Where did this stat come from? This is not even close to true.

I know, my friend has a Model S P85D from 2015 with 100k+ miles and it still performs like new.

The batteries usually have like a 8 year/125k warranty too.

It's not a muscle car if it can't do a smoky burnout. They better design in a line lock mode.

They've been teasing that future Dodge EV's should be able to do a 4-wheel burnout.

I believe in CA they have to have 10 year/150k warranty.

I like how it actually looks like a car instead of every other EV pile of trash.

I think it looks pretty cool and they are pushing some changes to the normal EV options out there right now

I will say that NO ONE will want to fold down those back seats and put stuff in the hatchback - the back seats have CF on them!! what the hell?

so you can't see it when they are up - and when they are folded down, you are scared to put anything on them as they will get scraped/cracked

but I doubt that will make it to the Release version

What a beauty

Compare that to the ugly cars bmw is releasing, they have lost their minds!

Don't worry, production cars won't be nearly as nice.

You don't need line lock to do a nice burnout.

I installed a Tazer on my Hellcat which gives you line lock with the stock computer.

For Tesla it's to 150K, but only kicks in if you fall below 70% of rated capacity.

Imagine an MPG warranty on a car that is bought because it gets 30 MPG, but you can't claim a warranty repair till the MPG falls under 21.

It's not a bad warranty, just be sure to read the fine print. It also indicates what "normal" and "expected" looks like.
