Tesla Model S Plaid
. I'm not old - I love driving fast and do so whenever it's safe. 
. And 4 seconds feels plenty fast.agreed, the tq is just something else and that's something everyone can always "enjoy" at any speed

Probably the best review I've seen. He also echoes the spongy brakes. What's surprising is also how subpar the build quality continues to be... come on Tesla, you've been building this vehicle for almost a decade now. However, the interior materials are the best in any Tesla to date.

My plans changed somewhat quickly, I was going to delay my order until March when it said my order would be ready in December. Then I decided I was going to accept delivery in December but thinking it would possibly be or hopefully be delivered in January. Then I get an email that it’s going to be ready in the third week in November so now I’m scrambling to get rid of my M340. Kind of annoyed but can’t really complain that they are exceeding production expectations.

There is a production car faster from a roll than the Plaid. Check it out.

Want to watch a funny video, there is a Carwow video of a NSX, F1 car and a little remote controlled car. The remote controlled car smoked both and ran 8.6 seconds. I had no idea remote controlled cars were that fast and could smoke a Plaid.

stated like someone who lives in california where a million buys you an out house. 
you do know the avg car price is about $40K? People buying $150K cars all have a net worth of at least a million. Granted, a million's not that much any more, and the govt is now eyeing how to grab assets, not just income.
