You are right to question the rationale. This is a scenario that only exists with this hypothetical “use it or lose it” $300k budget.

“But when can we get normal levels of power.”

The final option, limiting engine power, is the most disconcerting of the bunch, but — once again — the law still requires that the driver can overrule the ISA by pushing the accelerator harder.

Pretty funny video.
Guy with no garage space buys 13 cars for the thrill of buying broken things and fixing them goes on to complain that its expensive to buy and fix 13 cars and because he never drives them then complains that just keeping the batteries charged is a pain. Somehow made it into adulthood with never…

Counterpoint - this looks cool as hell. 

Buyers: stop being boring and clogging America’s roads with generic crossovers, buy something interesting.

Counterpoint: daring design = good

Now before you judge, it’s not straight piped or bagged, nor does it have that obnoxious “move over ==>” windshield sticker. And it’s just the 5.7.

Customer: Hi, my lease is up and I’d like to buy my Mustang Mach-E.

That’s quite literally not true. The auto industry is trying to squeeze every ounce of current profit and reinvesting all that money specifically into the massive medium to long term goal of switching over to EVs.

If nothing else, rip’em down to base materials and recycle them!
