People buy Teslas because there isn't another realistic long range EV on the market right now other than new models from the likes of VW or GM, I'd be shocked if they still have a major hold on that category in a couple years.

So there are long range EVs on the market other than Teslas?

The last time I did a track day at Pocono there was a dude there with a martini livery wrapped Tesla that replaced the martini logo with “teslatini”. It was still electric and all he did was the rolling drag racing. He had it plugged in to one of the regular outlets in the paddock between runs, though I’m pretty sure he only managed 2 or 3. Trailered in and out.

Neat concept and certainly unique anyway. He wasn’t faster than the straight piped m3’s.

That’s my Tesla story.

E: pretty sure this is it

i've only seen one cool tesla and it's the dude who comes out in their tesla model 3 performance and puts down some genuinely impressive times. it's quick in the stupidest ways, and he's actually spun in it a few times.

that said, i fuckin' died when i found out that tesla owners were calling their cars "M3"s

ya its getting there, but talking to the average person their impression generally is that Teslas have the better range.

I agree with you. But what is truth doesn't equal people's perception of things and people's perception is what has to change for other brands to start moving EVs
Which is why they're "The Apple" of EVs. The general person thinks Apple have the best screens/batteries/cameras because Apple tells them so, despite the internals being 2-gen old Samsung/Sony OEM parts. They market their product like they're the only answer and the rest of the market just doesn't exist, and have hard anti-consumer lock-in practices.
This creates mindless militant fans who wax nonsense about "the ecosystem" but don't realise that outside of "the ecosystem" everything else works together with everything else.
