Reddit user argues Tesla equals a supercar, with engine pricing claims

Unconfirmed: A Reddit user argues that Teslas, given their design and handling, already equal supercars. He claims that adding a V8, V10 or V12 engine would raise the price by $50,000 to $70,000 above current value, and compares this with the Corvette C8 Z06, which he says sells for $100,000 to $150,000. As an example, he cites the Tesla Roadster, which he says will cost around $200,000 at release and would be worth $400,000 with an engine. This is a personal opinion posted in a discussion forum, with no official Tesla figures or confirmation of price or product.…

• Author estimates $50,000 to $70,000 extra for adding a V8, V10 or V12 engine.
• Tesla Roadster cited at about $200,000; $400,000 with an engine, per the author.
