The Plaid is impressive. Hands down acceleration wise there are few cars that can beat it from a dig, granted your opponent is willing to wait the, what is it 10 minutes to enter Plaid mode.You forgot to add EV has the potential to be a lot faster. Look at the Plaid and Nevera. If they were slower I would agree. But we are all interested in fast cars. The optics of a loud muscle car getting gapped by an EV like the Plaid even with passengers in it is not good.
Performance is the reason I am impressed with EV. The Plaid is a huge leap in performance for production vehicles. Check out the interior. There are no knobs. You control the direction of air via a touch screen and it is super cool. Tesla is thinking outside the box. The big three are much less innovative at the moment.
This is one of the reasons Musk is now again the richest (publicized) in the world.
