Hate the Mustang style large glass screen, where the gauge cluster isn’t within its own housing, separate from the infotainment.
I think a vehicle like this is really not intended for quarter-miling and definitely not for tracking. That stuff will come later. The ridiculous acceleration is more of an ”oh, by the way” than it is a reason for being. Sorta like if my SRX could rip off 4 second 0-60 runs. It can’t, but that’s not why I own it. If I had something like this to replace the SRX (currently looking towards a Blazer EV SS) it would be just fine. It would not be the replacement for either of my weekend fun cars. But it would make everyday errand running a ton more fun.
