I agree with you that it was “built for performance” I disagree that it was “built for performance with no compromises”. Clearly there were some compromises if there is a limiter on performance to maintain range. Unless of course that was done for safety we just don’t know.Point taken on the 5 seconds, but STRONGLY disagree that it wasn’t “built for performance.”
Let’s compare it to an ICE Mustang GT for example:
Faster 0-60 than any Mustang GT ever built.
Better braking than almost every Mustang GT ever built (60-0 in 106 ft).
Better handling than almost every Mustang GT ever built (.99 G).
And all this from a 5000 lb SUV.
It was definitely built for performance, and those stats wouldn’t happen on crappy tires.
Either way I don’t like it when the customer isn’t given a choice. I should be able to determine that I want to give up some performance or some range. If the limiters are for battery range, give me the “I don’t care about range right now I need to smoke this model y” button. Where the car stops caring about range and just give you all the power it can.
Heres another thing: Magneride. Why is it only available on the PE when you could argue that it belongs more on the GT than the GTPE. People have said that in unbridled Magneride makes the ride as stiff as the suspension on the GT. Which means you can soften or compromise the performance on the PE for the sake of comfort. Given that the GT is the one with all season tires should it be the one with Magneride?
For me my ideal out of the factory build would have been no blue cruise no pano roof, magride, PE wheels on all season tires. I’ll go out and buy the summer and winter tires if I want to track the thing. The standard GT was the closest I could get but man do it hate my wheels.
