This move makes sense, both
This move makes sense, both because VW (who owns Bugatti) is making a strong corporate commitment to EVs, and also Tesla has proven that EVs can match or beat traditional gas powered supercars in real world acceleration. Yet offer silent comfort and daily driver reliability. The trouble that I see with a future million dollar+ Bugatti BEV is simply the upcoming Tesla Roadster, which is anticipating acceleration to 0-60 mph. in 1.9 sec., acceleration 0-100 mph. 4.2 sec., acceleration 1/4 mile. 8.8 sec. Top Speed. Over 250 mph. Wheel Torque. 10,000 Nm. Mile Range. 620 miles. And importantly a $225K price tag (less than the sales tax on a Chiron). Sure Bugatti would have far superior build and materials quality, but I think that Tesla has got them at least a little worried about performance comparisons against their $$$ flagship exotic cars.
