Now I daily drive a Model S Plaid w/ Carbon ceramics for the 320kmh+ (200mph) on the autobahn and nothing else is close. You can’t get a faster car for the money with a Tesla vs ICE. Even perf modding you would spend $10k more for 30+ psi in a gutted K20 shit hatch, than a performance model 3 and still get gapped in the 1/4 mile.

Most of these issues are only for the 3 and Y. Because I have an older S I have an instrument cluster. I have an under storage in the trunk as well as a bread shelf. My screen is tilted towards me and it’s part of the dash instead of sitting in front. But I agree with these shortcomings which is why I’ll only ever get the S right before they removed the instrument cluster and turned the screen to landscape.

I really want some company to just make a performance all-electric sports coupe with a traditional interior. Seriously, how much is that to ask! I need that instant torque that my gas-powered car simply can't deliver, I hate the clunkiness of transmissions, and I like the idea of charging up at home every night. But the only options seem to be Teslas, or all these SUVs. No normal sedans or coupes!
