Again, the suspension on Model X Long Range and Plaid is identical as is exterior other than Plaid badge. Why do people buy the Plaid version?
The reason is the same why people buy the Hellcat version. It's acceleration.

Has nothing to do with my question. Why do so many pick Model X Plaid over Long Range if the only difference is acceleration?

Why do people buy $10,000++++ watches when a $200 watch is just as accurate at telling time?

Your entire question is based on the fallacy that the ONLY difference is acceleration.

Other differences have been explained many many times. Your inability to understand the answer is a you problem.

I'll give you a hint. Most people buying cars (you as an obvious exception) are able to see beyond a number on a spec sheet. Some of those things are measurable. Some of them, status, exclusivity, etc are not quantifiable. When you can figure out how to grasp that very simple concept, you will have your answer.

And since this was originally about the Cyber"truck", I'll add this.

I just loaded up my TRUCK with an entire go-kart operation and 4 people and drove it 520 miles through the mountains in 18 degree weather. I filled up once over the weekend at the destination and drove it back... including an hour and a half traffic jam in the mountains of WV.

I made it with zero stops on either drive other than a quick stop to grab a burger at Culver's (you know, because hot meals and all) with a simultaneous bathroom stop on the way there and a 5 minute rest area stop on the way back.

Why don't you go ahead and point me in the direction of the Tesla that could make that trip. You can't. There is no EV that could come even close to doing it. When will YOU admit that the opposition to EVs is about their complete f**king inability to actually do what ICE vehicles do with ease?

Saw a couple of dead Teslas in the Donner Summit footage this weekend. Stuck in the snow, dead-flat batteries with no place to charge, in the middle of the road, caked in ice with no heater. No thank you. People would have died if not for rescuers driving ICE vehicles to haul them to safety. Morons.
