Drag racing is meaningless? I totally get that you might not personally like it, but meaningless?



Rolling acceleration and track handling are more important than Drag racing. Bit fed up of 0-60 times being such an important feature. 50-70 more important, handling a bit more important again. And of course for most people build quality, running costs and environmental credentials.


The car also has record-setting 0-100mph times. And I'd argue for most uses, 0-45mph is more important, and all electric cars pretty much do awesome there.


> and all electric cars pretty much do awesome there

The Chevy Bolt with its 6.5 sec 0-60 begs to differ.


A friend of mine who owns a Leaf and a BMW 3-series was impressed that the Leaf was amazingly quick from a dead start... up to low speeds. The Bolt is faster than a Leaf, so there's your awesome, at least from my BMW-loving friend.


Environmental credentials are important for supercar buyers?
