fast EV cars

[David]

Lucid Saphire
0-60 2.1s
0-100 4.2s
14 mile 9.3s @ 153 mph
427 mile range


Tesla Plaid
0-60 2.1s
0-100 4.3s
14 mile 9.4s @ 151 mph


Porsche Taycan Turbo S
0-60 2.4s
0-100 5.8s
14 mile 10.3s @ 132 mph


For grins, Ferrari 296 GTB (hybrid, not full EV)
0-60 2.4s
0-100 4.7s
14 mile 9.7s @ 150 mph


At least Ferrari names sometimes still mean something. 296 means 2.9L 6 cyl I guess


Porsche calls an EV a Turbo. Mercedes and BMW number names seem random now, with scant relationship to displacement.


The speed of these vehicles is mind boggling. OK, maybe an EV isn't the best choice for towing or driving cross country. But for a luxury car that goes as far as I need 99.9% of the time, sure.

My daily driver is a Plaid....addicted to the self driving function although it will try to kill me ever so often......not any kind of "green" person here either......just can't get over the instant speed.
For in town you can't beat it....cost me like $1 for 21 miles charging at home. Wouldn't recommend for any out of town trips long enough to have to find a charging station however. I do have a few gas burners too....G63, Demon, 930 .......
