“Teslas are bad cars. Here are a few reasons why.”

"But it’s also doesn’t make the car “better.” It does mean though that, in something like the Model S, you have a car that can get up to nearly freeway speeds from a dead stop in the time it takes to cross a wide intersection. That’s not “fun,” it’s a safety issue."
Apparently high performance means its a bad car.
It's higher efficiency that leads to no additional effect.
You don't get there faster, unless you want to count nanoseconds. All it really is is a way to surprise other drivers, and surprising other drivers is unambiguously bad.
Overshooting is defined as missing a defined target.
The target here is movement across a specific distance. Moving this distance is not missed. In fact, the target is hit with greater speed, lower costs, and lower pollution compared to whatever else you have in mind.
Less time to hit the defined target with a higher efficiency yields the performance.
Surprising other drivers has nothing to do with this empirical performance, and is a subjective measurement.
Wow! I have no idea if that is accurate, but if it is, it's very scary.

People are funny about the love/hate Tesla continuum. My take is that they are like owning any smaller volume semi-exotic car. People who think they are crazy unreliable should talk to the ex-owners of V12 BMWs.
'lectric cars appear to be the future, but the average person could stand to wait for another generation or two of batteries and buy something like an EV Corolla.
