Though I would love to have my knees from when I was 16. Oh, the other guy - 30's from what I can guess.

Good kill. Unfortunately it’s definitely one of the older/slower models.

They don’t make a “slow one” anymore.

Base model comes with 670 hp and 100 KWh battery now. 0-60 in 3.1.

Derek, feel free to mark me as ignore. If you hover over my name in any of the posts, you will have an option to ignore. This way, nothing I say or do will trigger you.
