          Yeah, with the lack of quality and attention to detail and likelihood to trap you in and burn you alive if you crash it goes horrifyingly fast. Not any faster than your average luxury car, but more deadly

            I mean im no apologyst and i hate the guy as much as anybody, but its significantly faster than your average ice luxury car. I would never buy a tesla now, but i also am not a fan of skewing the facts to fit a narrative. The cars were shit in the beginning and are much better now. Pretty, well equipped and fast. But dont buy any of them, fuck tesla. And fuck elon especially.

              They accelerate faster. But they lack the top speed of a lot of more pedestrian cars.

                But honestly, if talking generally not even about tesla, acceleration is really the only thing that you can even use. Cant really use top speed anywhere.

                Edit: after looking at the stats i thibk youll find that teslas offer a very much satisfactory top speeds compared to “pedestrian cars”.

                Model Y: 193-250km/h
                Model X: 250-262km/h
                Model 3: 233-261km/h
                Model S: 250-322km/h
                

                Compared to:

                Bmw x5: 209-285km/h
                Honda CR-V: 189-185km/h
                Škoda Kodiaq: 198-231km/h
                Audi A6: 209-250km/h
                Volvo S60: 189-230km/h
                Bmw 5 series: 209-250km/h
                Porsche 911: 293-330km/h
                

                So actually, thats not the case at all. But i want to mention again, that i hate Elon and everything he stands for. Do not buy a tesla. I just like facts.
