My Kia EV6 GT will beat most cars on the road in a straight line (11.3 s 1/4 mile- best pass). This is only the beginning. When a Tesla Plaid, at around $73K used can beat most dedicated races cars...the future is upon us. Why fight it.

Also the screen will probably be so big that it will block the driver's view out of the car.
