Wow, who would've thought a Tesla owner would jump into a hellcat. They're literally opposites of each other LOL! Congrats by the way, love chargers. Looks very evil in that black color.

Wifey is planning on getting a Tesla actually. We need to have a healthy balance of gas guzzler and fuel saver in this household.

Thanks! I definitely love the way it looks. I’m addicted to that supercharger whine too.

I think you’ll enjoy the Tesla. Do a thorough inspection upon pick up. If it’s not up to your standards don’t hesitate to turn it down and get another one ordered. Then immediately go for full paint protection if it’s within your budget.

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 have never set out to buy a black car. I have three of them right now. Plus a white and a silver. White and silver so much easier to maintain. But black can look GOOD when it's clean.

If your addicted to the supercharger whine.. wait til you can actually hear it with an after market CAI. I would recommend either BWoody or LMI. I have Bwoody on my Charger with a heat shield.. on the challenger I went LMI with no shield since cold air comes in the one hood scoop.

Black is only clean for about 5 minutes after you clean it hah. Such a pain. But it is worth it

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’m glad it didn’t.. us 19’ charger owners get a one off.

You need to enter that Charger in the Hellcat of the Month contest. Sorry the environmentalists are after you now!

Just went from environmentalists loving you to hating you. Oh and Greta too. lol.

Congrats on the new vehicle and welcome! PS, Chargers rule!

Not going to lie, I have thought about getting a Tesla eventually but won't be at the cost of giving up any of my gas hungry vehicles.

Mr 1320,
You are going to blow the neighborhood up. Just find a guy down south of the tracks named Hound Dog. Drop him a note of what you are looking fer. Give him a $10 and say I will be back tomorrow fer a taste tester. Keep your Glock handy. You will find the right person. Or go to Total Wine and findwhat you want then make it into what you want. Straight stuff, take 1/2 out in a jar and add what ever is going on at the time, fruit wise. Add your fruit and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Never ever freeze. Add that to your strawberry shake and a straw and no one knows. Add a couple of cubes and maybe a spoon or 2 of strawberry ice cream. Man you got ya'll self a fine time.

What happens when you purchase your car from the insurance company. Kinda pulls to the left unless you are in reverse.

I actually have a JLT intake waiting to be installed. I’m looking forward to a little more whine.

Haha, they definitely don’t seem to be too thrilled with my decision.

The Tesla would be a great companion to the Hellcat, but I can confirm it’s absolutely not a replacement.

You need to tell the Musk Man club they have shorted the Motor Fuel taxes in this country a Billion plus dollars and growing every year. Gee thanks what a deal to this country you own a electric vehicle and no contributions to state and fed road taxes. But yet they get to drive around and use all the roads and bridges at no charge to them. And oh by the way the carbon foot print o make all these roads is pretty big as well. And until they drive their Musk Man car X Amount of miles they have not accomplished anything over a ICE age car.

Mr 30 hea,
Hickster after 9 pm so the critters know I can have my fun but tonight all good talk. Is there?? Yea and let Ms Nancy know not to forget what she has placed into ,, or taken out of eveyones pockets. Any way, I do own about 10 H/C tee shirts, 4 H/C masks, under garmentes want speak of, due I own a H/C not sure. I think the bank does, but it is a fine auto to drive. Been a vette man since 1973. Didn't even have a license before I built my 1st vette. 1964 worth a fortune about now, but the tesla was interesting to to listen to your opinions. Good points and you have children and still have that whine and power behind ya. Good choice and good selection. These dudes I am not so sure about.
Sissys,,,, they don't own hand guns and or wy fules, can't drink shine, can't build an engine. Boy,,, stepping on my dickster but can't win the package every day. Welcome. And a new push rod up every ones colon.
