Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

It’s not like you purchased one, I don’t think you need to feel guilty for taking for it for a spin.
My brother in law took me for a spin in his AWD top spec Nissan Ariya. It has a listed 0-60 time of 5 seconds in that configuration. My base model F-150 gets up to 60 in a little over 6 seconds, and his Ariya definitely tested the seat bolstering when he floored it around a slight bend.
The model Y does 3.5. That’s like super car specs of yesteryear. For reference, a 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 lists at 3.5. The venerable Ferrari F-50 of 1997 lists at 3.5. A 2005 Ford GT lists 3.5.
So yeah, pretty nuts, and significantly faster acceleration than most people experience in their lifetime. I’ve been looking for a cheap, athletic car for weekend thrills and occasional track days, and 5 seconds is right around the spec I’m looking for, maybe a used Cayman S, plenty of speed to make me feel like I’m breaking the law without being too tail happy. 3.5 is probably a tad more juice than anyone should play with unseasoned.
