Is it the fastest car ever made? No.
Is it the fastest production car ever made? No.
Is it the fastest production sedan under $100k from the Factory? Possibly if you don't count the Demon 170 which is a coupe.
Also what you classify as fast isn't the same thing as I do. 0-60 doesn't mean fast to me, it's quick. Quick to get up to speed. Fast is something that can do a 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, or top speed. I don't disagree that instant power is great, I was just pointing out the stupidness of saying it was "the fastest car ever made." I've got an Audi S4 that gets 3.2 0-60's with just a simple OTS tune, they just don't come that way from the factory.
So the answer is you get rid of the car at the 7.5y mark. Or you decide it's worth $15k/4y to keep it running.
It sucks but it's your worst case scenario and not totally unlikely to happen. And all of that said I love the stupid car and still choose it.
In any case, lots of competition is hitting the market and hitting it hard, Tesla was able to get away with bad QC and lots of broken promises but those days are over. Dropping prices is their way of trying to keep hold onto the market. They simply won't be able to charge Apple prices anymore, and their margins will take a massive hit because of that.
Sorry, I now see this has already been discussed.

EVs effect on saving the environment is negligible once you factor their manufacture. Better tech than ICE for sure though
