2 million+ bucks for an electric car!



For those people that a 1/4 million dollar electric car is just too common.

2,000 HP and nice looking car. Just a tad out of my price range. 2 to 2.5 million bucks!

Great looking, high tech and all that but I just can't get past the name...

"Rimac" - That sounds like something "consenting adults" do to each other.

I would do a straight up swap, if I can pick the colors and options.

BTW, are we still pretending that this is about saving the planet?

Look at the way it pulls away from an SF90 at the 8:00 mark.

There comes a point where one needs to admit that one actually wants a private jet.

Flat-earthers won't stand for evidence like that.

uhm... Flat-earthers would tell you that you are looking at it wrong - the race was in reverse and the Ferrari won.

WHat are you trying to say here? That Electric cars are the only future, and anyone who disagrees is a Flat-earther? - Idiocy. Until batteries improve massively, along with infrastructure, electric cars will be expensive toys.

BTW, Flat-earthers are just a bunch of tongue in cheek BS'ers.

Likely even more money, and lots of G forces in three dimensions. Just a toy for rich people.

That’s crazy fast. My 1st question is where do you drive that thing? I’m in the camp that 300hp is plenty for cars under 3k lbs. My guess is that you would punch it and drive right into a tree. Would I want one, yes. Would I immediately sell, yes.
