A realization:
What do we want out of our cars?
Pure dominance.
Unless there is a car which ever get faster than the 1.99 second (0-60 mph) Tesla Model S Plaid, all other cars (including Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti, McLaren, Rolls Royce, etc) are irrelevant.
I like design
I love studying car design. Why?
If you live in the suburbs, or any city … we are surrounded by more cars than human beings.
The more beautiful designed the cars, the better.
Cars are a mostly aspirational lifestyle thing
The irony:
People who want to go hiking and backpacking and all that stuff get off-roading Subaru’s. But … are probably too busy working all the time to go.
When people drive a certain car, it says much about themselves and their lifestyle.
I say–
The best lifestyle to promote is *NOT* owning a car, as it signals that you prefer a more nomadic (travel) lifestyle.
What we desire is dominance?
But the thing:
Just because you own the most dominant car… doesn’t mean *YOU* are the most dominant human being.
Personally speaking, the reason I still don’t want to buy or own a Tesla is–
Everyone has one.
I have this strange thing in which I hate owning anything which others have. I have deep pride in being insanely different— and as superficial as belongings and possessions are, I do not want to possess anything that others possess. Or, I pride myself in *NOT* possessing what others possess. Or pride myself in *NOT DESIRING* what others desire.
All bespoke everything.
Even if I were forced into getting a car, I would probably get a Hyundai Genesis and de-badge it all, and matte black it all. Why? The more obscure the brand and model, the better.
