I really can't bring myself to buy a new car but this would be about the most enticing. Even if I were wealthy I would probably still buy used cars (and my hobby is racing so it is not as if I don't appreciate cars).

at high 'racing' speeds, perhaps you should be aware that it doesn't have the best aerodynamics for road-holding (i.e. negative lift or downforce). also many people have reported some vibration issues that couldn't be resolved; https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/vibration-high-speeds
On the plus side, the Model 3 is much better with the cooling issues that S/X have when track racing. What cars this inexpensive have good downforce?
check comment below (BMW 3 series or Golf GTI)
Can you kindly recommend a good $40k-ish car that actually generates downforce?
BMW 3 series or Golf GTI - tried both on max speed. super stable.
still, Tesla is a very good ctiy car. a larger and better-looking BMW i3 or a cheaper i8.
How much does aero matter on a 4100 lb. car? (1850 kg)
