There is a lot of bias here.
There is a lot of bias here. I have rebuilt a few 5.0 Mustangs and now own a RWD Model S.
What I think the Dodge/Internal Combustion Engine crowd seems to not understand is the day-to-day real world application of high powered EV. The power is just so much more accessible and useable than an ICE car. You can just have more fun day to day, the, "instant torque" thing is real and to say a gas car does not have instant torque might be misplaced to some extent. Just get your but in a Tesla and feel it for yourself. A lot of muscle car guys like V8's for the perceived low end torque vs. a turbo V6 for example. A Tesla is more removed from a V8 than a V8 is from a V6.
I also like how I don't feel I am abusing my Tesla when I accelerate hard and often, I just don't like being hard on a gas motor and the trans often.
There are some race situations where the Dodge wins, but outside of initial cost, the Tesla wins in so many ways:
-Safer
-About 5 times more efficient, and more than 5 times cheaper to fuel.
-Seating for 7 available
-About 4 times the storage
-AWD and amazing traction control, a great year-round car
-Aluminum construction
I bet there will be some P85+'s out there for cheap too now that people want the D.
The downfall for me with Tesla is that is really makes combustion cars look like a school project or something, I've lost interest in the cars I used to really like, sans a Shelby 427 Cobra and a Unimog.
