Not what you were going for, but ..."The performance"... 25 mpg sedans are boring... Based on my one time ride in a P90D in ludicrous mode (or whatever it's called), that's jet fighter acceleration.

I could not care less about the relative costs or subsidies. The Model 3 is interesting to me because it will come with the 2nd engine option and have a fast mode... Taht's if they redo the nose, that thing is uglier than a scooter.
