I have a high performance vehicle that is extremely fun to drive for 1/4 or LESS the price of buying similar performance in a gas vehicle.
How is that? My cousin has a Tesla Plaid with better performance than his Ferrari, but it cost a lot more. As far as I know, that's the only real high performance electric. I've never seen a gasoline car on a lot that cost four times even the cheaper electrics.
What does an S plaid new cost vs his Ferrari new?
There’s your answer. And the plaid has the fastest 1/4 mile of any production car ever.
I just looked up prices. The cheapest model Ferrari starts at $222,000. The Plaid starts at about $130,000. So the Plaid isn't a whole lot cheaper, certainly not four times cheaper.
A Model 3P will crush a lot of the super cars and some of the hyper cars in acceleration at a fraction of the cost.
My M3P is as fun to drive as my 911, but doing a max start in the M3P costs me 30 cents, in my 911? At least a litre of 95, which is about $2 here in Sweden now.
The Plaid is insane, but you don’t need that power to compete with ICE sport cars, a M3P or a Polestar 2 will do. Hell even the Ioniq 5 or EV6 will trash most ICE competition.
On thread: It’s sad that the $25k myth is still spreading on a forum that claims to be “seeking the truth”. If you’re looking for a pack for your decommissioned Bolt, sure Chevrolet would probably site your insurance company $25k.
To change a battery in a modern EV is as unheard of as changing the engine in a modern car, and about the same price, <$10k as you don’t change the whole pack, you just replace the broken cells.
Um...no. They stopped real high performance cars in the 70s. You just think your car is high performance because you never drove the real thing.! Just curious, did it come with recordings of performance cars?
Lol. Shut up. 100% torque at the press of the pedal is impossible to achieve in any gas engine.
In fact you can look up power curves on every gear for just about every performance car. Best power in 2nd gear is between 4250-4500rpm for example.
There is no power curve on an electric motor. It’s 100% when you want it.
In fact your call back to 60s cars before the epa emission standards makes you look even stupider. Sure muscle cars took a dive in the mid 70s and 80s but if you think an old stingray can hold a candle to modern engineering, you are retarded.
There’s a lot to criticize about electrics. I drive one, I know all there is to be annoyed with. But performance is the stupidest hill to die on because it’s just probably false in every metric.
Bet you can't smoke them tires.
