Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

    I can find you a motorcycle that does it for $5k. High end != speed. Luxury and quality are factors.

      motorcycle != car

      Also the torque on the motorcycle would feel completely different. I’ve never felt acceleration like that, it was AWESOME.

        Yes, it would feel different. The sense of speed on a motorcycle is much greater. I can tell that speed is such an important factor in the decision to buy a tesla because the importance of speed is made irrelevant when comparing a tesla to other vehicles that can go as fast or faster.

        Teslas will lose popularity as other EVs and modes of transport catch it. The relatively cheap speed is the selling point. Because Tesla does little else well. The luxury and reliability is severely lacking.

      I’m no Tesla fan but suggesting that the existence of motorcycles nullifies the speed differentiator is an asinine argument.

        I’m not suggesting that. I am pointing out that speed is ignored when you compare a Tesla to another vehicle that is faster. I agree with that assessment, speed is not the only important factor in a vehicle. Tesla supporters spin this logic in the other direction and it is illogical.
