Jaguar F-TypeOriginally Posted by Irving
What kind of car is this?
Thanks, I could see the "F-Type" and initially thought it was a Tesla, but I realized that I noticed that I could hear it, and I saw the tail pipes. After looking at the picture I thought I saw the Jaguar symbol, but it's hard to tell and I didn't notice it in person. Pic is zoomed in.

Very nice cars. Got to see one close up a few weeks ago.

Yeah, they're gorgeous!
For the same price (or less, if you want the F-Type R), I'd much rather have a Tesla Model S.

If you want a stick shift, an F-Type is only going to run you ~$65k, less than half a Tesla S.
I'd rather split the difference and get a C63 AMG, myself.

Nonsense. Tesla Model S starts at $68000, and you automatically get a $7500 federal rebate, along with a $5000 Colorado rebate. Add in the delivery and paperwork fees and you're sitting right at $60k. Same 0-60 time (5.5sec), lots of neat tech. Free supercharging, estimated gas savings of more than $1200 per year with my mileage.
Now, comparing a barebones F-Type R at $108k (0-60 in 3.9sec) to a Tesla Model S 100D, at $81k after rebates (0-60 in 4.2) is a little more interesting. F-Type definitely wins in top speed (Gas-burning cars will easily win at this for the foreseeable future), and the sound of a well-tuned exhaust is certainly something that turns me on, but the P100D can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. That sounds painfully awesome. Both cars have lots of things going for them, but the F-Type does look like sex.

Now I'm looking at cars. Damn, cars are pretty neat these days. They are also wicked expensive.

Quick navigation pro-tip. When the nearest cross street to the address you're looking for is 547th and 848th, just expect that your tablet GPS (Google maps) isn't going to work well. When you end up 20 miles North, on the other side a lake, know that is par for the course.
