Tesla Sells Fun
Considering how interested most Americans are about the performance of the cars they drive, it’s surprising that there isn’t even more people for the new Tesla Model 3. Via software called “Track Mode,” the Performance Model 3 is now “world’s quickest sport sedan,” according to Motor Trend.
I’m reminded of the Tesla Roadster I took for a test drive with 2GreenEnergy Associate Terry Ribb a few years back. Every time I hit the accelerator she screamed like a schoolgirl with a frog down her back. The g-force is so unlike anything most people ever experience in an automobile that it’s a strange sensation; even I was scared that the whole thing was going to flip over backwards.
Tesla must be cutting into the sales of the Italian super-cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini; it’s hard to understand why someone would spend a fortune on a sports car, only to be smoked by something a tiny fraction of the price.
Craig,
Tesla’s certainly possess alarmingly quick acceleration, but at a cost to range. However, Tesla’s image doesn’t really appeal to the boy racer market, although the long promised new roadster will be a sensation when released costing only $245,000 it will be a real super car competitor.
Competition will be fierce, with most makers releasing EV luxury supercar models in 2020-2 model years.
But back to the more humble Tesla model 3, have you ordered yours yet ? If not, why not ?
