M3 vs Tesla 3

Looks like an era of electric cars moving forward. I thought it was interesting. M3 lacks about 40 hp to compete Tesla. Mods can relocate my post.

That ship has sailed. My old e92 M3 sounded better than all of these turbo cars. We have to just move on.

The expense factors comes in - modding to me is affordable $500 - $2500 range... something fun to do.
Tesla lets upgrade cooling or battery... that's 10's of thousands, totally different.
Im a fan of Tesla but it's not for me.

Weird video though. Drag race is a given. I think a proper driver on a flying lap would be quite a bit quicker on a track. Maybe even this weird Mickey Mouse track. Smacks overall of a cry for clicks.

If they did, they'd market it as a feature or easter egg.
