If I were a betting man, I’d say the Model Q will probably just be a de-contented Model 3 with cheaper interior materials, less powerful motors and a smaller battery.

$68k to have a bright red TOYOTA badge in your face the whole time. Who thought that was a good design choice? I bet Toyota will offer an accessory package to black out the red letters.

Surveys can be biased, if the people doing the survey don’t mitigate and account for their bias. A well designed research survey takes precautions to eliminate bias and check validity of responses. But yeah...McKinsey? Probably not a well developed survey.

Agreed. Buying an EV today, likely means a bigger investment than just the car itself. Many folks have had to make additional investments to update their home electrical systems or add home charging capabilities. I think for many people their EV might also not be their only car; so they might not plan to replace their…

^This!

A remote operated taxi? No thank you.

Bingo!

Realistically the people buying a GTD already have a Roma (or equivalent) in their garage. 

And tires. Tires are a really big thing for lap times! Put that Viper ACR on modern rubber and I suspect it would shave off at least another second if not more.

About 3950 lbs apparently. 

Absolutely the Moza SP1 and SP2 have the speedster game on lock down. 

Ok, but it’s still ugly.

The “Cyberbeast” had a launch price of $120k, it says that right there in the article. The current price on Tesla’s website for the “Cyberbeast” is $99,990.

People who reserved the Founders Series Roadster (1,000 units) had to put down the full $250k. $250 million interest free loan to Tesla.

When Tesla first offered the Foundation Series to reservation holders in 2023, the price was $120k. Here is a period Business Insider piece discussing the pricing:

You know, now you put it that way (minimalist Rolls Royce), I think that may be exactly what Jaguar was going for. Especially since that is the supposed target market they will be going after now. Jaguar made a car with very few Jaguar design cues, because they don’t want people to identify it as a Jaguar. 

So Jaguar saw what Cadillac did with their large super expensive sedan and decided they would also do a sloping long roof?

Ehm…. No.

Cadillac has been teasing a big luxury coupe/convertible for some time now; but I’m afraid if they built one it would be like the Celestiq and cost a fortune.

I agree that a top trim Integra would be a better buy than a base model 2 series gran coupe. The BMW is 179” long (70” wide and 56” tall), which actually makes it slightly shorter than the Integra (186”). The Integra comes well equipped at that price point, whereas you still need to start checking options boxes for…
