> I can't figure out why I'd buy an exotic car But the Tesla Plaid ain't pretending to go after exotic supercars. It's pretending to be a luxury car. A Porsche Panamera however starts at $97 K and you already get a very nice one for the $135 K the Plaid costs. And it's actually a luxury car: it's in another league of quietness (wind noise dominates on the highway and the Panamera is simply much better sound insulated), audio (try a Burmester + double-glazzed windows in a Panamera: it's 1000 Watts and 18 speakers of bliss), way more luxurious, way more comfortable, handles better, gives a much better feedback through the steering wheel, has higher quality material all over the interior, etc. That's my issue with the Model S: it's a very expensive car and you've got not just a bit but way more luxurious cars in that price range. Now there's the issue of TCO, image (some don't want to be seen in a Porsche but have no issue driving a $135 K Plaid for example), gasoline vs EV, etc. All I'm saying is $135 K ain't cheap and for that amount you have actual luxury cars that do drive superbly available. > I'll never go back I'll never go back either ; )
