Guy down the street from me (he is in his mid 80’s and a retired Boeing engineer) has a Tesla AWD on order.
“The rear motor of the P85D churns out the equivalent of 465bhp, the front motor 218bhp, making for 683bhp in total – an awful lot of power in anyone’s money.”
Now remember the two fundamental immutable laws of the universe:
1. There is no such thing a a skirt that is too short.
2. There is no such thing as too much horsepower.
Sounds dangerous - will the stern overtake the bow?
strictly from an engineering perspective electric car has a lot of great points ... but also the one major drawback ....time to refuel....
from the so-called with green perspective there is alot of pure BS...electricity that to be generated and transported via infrastructure to get it into your vehicle is no more green than gasoline.
the manufacturing and rare earths that have to be used to make it, make the car less green than the Greens want to.
not to mention the recycling costs at the end of this lifetime so from perspective it’s kind of bogus..a lot of hidden costs...so all the government kickbacks on this to try and make it cost competitive are completely unwarranted..and just anti free market competition
that being said there’s some cool technology in this vehicle...

funny gasoline was originally a green fuel...gasoline was the waist byproduct from making kerosene...
and kerosene from petroleum itself was the green alternative to whale oil
