Call me juvenile, but I do enjoy putting some of the local smug Tesla drivers in their place with a well-timed drag race onto the freeway. It happened again today. Two lanes, and I am prepped to get on a long freeway onramp. Tesla Model S pulls up next to me at the light. Driver says to me: "that's a Fisker??? It doesn't look like one...", to which I reply: "you won't see any others like this, it's called a Fisker Latigo - an older model". Light goes green, and as all Tesla drivers do, he steps on it hard. OK, I'm game, so I step on it and in a flurry of noise, I blow by him before we are halfway up the ramp - and at the top of the onramp I'm a couple car lengths ahead at 90 mph. It only took about 7 seconds, but I'm pretty sure that guy is still wondering what he saw (hint: a 650HP V-10 burning gas faster than Elon musk burns through R&D budgets!).
Yes, he would've beaten my Karma. But for today, the Fisker Latigo reigns supreme!
And don't get me wrong, I like the Model S. Its a few of the owners I find unpalatable.
