Very few people have been paying more for less power. Look at your average car on the road, performance is junk. What people are paying for right now is interior design and quality. For example look at how many A5/A7s are on the road vs the S or RS. I think this is something that is very lacking in the Tesla’s. Besides the giant screen the models are pretty basic at best.
You do realize there is an enormous sales disparity between Audis and Teslas, especially prior to 2017. Probably by several orders of magnitude.
If I were an early S owner, I would probably keep it drydocked. They might be a collectors item, whether or not Tesla succeeds or fails.
I believe the S he is referring to is an Audi. Not a Tesla.
Then I have no idea what he's talking about. All I was saying is that rich people pay good money to buy fast cars. Electric cars are making a lot of them look like slugs, in everything except range. Do people even drive cramped sports cars long distances?
The S and RS are the sportier versions of the A. The regular A outsells the S and RS by a wide margin. His point is that people pay extra for the interior quality but are less likely to pay even more for the performance.
I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss range, especially in a performance car. A 3 or 4 hour drive on a fun twisty mountain road is a fun way to spend a spend a Saturday/Sunday morning.
