And what’s funny is a budget model 3 you order online totally smokes the Porsche. It’s really just trying to sell a badge not a product.

With all respect, 0-60 times is not the only reason why you buy a Porsche. A Toyota Corolla probably ticks more boxes for the average person than any Porsche if cars are not your thing.

Typical American thinking. Your model 3 can't handle a corner. The reason car enthusiasts like Porsches is that they handle particularly well.

  But that's not his point. He's right about the badge.

    Nope, he’s not. Or at least not entirely. Even their models that share platforms with “lesser” brands in the corporate stable go through a lot to differentiate them. But if you don’t care about cars or enjoy driving, then all of it is a moot point and probably meaningless to you, and you might as well enjoy a Toyota Camry and call it a day.

…on the straight away of lap one. The top trim model 3 performance best time around the green hell is like 9 minutes. There are factory Porsches that will do it in under 7. This is a very ironic comment to have made in a thread about how cheap things aren’t as good as they seem once you look a bit deeper.

This is, and I cannot overstate this, one of the most ridiculous, tech bro statements I've read on here in a while.

Nothing gives me more joy than watching car geeks furiously posting when they see things like this. Thank you, I had a long day at work. Daily reminder that your "super cars" are worthless. Merging onto the highway is far more important than "winning in the corners".

  Depends on where you drive, dude. I spend more time on mountain roads than highways. And, also, if you like driving, and sometimes drive for fun, curves are way more fun than freeways. None of this has anything to do with supercars, either. My boring mom-car has more than enough power to merge safely. It's (surprisingly, to most people) faster (acceleration and top-speed) and (impressively - ICE tech advanced so much) more fuel-efficient than my almost thirty year old Miata. But, obviously, I enjoy the latter 1000x more than the former. I guess this makes me a car geek. <shrug> That's fine. I do enjoy driving my super-basic, entry-level sportscar. I have less than zero interest in supercars.
