I badly want one of these, as much as that defines me as a "mark". Actually, I want the M5 competing Model S Sport, which is even more of a "take my money, please!" proposition. Still. just look at the torque curve ...
Has that hit the mainstream press very hard at all? My jaw dropped when I heard those 0-60 times. That it's for a car with 7 seats at a price comparable or less than the M5 is unbelievable. And it's so simple mechanically, it almost feels like going from a spinning hard drive to an SSD. I really, really want one.
In his reddit IAMA he says the plan has always been for the 3rd-generation (post-S) car to be a high-volume, low-price car. Based on the time between the Roadster and S releases, it will probably be a few years before they get around to that.
