Tesla S Plaid Drags - Lucid Sapphire - Rimac Nevera!

[TXSTYLE]

EVs are here to stay... Period. Now that we've gotten that out of the way.

But they also represent the absolute quickest times of any production vehicles in history. Achieving times that are unheard of unless you have several Millions of dollars for one Hypercar or you are towing your own non streetable Muscle Dragster to the strip on a Trailer!

Having personally ridden in and driven both a modified Supercar and a relatives heavily modified 69' Camaro equipped with racing slicks and a wheelie bar in 9ish seconds, I can confirm how mind bending quick these speeds are. In fact, they are dangerously deceptive in terms of the feeling and pressure they place on your senses. The fact that these 3 cars here can literally be purchased straight from the dealer and hit these numbers when pulling right off of the parking lot is pure insanity! And I'm all for it.

I have no interest in any of these 3. Yes they're fast. Whatever. They all look like reject designs from Grand Theft Auto.

I forgot to add, I've sat inside the Lucid and seen several in my area, not necessarily the Sapphire model. It is a very attractive car inside and out. I would gladly own one. The Tesla brand has never appealed to me outside or inside. It's just too generic and boring for me personally.

No interest in these cars at all from me either, but I'll bet that Rimac is fun for 9 seconds or so.

Regardless of all forthcoming valid comments about it being a soulless appliance, the Tesla Model S Plaid is such a performance bargain, and can achieve the same MPG as a Prius, it’s unreal.

After 4 BMW M cars in a row I am enjoying the hell out of my S Plaid.

Now THAT is saying something.

Reminds me of watching an action movie on mute.

And it underlines how much more inexpensive or cost effective any EV can be versus ICE vehicles.

There are still many challenges to be overcome, from infrastructure to range to battery chemistry and QC. But, these are clearly early days. To each his own.

I'll be interested when it's a ICE/HCE hybrid driving the Regen for the EV motors.

Until then, nice 1/4m times. Not interested in batteries.
