I drive a sports car on public roads. Straight, level, boring public roads with low speed limits. Straight line is basically the only thing that matters 90% of the time. For the other 10% of the time, the difference between a Tesla and the ICE equivalent still doesn't matter or possibly even favors the instant response of the electric drivetrain.
- georgerobinson 8y agoIt sounds like you're just not driving on the right public roads. In the US, to name just a couple, there are: - Hells Canyon, Idaho - Saddle Road, Hawaii - Mulholland Highway, California - Route 9W to Storm King Highway, New York - Route 348, Helen, Georgia - M119, Harbor Springs, Michigan - Highway 1, Big Sur, California In the UK: - Horncastle to Louth - Cat and Fiddle - Evo Triangle - Forres to Alford - Black Mountain Pass - St Ives To St Just
- gibolt 8y agoThose probably are not the 90% case
- georgerobinson 8y agoOf course, but an enthusiast doesn't purchase a sports car for the 90% case, it's purchased for the 10% case - road trips to some of the best driving roads in the world. If you just want a flash car to get to work and back well that's different. And if you just want to go fast between the lights then a Tesla is genuinely the best car for you.
- jsight 8y agoI mean, its not that I disagree with you, but the closest one is almost 300 miles from here. I used to drive some pretty good ones in western NC as well, tbh. There's a reason there are so many Miatas up there. :) But here it is all straight and flat.
- leetcrew 8y agooh man, 9w is beautiful. used to go to school up there.
