I'm not accepting the down sides of an EV if it merely matches the characteristics of a 4 cyl turbo.

And it's worse than that. Tesla has stated from the beginning that they are dedicated to improving efficiency and continuing to offer lower cost vehicles. Then when prices drop people are outraged.

How is it a "fuck you to your customers" to make your company more efficient, allowing you to produce better vehicles at lower prices?

They continue dropping prices across the whole range, and included more features in the $35k version than anyone expected. They are producing quality products that people love and they keep getting cheaper so more people can enjoy them.

Man, that's terrible for the customer.
