It's not about speed, it's about emissions. Also taxes (in Europe) are killing combustion engines super fast. A tesla S performance pays less annual taxes than a kia i10 1.0 3-cyl. It has come to the point that I would have to refuse a free given M5 because of the variable costs that are insane. Also for this, resale value is dramatic.
