Here's my model 3 Performance. Ran an 11.42 @ 117.57l mph. This was when I picked it up at the service center.
It will 0-60 faster than my 2019 Corvette Z06. Wish I still owned the vette but it's sold.Damn I didn’t think they were that fast.

I think electric car manufacturers would win over a lot of buyers by making cars hybrid vs. plug-in only. Have to hand it to Toyota here, they were the leaders with the SuperUglySupremeDoucheMobile.... I mean the Prius ...
As an interim step, hybrid checks the boxes. Range anxiety is solved, performance can be solved, driving dynamics can be solved, etc. You can even have a true performance manual transmission sports car be hybrid, with the electric motor serving as a performance enhancer as well as a range extender. Want to treat your hybrid as a plug-in only? Ok, software can make sure you still burn the gas in the tank before it goes bad and causes fuel system issues. We already prompt for oil changes, DEF, etc.
Electric is a whole lot less maintenance than hybrid. With this Tesla for the first four years all that is required for maintenance is the cabin filter replacement and maybe new tires. Brakes virtually never wear out due to the regeneration system. I can drive across town and and back and never touch my brake pedal.I think electric car manufacturers would win over a lot of buyers by making cars hybrid vs. plug-in only.

Wife has a hybrid. Small 14 gallon gas tank but can get around 600 miles per fill. 143hp 4-banger but electric bumps it to 212hp. Downside is two modes of powerplants that could have an issue and driving 70+ mph, it will only get around 31mpg. Their other option with this model was a tiny turbo 4-banger but I don't care for gas vehicles where the turbo is constantly needed.I think electric car manufacturers would win over a lot of buyers by making cars hybrid vs. plug-in only.

Why is it then every one I have been behind are constantly hitting thier brakes. No I ain't tailgating I would never get that close to one.

Because the brake lights come when when we let off the throttle. Any time regeneration is working the brake lights come on. We are not applying the brakes. As I mentioned, I drive all over town and nerve touch the brakes.
LOL okay but it's still a Tesla ain't nobody loving it when it comes around the corner. In fact just the opposite
