It is a wickedly fast car in all respects, handles like it's on rails, costs as much as a house and if it didn't I might be interested.....and it still sounds terrible. Having said that, EV's have no soul.....car guys that push back against EV's likely fall into the camp that like mechanical watches.....theres a soul. Tech is great, my iPhone keeps better time than my Rolex or Omega, but I love my mechanical watches and my ICE cars with their soul and the noise they make because of those moving parts.
