Sorry again. List prices for the tesla show well more than you quoted.
Cost of all options, wheels, paint, etc is included (apart from Autopilot). Cost is $78k. About same as BMW M3, but 15% quicker & with better handling. Will beat anything in its class on the track.

And there are destination charges for Tesla… This isn’t even for the 3P a direct quote from KBB-
To reserve a 2019 Tesla Model 3, you’ll need to visit Tesla’s website and place a $2,500 deposit. The fabled 220-mile, $36,000 base Standard Model 3 is experiencing limited availability. What you can buy right now are the $45,200 mid-range rear-wheel-drive version (260 miles), the $52,200 long-range, dual-motor model (310 miles), or the action-packed $63,200 Performance Model 3 (310 miles). All prices include a $1,200 destination fee.
So your only off by about 10k on your Tesla price and the fact there is a destination fee. Prices range more and less but close for each.
That’s a quote from Elon and when you search for ACTUAL prices. Its AGAIN the Tesla is more expensive in some close in others less in some… Each review mentions the ACTUAL price, each search shows the actual price… I can cherry pick discounts and incentives on the Hellcat if you want but if were actually being honest the actual prices start at about the same seems slightly less for the hellcat but only slightly. If you actually look the prices start at 65,200 BEFORE incentives.
And I can get in the more usable hellcat and drive it from coast to coast from as far north as I care to go and as far south as I care to go and have no issues actually DRIVING the car I bought to drive. I can drive it 99.99% more of the time than the Tesla…
And for the 50th time. If you like the Tesla good for you. It isn’t however cheaper or faster than its competitors. It isn’t better or can do things ICE cars can’t. For me It’s just not an interesting car and definitely not worth the hassle of owning an electronic car.
My point was. electronic cars are not doing anything that ICE cars can’t do obviously other than run without gas. They run on coal, or natural gas or another form converted into electricity and THATS FINE… But again for me. I’ll take a 15 year old car put 21st century parts on it and for about 1/4 of the price be faster and still be able to get good mileage if I’m concerned about it…
I actually do appreachate the electronic cars. I have said while I don’t think they are the future I do think they are part of the future. I Actually do apprechate you giving us your feedback and its good to hear your thoughts.
