The model Y Is  within my budget and I looked at it but the interior is a deal breaker for me.
I also think it’s over priced based on what else I can buy for +- 80K

No doubt, Model Y performance is steep, but it's hard to find 0-100 km/h parity even with $80K to spend.


Can you read? Interior is a DEAL BREAKER! Got nothing to do with 0-100 km/h...  :banghead:

I have yet to see an EV Coupe that's affordable to everyman

Other than the short-ish range this actually could be a fun daily if you have some cash.

I actually kinda like MINI, even though it's usually considered a feminine car.

Wife and son see the Model Y yesterday in parking lot, son tells my wife that's the new Tesla, my wife says, wow, I like that more than the Model 3.
Sigh. My Cybertruck might have to wait, will post back when I'm not otherwise deflecting questions about the Model Y ...

Not everyone lives quarter mile at a time...

Remember that Camaro SS 1LE is actually worse than standard Camaro SS 8AT/10AT when it comes to straight line acceleration because automatics are faster than sticks nowadays. The extra thicc tires on the SS 1LE also don't help in a straight line. I don't think that's the ultimate goal here.

And as I said, Tesla aesthetics have been going downhill steadily. Hard to like the newer Tesla's.

You know whats really fast to 100km/h....a top fuel dragster, but it really sucks as a commuter car or for taking the family to Costco. The hell with a Tesla, just get a drag car.

There, consolidates all his needs into one thing, is faster/cooler than a Tesla and you don't have to be associated with Tesla owners which is worth ALL the money  ;D

Heck, if it's a convertible he's looking for:



Low 8s car, AND street legal. 

The cage doubles as a rack for hauling stuff.  Remember, if it can haul a Jetski, it can haul skis:



Can even haul a trailer:

I really like the looks of the A5 Sportback.  Also really like the current BMW 5 series.  I follow a black M550 in to town quite often, at least until he looses me, and it's a fine looking thing!  I also like spending other people's money.   :pimp:

I really wanted an S7...until I read about the blowing up turbo issues.

Love the looks and power!
