The longer the time during which your car is accelerating the longer the pleasure
Hmm, by that definition, a 1982 Lada from Russia (which probably needs a full 2 minutes to reach its top speed of 48mph) would bring more pleasure than any Ferrari (which would reach full speed in a handful of seconds)The longer the time during which your car is accelerating the longer the pleasure
I guess I had a different "view" of my needs and wants for a mid-life transition car... I got a VW Golf Tdi (German engineering and handling for ordinary people who can't afford any other German car). My main motivation was to stop wasting precious fuel with a gas-guzzler, and autonomy (I get 55 mpg, and can drive 680 miles without refueling, and that's just under 13 gallons). All that and yet it's an absolute pleasure to drive and has more than enough torque for my needs. My first Golf Tdi was still running perfectly after 13 years and nearly 400,000 miles, and I replaced it with a new one in order to feel the same hassle-free pleasure for the next 15 years.
Call me boring...
It won't.It will get fully autonomous this year.
Try it when it's snowing and tell me how it goes? Tesla overstates their autonomous functionality like crazy.Beta is out already.

Try it in downtown Austin then. See if it'll stop at a stop light, a stop sign and turn a 90º corner. It won't.I don't know about that. It doesn't snow in Austin, so it's not an overstatement for me
What about that 60-120 gap?As to Tesla, when Roadster2 comes out it will fill a niche that's impossible for ICE cars to fill: 0-60 in 2 seconds.
