AGREE!

I don't get the sun rising and setting solely on a drag race. There is far more to car enthusiasm than 0-60. I couldn't care less whether any fugly Tesla is faster than my car (or slower maybe for that matter).

I couldn't even quote the 0-60 on my car. Have no idea and don't care.

And, at this point I could say "to each his own" but I STILL don't care.

Everyone would have the Lambo over the Tesla in the real world. So who cares?

It's crazy how Corvette owners will brag about 0-60 times when they work in their favor, but dismiss them when they don't.

I never seen Corvette people brag on 0-60 times. I also don't consider c8 people Corvette people.

It's just brought a lot of clout chasers to the brand.

When you buy to try to impress others, you tend to brag on stuff your car "could do". When you buy for yourself, you don't care, because you bought it to enjoy it.

So everyone that purchased a C8 did so for clout and not because they enjoy the car? Get off your pedestal.

I didn't say everyone. But the ones who want to bench race 0-60 numbers all day, high probability.

Like I said, people who buy to impress others brag about what the car "can do". People who buy to enjoy it themselves don't.

I don’t dismiss it. The thing posts impressive numbers but in the end it is an ugly, soulless appliance.

Omg….the Cybertruck 60 foots amazing. Fabulous. We all get it already. It’s still a horribly ugly, poorly constructed monstrosity of a ‘truck’. They could be charging $20k new for one and I’d still have zero interest.

But but but.........winning every stoplight-to-stoplight race! And warm meals during forced Interstate highway charging stops!

I'm not an EV hater whatsoever - I like some of Tesla's offerings (not the cybertruck though). . .

But isn't this like arguing "My microwave can cook a steak faster than your grill can."?

That is a very good analogy. And to that point - not very many of us give a care how fast the steak hits our plate.
