I too think its a pretty amazing car! I also think (as confirmed often here on PP) that most people who poo-poo it haven't driven one.
A great driving experience, sure. Paying 100k for one? Yeah, I would rather have... so many other things. Airplane?

Some may see all the tech as a value-add. I don't. My Cayenne is bad enough, on the electro-techno scale. So please don't poo-poo those who see the value/risk differently, for a govt subsidized battery-powered car. And, Of course, Car decisions are not based on driving experience alone. Some cars are like boats - great fun to take out and about. SO much better when they are owned by someone else.

PS, the Tesla is much more fun with the traction control 'off.' Else the full power waits 'til your pointed straight. Nanny systems abound...
