This electric stuff is for well to do folks.----I can not imagine people paying for / waiting for a vehicle from a company that has no history and never sold a car yet !!-----Then perhaps see that company disappear from the planet.

well, the problem on a forum like this is to get into further discussion would bring in politics.....I don't want to (well I want to) be the one to start it.

do I have the wrong one?
0-60....4.2 secs.?
They vary quite a bit by year. The 2024 Tesla S Plaid is advertising at 1.99 seconds. Edmonds tested the 2024 base S series at 2.9
estimated extended range 341.....real world never meets that. Don't run the a/c, don't carry anyone else, don't put that car top luggage carrier on, don't go over 55...you might get that 341.
What percentage of car owners drive in excess of 340 miles on a daily basis?

BIL has owned a Model S going on 3 years now. Drives 60+ miles to and from work each day. Makes a 220 mile round trip to a remote office every other day. Plugs in when he gets home. Ready to go the next morning.

The one thing that folks are beginning to think about.-----" where will all the electric power come from ? "----Power / volts / amps / watts are not well understood.

I just said that further discussion would bring in a forbidden topic.
And a further comment of mine, which is a significant component of the whole picture, was edited out. Which is fine with me.
Spend your money as you see fit, don't spend mine.
