I bought an EV as my second car instead. At least I can have some fun in the with it in the City. The crazy acceleration and instant response of EV's does fill some of that performance car itch. I suspect thats another market thats cannibalizing sports car sales.

For me, it’s also because traffic has gotten so bad, I can even use a sports car. I loved my E39 M5 but I was never able to stretch its legs unless I did a dedicated multi-hour trip just to drive better roads.

Im glad I ended up with a Model 3 RWD instead of a Bolt. Had an order with a Chevy dealer for 6+ months and they never even started building my order. Once the Model 3 got the full 7.5k subsidy, I jumped ship and I’m glad I did. Too bad the new Model 3 doesn’t qualify for any subsidy now.
