There is some truth in your status symbol point, just like Vettes, Beemers, MBZ, you name it. Heck, what about $70K pickups?
No one needs one; to an extent, they are bling.
If I could have only 1 car, it would not be a Tesla or any EV.
Looks like the Plaid is still using the 18650 cells. The 520+ mile range Plaid+ should be the first vehicle with the all-new 4680 cells later this year.

So what would it be? Camry LE?
1997 Camry CE. My dream car!So what would it be? Camry LE?
Actually, I can cheat because a truck is not a car; it is a tool. "He who dies with the most tools wins."
And older Camrys are pretty darn good cars, right? They run and run and don't ask for much. 5w30 ST syn oil and Maxlife ATF. Yup.
But you know what? A Tesla just might be the one... Who the heck knows?
Wow I figured you were just being picky. So is a round wheel available for people that want to actually turn in quick repetitive sequence?
I think that steering wheel is just for show. I doubt it will make it to production.
Those steering wheels are only good for dragsters, right?
..or auto shows, usually in a " car of the future" .
Ill stick with something rounder.
That's true...
The thing is, these cars are quick. They handle flat with the ultra low center of gravity.
Pulling outta a turn and giving it a little pedal is a blast!
I am not sure if this is a good fit for such a car... Maybe I'm wrong.
Plus Elon is whack. Who knows what he is gonna do?
In 1900 why did they start carving wooden steering wheels in a circle instead of a square? It was smoother than having the corners hit your hands? Usually we let the wheel spin through our hands after a corner, don’t we? Nice and smoothly. Is this car 1/8 turn lock to lock or something?

For a time, and only in a straight line.
I still maintain that the rest of your list are better cars. I'd still rather have a base 911 than a loaded Tesla.
Have you driven one of these cars?
I am not saying they are better than, say a 911, but they are amazing.
Each to their own. I love all the cars.
All good.
I tell people these cars pull like big blocks, but very few have ever felt that kind of acceleration so even that description falls short.
A model 3 performance's acceleration is just a tick slower than an 80's 1100 CC super bike. Which is mind blowing the first time you feel it.
Enough to make grown men laugh and women giggle with delight.
