Ferrari Pursangue v. 

Tesla Model Y Performance 

Ferrari’s Purosangue—translated as “thoroughbred”—from Italian carries a name that promises purebred Italian passion. In reality, it delivers a $524,000, 715-hp, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 SUV burdened by complexity, weight (over 4,800 lbs), and old-school engineering.

Ferrari Purosangue looks like a cheap mini station wagon

I find the styling of the Ferrari Purosangue to be extremely unappealing, as it looks like modern Toyota Prius (pictured below) copy, with a wagon back and Ferrari badges slapped all over it!?!! I think the Ferrari looks really stupid on both the outside and inside, and is a HORRIBLE investment for people who love wasting money... A CyberTruck destroys this car in every way possible, for 20% or less of the cost...Frankly, I think the lines on the Toyota look better than the Ferrari's lines...

Modern Toyota Prius has better lines than $500K Ferrari

I would say the Ferrari name of "Purosangue", which is not memorable in any way, nor is it even pronounceable as a name, pretty much sums up the vehicle, if you ask me. I think if Ferrari named this vehicle "The Rube Goldberg" model, it would have been more accurate and appealing. The supreme irony—at least in my mind—is the sales tax on the Ferrari is around the same price as the total cost of the Model Y Performance!?!!

Brooks Weisblat from DragTimes put both cars to the test. The Ferrari Purosangue runs 0–60 mph in 3.55 seconds and the quarter-mile in 11.43 seconds at 123 mph. Respectable numbers—until you compare them to the Tesla Model Y Performance.

For just $58,000, the Model Y Performance delivers 510 horsepower, instant torque, and a 0–60 mph in 3.49 seconds, with a quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds at 121 mph. In acceleration and real-world usability, the Tesla holds its own or edges ahead, especially considering traction and launch consistency.

Brooks does an amazing job of comparing and contrasting the $500,000 Ferrari to the $60,000 Tesla Model S Performance model, which basically smokes the Ferrari—badly.

This video clearly illustrates why Tesla had the entire automotive industry in check mate. For instance, the $60K Tesla has FSD built-in, and the Ferrari has none. The Ferrari Purosangue has an interior that looks like the Goodwill blew up, and the Tesla has a zen-like ultra simple interior. The Ferrari has 18 cubic feet of cargo area in the back, and the Model Y has 72 cubic feet of cargo space. I rest my case, your honor...
