Once someone determines a car will become a classic, they go out of their way to maintain it in as good condition as possible. For most, that means making sure they are kept in climate-controlled facilities and started as often as possible. For others that means using a hoist in a bid to keep the car off the ground altogether. That's how this amazing 1970 Dodge Charger R/T spent a good portion of its life.

Tesla owners are very loyal customers who rarely switch to other carmakers. In my experience, people who tried other EVs were disappointed, and some even changed back to a Tesla afterward.
