I posted this on the Tesla forum and wanted to share here as well. I’m sure not too many people are cross shopping the two, but hopefully this will help some future prospective owners. I couldn’t be happier to have the Hellcat. Both great cars, but the driving experience is just so much more fun in the Hellcat. I will say the Tesla is probably the ultimate daily though, provided there’s a Hellcat in your garage for the weekends.


Cross shopping the 2, ummmm NOo_O

Glad I could bring one on board. I know some aren’t a fan of the WB, but that was one of the things that drew me to this car. I love the wide stance.
The WB makes the car look bigger and heavier but don't like the Durango front bumper. The '19 grille was a great change and it should have carried over to the WB

I gave a thumbs up on your video. Also got scolded on my comment, as apparently my ICE engines use of gasoline causes cancer. Silly greenies. Should have mentioned I'm a California resident where everything causes cancer anyway. Anyways, great looking car!
I can only imagine having a conversation like that about gas considering all the "friendly" environment impacts that surround the battery:LOL:

Thanks! Yours looks great too. I told everyone I would never buy another black car, but that all changed when I saw this one with the demonic red interior.
I think I'm done with black after my second;)

Welcome, great story. Lots of us like the Widebody models don’t worry. Many will also like the Charger. Enjoy and we look forward to hearing more about how you like it.

Charger looks great! I would highly advise to put paint protection behind the wheels or you will find a lot of paint nicks after just a few drives like on your Tesla. Those huge tires are not friendly!

I agree Teslas do feel/are quick below 80 mph, but after that you can really dust them.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! You made a great choice. All performance aside, Teslas are just bottom line ugly

I actually like the new grille. I think it looks more aggressive. Of course now I’ll be picturing a Durango when I look at it. Thanks

Fortunately the stock front rock guards are doing a decent job of protecting it so far. I do plan on putting PPF back there though. Those 305’s definitely pick up everything.

Awesome looking!

Slimming comment made me remember something (I thought) was funny...

Wife - "Does this dress make me look fat?"

Me - "No. It's your hips."

The humor seemed to be lost on her.
