What I can care about or respect is the craftsmanship of some of those upper echelon cars, of which the linglong will never have even 1/10th of the cachet. It’s just ugly plastic and metal attached to a giant battery pack and 3 motors. Even the Tesla looks classy next to it.
At $66 per HP this a the best automotive deal in history. It's around the price of a base model vet and only 20K more than a Nissan Nismo Z. I would take this over both those cars. I also have a feeling a lot of hyper cars are lemons. You don't hear about it because 1. No one really drives them. 2. If they complain in public it will hurt the resale value. For most it's an investment.
