Not if they push the price of the car up by $8k just for brakes that 90% of buyers don't need. They should be an option, not standard. Otherwise they will artificially inflate the entry price of the vehicle up to around $60k, which will be a deal-breaker for a lot of people, based on the feedback from this forum.
In fact, if they came as a
no cost option, I would NOT get them. Here is why:
I will be honest: I am one of the 90% of potential buyers that will never really need the marginal performance upgrade. I am not a poseur - I am simply a driving enthusiast who enjoys spirited driving and wants a great DD for track use 2-3 times a year. So if I am not likely to need the upgrade, why would I opt for a relatively fragile component that costs 10x as much to replace and is 100x more likely to get chipped, dinged, or otherwise inadvertently damaged.
I actually think that most of the people who DO get them will be poseurs because they are the cool "gotta have it" performance item. "check out my bitchin' CC brakes, brah"
