Thats like saying can you drive from Oregon to Europe with a gas powered car? Then declaring a car useless because you can't do it. Makes no sense.
Think what you will of electric cars but they are a ton of fun to drive. |
LOL
How ironic
I use airplane for this too

So all those people going round a track like crazy arent trying to find out who's quickest?
A lot of tech on an m3, or m5 or whatever porsche etc isnt there to make the car accelerate as fast as possible for the 1/4mile, its there to give excellent roadholding/maneuvrebility and stamina. Thats why these cars also get raced. |
Different purpose of the car
Just like people dont take their MB S-class AMG to the track

New P100D has revised pack and cooling
It would be interesting to see how it handles the heat now
I dont track my car personally, so i never had these issues
I'm sure 99%+ cars never see the track

Range
Ease of refueling
Reliability
Cost
Performance besides 0-50
Etc etc etc.

Lets see:
"Range" is about the same as compatible large sedan with V8 (MB S-class,Audi A8, 7-er)
"Ease of refueling" is better for 99% of the time, you fuel at home
"Reliability" (in my example) is a lot better than ICE cars i had, plus no oil changes
"Cost" is about the same as compatible large sedan with V8 (Model S is 60-140K)
"Performance" is about the same or better as compatible large sedan with V8
What else am i missing?
