The specs of the base (non-rocket-powered) car are pretty mediocre: RWD-only with 320 mile range. That's not terribly impressive in 2026, by 2028 it will be obsolete on delivery. The styling can charitably be described as generic. I agree, I don't think they have any intention of making this car.

To be fair the claimed ~1.6sec 0-60 acceleration speed is impressive - this is the benefit of electric - although if you have enough money you can already do that today in the way sexier looking Rimac Nevera R.

Which in practice you will never ever do...

I guess you could rent a trace track to give it a try, but yeah ... Supercars are more for posing than being very practical. Bughatti Veyron tire life at top speed is 15 MINUTES.

How much electric sports car owners care about increasing range beyond 300 miles or so? It seems hard to believe that such a car would be obsolete.

this is one point I agree on.

It's about right there with other sports cars rated ranges; 911/M4 get around 300-350 and the Corvette hits 400ish.

a road rally from LA to LV is 270ish miles. What else do you need a hyper-car-thing for?

Now we just need to get some goofy Musk tunnels involved so there's a reason to have the fan suction.

(aside from breaking the windows of traffic behind you with road debris)
