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.
