Seriously if one were to buy the latest and greatest hypercar nowadays and then have a Tesla smoke it, why even bother. Half the reason why anyone would purchase these things are for the bragging rights or potential abilities of said car. Not so fun when a 100k Tesla kills your half a million dollar car all the while seating 5 people.

What about handling? Being fast in a straight line looks great on paper but to me a fun car needs to be fun for more than 2 seconds at a time. Granted I haven't driven one in real life but I remember in Gran Turismo the Tesla was a huge turd going around a track.

It seems like now really is a time to urgently do as much enjoyable driving as possible. Being stuck driving autos or EVs with no gears seems to be coming faster than I'd like. Watching some of my friends who are daily driving commuter vehicles while slowly building a fun car make me wonder if they'll even get to drive it when it's finally done.
