I just ordered the Tesla Model YL.

Good on you mate - Im sure you will enjoy it

I booked an uber to the airport a few months back and he arrived in a tesla. I mentioned I've heard about their acceleration and he said do you want me to show you which i replied yeah why not. Well he pulled up to a dead stop and floored it and within a few seconds i had to tell the bloke to stop as it literally made me feel sick in the head. I have had a few bouts vertigo in the past and the pressure was too much.

Been in several modified V8s and owned a few muscle cars over the years and never had an issue but the smooth dead quiet acceleration my head couldn't take it. 

Felt like the take off on the tower of terror ride at a Dreamworld. 
  

I only test drove the base model Y which was quick.

The AWD YL has more power but will have to take it easy driving to Adelaide along the Western hwy for xmas.

Two teens charged over a horror home invasion that saw a Werribee man slashed to the face with a samurai sword while trying to protect his family were both on bail.

And one of the boys, 15, had faced a children’s court just hours before the robbery on Monday, the aftermath of which was caught on camera showing a neighbour with a baseball bat coming to aid of a police officer wrestling an alleged thug.

A children’s court heard the teenager was on three counts of bail, with his defence lawyer saying his “engagement was really positive” until he was arrested over the shocking attack that left victim Gof Sritanaamorn hospitalised.

He refused to come up from the cells to appear in court on Tuesday and was remanded alongside his co-accused, 14.

The younger boy was preparing to go for bail again on Wednesday after spending his first night in custody.

Mr Sritanaamorn was slashed across the face with a samurai sword while trying to protect his wife and young daughter during the terrifying home invasion.

In shocking scenes captured on CCTV, one officer tackled one of the alleged armed robbers as he tried to flee the car, while the neighbour joined in and landed several blows with his baseball bat.

I think we need to move all of our home games to the MCG or all of them to Marvel.

It's not a coincidence Carlton and Essendon have gone to crap since they don't have a home ground.
The MCG was a fortress for us for a little while and Docklands was an achilles heel. It seems thats flipped around. Problem is, finals arent played at Marvel (see Syd and the SCG).

The problem is no home ground advantage.

To finish top 4 you have to win as many games as you can.

We haven't finished the home and away season top 4 since we left Princes Park.
The Bombers barring 2000/2001 when they were already a powerhouse might be the same.
