I'm just saying, I think if anyone were to build an EV today with full M3P level drivetrain performance, and supercharger network investment, *and* better seats, suspension, wheels, etc...it would be notably more expensive. I probably would've bought it though.Well the price difference isn't that great frankly, comparing various versions of the Model 3 to comparable sport sedans. And that price difference will be more than eaten up by the difference in maintenance and repair costs,which and the longer you keep and operate the car and the greater your mileage the more of those types of technologies will separate in terms of the bottom line. So actually the EV is cheaper over the long run. Our cost per mile including the cost of solar panels amortized over 10 years works out to ~$0.08-0.10 a mile. That's just untouchable in any ice technology.
I think the best comparison right now is the Polestar 2 with Performance Pack. Excellent stock suspension, forged wheels, better seats than M3P, more solid interior, etc. The drivetrain is solid too, very close to M3LR performance, and good thermal management. Good car. However if you also add the Pilot and Plus packs to match M3P standard features, it's significantly more expensive. And the range is a bit lower and no supercharging, and missing a lot of Tesla software feature goodness. Only the federal tax rebate makes it price competitive.
I think we're not too far away from good EVs that truly match ICE in all aspects at the same price point, but we're not quite there yet. Just my opinion!
