[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive a 5.7L V8 that goes 0-100 in 5.9 seconds. Paid cash for it, as I always do. I refuse to drive an electric vehicle. I refuse to go in debt for any vehicle. To each, his own. [/quote]

So your reasons for not buying an EV are that you’re poor and anti-EV. So great that you chimed in.

FYI dearie, Poors can’t pay cash for cars that do 0-100 in under 6 seconds. Poors finance their cars for 72-96 months at 12%

As a reason for not buying an EV, the PP said "I refuse to go in debt for any vehicle." Meaning (s)he can't pay cash for it.

PP probably meant 100km/h.  :lol:

Yes, anyone who finances a car at 12% for EIGHT years is dumb and likely poor.

Yeah, I refuse to go into debt for a vehicle too. Because I’m smart.   The only thing I finance is my home. When I need a car, I give them a cashiers check and leave with it.

Re-read what the PP said . That’s an expensive car with that kind of performance (5.7L V8 and 0-100 in 6 probably means either a GM or Dodge, likely a Vette or a Challenger)

S/he’s able to pay $70-$100k cash for a car 99% of people would finance, and you still think that’s an indicator of poverty?

Good grief you’re dense. [/quote]

Challenger? Snort.

Maybe she wasn't so poor when she got that car. Could be ancient. PP brought up her own financial situation as a reason why she won't get an EV. That, and she doesn't like EVs.

Who even references 0-100 speed? I had to look mine up. 4.3 according to MT.

There was an EV class for the Pike’s Peak Challenge the last few years. All Model 3’s IIRC. Basically stock drivelines, with the interior ripped out and a cage welded in, with proper tires.

They did ok overall, competitive against ICE race cars in similar classes. 
And how many times is your P100 Plaid able to do that on a charge?

3? 4?

A Hellcat or Vette will do that all day long. [/quote]

I haven't tried personally with my Model S Plaid, but this guy doesn't seem to have any trouble crushing it over and over again.

How many years did it take Tesla to post a Nurburgring time without the car going into limp mode? [/quote]

^^^ This ^^^[/quote]

Funny how those goal posts keep moving.  :lol:

For an accurate comparison we need to wait until we see one kitted out for that track.
