More like $60K for the Model Y that goes to 60 in 3.5 seconds. The S model with dual motors and the big battery can be rigged to to to 60 in 2.3-2.4 seconds (once) in Ludicrous mode. The performance deal is the Model 3 dual motor with the "Performance Boost" download for $2K that takes it about 3.9 seconds or so for a total of about $50K. The Federal tax credit is gone, but there's still some state credits. In CA, I think they add up to about $3,500. Plus the cost/mile is a lot lower, maybe around 20 cents on the dollar.

I got a Model 3 for commuting and it's a fun car. Its body is all aluminum I believe, and you can feel the lightness when driving it. It's silent and fast. Mine only goes to 60 in 5.4 seconds, which is satisfying, but not jaw dropping. The fit and finish is second rate, but the technology is good. It's a good laugh generating a fart sound in the vicinity of any of the seats.
