Speaking strictly about myself, although I don't track, I am somewhat of an enthusiast, and Tesla's meet one hundred percent of my needs....they are powerful and fast when I need it to be, and have dual use as efficient family haulers at the same time.

No one is asking you like or buy a Tesla, just to think about what you are saying when comparing them to a Camry, as I know several BMW owners (3 series, 5 series and X owners) who jumped ship and bought a Model Y or X and never looked back (I'm not saying one is better than the other as I've never owned a bmw)

The Model Y Long Range and P is also pretty fast, today I humble a guy in an M3 riding my bumper. His face turned from irritated that I was driving to slow to "what the hell just happened"

See ya! lol

I find that frequent brake checks helps a lot with tail gaters. lol

Back to Highland it is very likely turn signals will be moved to the steering wheel. No more stalk shifter either. Some images have suggested there is a driver display but that's a guess from blurry images. Come on Tesla get on with it and release this car already.
