basically a heavy 6000lb write off. Supposed to be able to write it off immediately in the first year so you basically get the car for a huge discount since you writing it off as a business expense. reducing 80K tax liability in your biz earnings.
It's vastly more efficient to produce electricity in central power plants regardless of fuel source than to burn gasoline in inefficient internal combusion engines where most of the fuel turns into waste heat instead of motion.
If that grid has mostly coal based power or in some cases, even natural gas power, then the net result is that for the overall environment, the electric cars are not beneficial.

Even with a 100% coal grid EVs are still cleaner than gas cars over the typical lifetime of a vehicle.
And in countries like the US where about 80% of the grid is not coal you reach "cleaner than a gas car including production costs" VERY quickly and it keeps being more clean year after year (because our grid keeps getting cleaner over time)
That's a decent deal for a fast as f car. or I can do model X if I want to keep an SUV but 2.5s 0-60 isn't fast enough if I have to spend 60K to trade up! Might as well go for 1.99 for roller coaster fun

Outright false.

Now, he estimates the break-even point could be between 67,000 km and 151,000 km. Ernst told Reuters he did not plan to change those findings, which were based on a different set of data and assumptions than in Argonne's model."
Which means that a single study is not adequate to make such conclusions. Lets agree to disagree.

Elon definitely thinks a hard recession is coming. Ironically, I could see the Model Y prices getting jacked up a bit this fall.

Everyone can hit 0-60 hard all day and make use of the fastest acceleration outside of a Rimac at 2.3M And maybe only 0.01% can hit the top speed.
I'd bet 90% of people don't even go past 100Mph while 1% may go past 120Mph occasionally. I know of maybe 2 guys who would go 120mph+ on the high way but that's like for 1 minute max. No one I know will go 150Mph for more than a second and their cars can do 180Mph. They can't even do that at Watkin's.
150Mph is crazy fast already and need a straight line and slightest movement could be a bit scary on public roads.
Anyway- I'd think 50% Plaid Owners can hit 0-60 hard on the street as long as the road is clear at the launch My MYP is only 3.5s, My old M3P was 3.1s I gun it all the time while launching or passing (this is also another area where quick reaction and power is awesome with the no lag launch). I'd get Plaid S but I enjoy the SUV size but Plaid X is just 2.5 and not worth the upgrade for me for 60k cash
So if you want to enjoy 0-60 launch thrills for yourself and your passengers, Plaid is best deal and can best all of the cars you can afford. Sure it doesn't look as cool as Turbo S but it's also half the price.
