Good we need more high performance EVs instead of tech for everybody.

Sarcasm off. Please also make the move to Formula 1 with EVs. Only then some people start to understand that electronic is superior (except charging, but this we'll be solved)

Formula E is a thing, but so far it's been much less fun to watch than Formula 1 (see [1]). They tried introducing "exciting" features like fanboost and attack mode, but IMO it hasn't helped.

Formula 1 is slowly and carefully transitioning their power plants to more and more electric while still retaining the excitement. The 2026 rules just came out, and they're switching to sustainable fuels among other changes [2].

(+ 0 to 100mph in under 4 seconds)

(+ 1/4 mile in under 9 seconds)

(+ $249k, but with delays)

(+ current battery realities, $TSLA don't share)
