In this case they’re still well off enough to finance a car for at least $60k and presumably much more. I still do not care. 

Word. These define “non-essential”.  This isn’t gouging on plywood before a hurricane.  Can’t afford the toy yet?  Don’t buy the toy yet!

Wait 6-12 months. Or shop around. 

NBD. If I wanted one I’d just wait to the 2nd model year after the hype has died down and the inevitable recall campaign is done.

Drive a performance EV sometime. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Instant torque and low center of gravity is a lot of fun.

the beauty is that they can make the battery pack any shape they want. so yeah part of the pack where the engine is, but there’s also a boatload of room where the tunnel is too... not to mention if they were to remove the shifter assembly and all, make the tunnel taller, they should be able to cram a decent amount of…
