luxury cars will exist in a world without gas stations too and, unlike a sport car and due to how electric motors work, this car is probably more efficient than a cheap electric car.

if humanity were only about efficiency we would be eating soylent green.

Yup, this is one of the reasons I got a Model 3 Performance rather than a Nissan GT-R.

Incredibly powerful ICEs end up being horribly inefficient. Having 500+ horsepower means getting 20 mpg while cruising.

There's probably a limit, where having larger motors starts to lower efficiency, but at the ~450 hp level of a M3P, it isn't being hit.

It'd be interesting to see the range on this 412 kph Nevera when it cruises at 120 kph (~75 mph).
