Since I'm a guy who loves fast cars

Since I'm a guy who loves fast cars And lovely harris want's us in EV's, could anybody suggest a good EV to drive. Now I like the roar of the engine as I take my Vette down the quarter mile for another 10 second pass, but since I'm a man Originally Posted by DEAR_JOHN
A stock Tesla Model S Plaid can run a quarter-mile in 9.3–9.4 seconds
That imaginary Corvette of yours will be blown off the road.
I know. Trust me. You don't want noting to do with MY Tesla Model S Plaid. Mine goes 8.00
and I got a full cage SFI Spec 25.1 certified by the NHRA. 16 point cage. Yes, 16 point.
...


Nowhere did I say nor imply a Vette could stay with a Tesla Plaid. Perhaps remedial reading 101 should be your best friend. My fastest car was a high 9 second Challenger Red Eye with a small pulley and a set of drag radials, but still tuned to run on 93 octane gas. Outside of this, I still detest EV's about as much as I can detest anything. Originally Posted by DEAR_JOHN

Now I like the roar of the engine as I take my Vette down the quarter mile for another 10 second pass, but since I'm a man, I have no idea about a quality EV. Any suggestions for EV? Now save your breath on the Tesla, I've taken a test drive in a Tesla plaid, and even though I was impressed, myself and my male buddies wouldn't be caught dead in an EV. We're just guys who haven't got a clue about a battery powered car.

Now, what I know about EV's are two things. One is they catch on fire real easy, and the other is about money. For many years I councilled people on saving money on their electricity bills but those people who could barely afford food, like the past 4 years, surely can't afford an electric bill 2 x 3 times higher than a normal bill.

Now, let's take a huge subdivision like Kingwood in Houston. So since harris will demand an EV in every garage, there's another use for the term demand, and that's what an increased load will do to the electric infrastructure in any given house or any given block. It will cost money to have the proper electric wiring, panels, and sockets installed. Each individual block will cost thousands of dollars for increased wiring and increased transformers. This is even before the wiring gets to the meter. Of course, what is a few trillion dollars for a city half the size of Houston to prepare for EV's, I mean harris and those stupid fools who want the new green deal to spend money on.

But if you don't want the best EV on the planet with a Model S Plaid then try the Lucid Air.

But since you wouldn't be caught dead in one, i'm unsure what the actual topic here is because you're asking for recommendations, but you wouldn't be caught dead in one.

A client of mine took my for a spin in his Tesla. It was freaking awesome, even for a no replacement for displacement guy like myself. The silent acceleration is amazing, or you can set it to simulate a variety of different vehicles. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one if I had an office job with predictable daily use.
