I think that they are over-hyping the performance. --a sign that they don't believe in it's merits.
I mean, promises of Porsche-beating performance, all for a govt subsidized $50k?
Why can't they just be honest? ... $50k (g-sub'd) will get you car that can eek-out a range of 160 miles, OR give a few fast bursts of 0-60 in 5.6_sec's OR touch on 130mph... OR carry four around in comfort.
...or does anyone believe that the $50k (g-sub'd) model will take a full load to 60mph in 5.6_sec's AND up to 130mph FOR 160 miles? --of course a Porsche can hit those combined metrics with ease, w/o an "either/or" compromise. But then the Porsche buyer pays big tax (sales & road) whereas the Tesla buyer gets a big govt subsidy.
