Should we all clap, give him a cookie, etc? I'm guessing the EV worshippers are waiting for a 300 mph 'street legal' Plaid in the near future with his tweaks. Honestly still can't get over the look of most Tesla models regardless of performance, etc.
Has he moved past taking people's money and not giving them anything in return? Used to be he was quite the crap businessman not all that long ago.
Well I'm not sure the he's the kind of person you want to be associated with..
Hennessey has been the subject of numerous lawsuits and Better Business Bureau complaints throughout the years, with many BBB complaints left unresolved[13] and, according to court records, many judgements entered against Hennessey. Jalopnik published an article outlining Hennessey's many customer service and potential fraud issues.[14]

I can truly understand all the very many and very real reasons why.
Even so, Musk and Tesla and yes, the USA started something technically very interesting. And they've done it well. Neighbor owns a Plaid, and it's flat out cool. I've not driven it yet, but it really does exude performance, with it's fat, sticky tires. I've driven all the other models including modified Tesla's. P100D Ludicrous mode on sticky tires with a lowered car, is silly fun.
We've all seen the Tesla drag races and in car videos. What is a little more difficult to show is just how amazing the better EV's are for a performance driver, on the street. Logically, it's hard to beat huge HP AWD that is managed so well it's on the very edge of traction without drama.

Hennesy's org is really problematic. It's too bad because he has a lot of talent, but isnt a great businessman.
A quote from his employees pretty much says it all.
“At some point, all of us have looked John in the eye and told him they want him to be the person Facebook thinks he is.”

I can understand this.
You've said your piece.
Will you be refraining from further input in the electric car forums?
Or do we get to listen to you repeat yourself adding negative value to the threads about the matter?
Haters gonna hate. No big deal.
