That`s because it`s a Porsche not because it uses the "joint strike force" engineering concept. The much cheaper VW hybrids use the same system. I picked this video because it`s a lot easier to find one for super cars being pushed to the limit by a well known race car driver than for a touring/family sedan.The Porche 918 costs nearly a million bucks, seats only two, and is slower to the legal limit than is the P100D Tesla. Overall, the Tesla is a better car, and will be running long after the Porche is scrap metal in a junk yard.
And that`s what matters, the limits be that airplanes motorcycles or cars. Way below the limit it won`t matter if its a quality product or a lemon. Unfortunately there are a lot of lemons because many brands aim for the slice of the market which has no clue what`s what on the drive train & engine. They fall for accessories like rear view video cams, self activating brakes in case the driver is too busy checking her mascara, self parking for people that should not even qualify for a drivers license and most importantly a GPS that knows all the drive throughs for food coffee and beauty parlors. And cars like the Prius are smack in the middle of this category.
No way would a guy who knows what`s what on a car buy a lemon like that.
Don`t forget with the exception of super cars like the McLaren, Porsche etc hybrid or all electric cars exist only because of government red tape. These governments won`t admit openly that they intend to shut down the production of internal combustion engine powered cars and force you to buy only what they allow you to have.
Their strategy is to slowly poison free enterprise at a pace that conceals the act of industrial sabotage while pretending to have a strategy for innovation....innovation limited of course by the bureaucrats to matters that serve their political agenda.
Yes there is a paradigm shift and it is political. Not just in the US but also in Europe. Brexit is just the tip of the ice berg in a swamp that is being drained
