    However, the target demographic for EVs is either “person who feels some modicum of compassion and responsibility for the world in which they live” or “fascist fuck who knows that, if they went more than thirty miles per hour, you wouldn’t be able to see the giant metal monstrosity they wave about in lieu of a dick and spine”

    Neither of these demographics have incentive to speed. One of them is solely performative, and wants to be noticed for their dick-waving, while the other would not be speeding 300+ times, because they are probably a decent person.

      Idk where you are but where I live teslas are one of the stereotypical asshole-driver cars. Theres a third demographic that wants more speed/$ and loves the torque of electric motors that let’s them zip around cars by veering into the bike lane (extreme example but I’ve seen it happen)

        I admit the possibility, but one of the primary complaints I remember reading about was the lack of “vroomvroom” noises, which are, I would contend, an integral part of the speed demon’s enjoyment.
