This one is for the wife tho, and I'm kind of worried she'll either kill herself or destroy the car lol....

My wife is scared of our Polestar which only has 476 HP. Or at when a tease her I'm going to floor it . I drove my friends M3P, and although it has a lot of power and torque, it's very controllable. I'm sure it's the same with the Plaid. You don't hear about people wrapping them around poles or ending up in ditches like some other cars.

I would never spend that much on a car for my wife, she just ends up scrapping the sides and scratching up the paint

My wife drives the Plaid all the time. She just doesn’t floor it and it drives like any other car. The problem is we switch cars all the time so I would want a Plaid X for those times I need to drive it.

Mine doesn't even have any access to my plaid! 🤐 🙃 I only drive her myp if we go do a family trip/dinner. I would just like a little more room, luxury, and power the MX affords over the myp.

670 HP actually, not 600 HP

Yes, BUT just like my plaid started at 109k (before), I can target for a demo and $5-10k off.
