16 GB of ram is barely enough to use modern Chrome.

I think you missed the point? Tesla brag about fast quarter mile speeds which don’t really amount to much, whereas a really nice driving experience via good suspension and weight distribution is truly wonderful.

Let’s see Tesla brag about Nurburgring times!

Yes, but people BUY 16gb of ram, and BUY a pickup bed, and BUY extra bathrooms...

and they BUY a truck that can accelerate (almost) like a porsche.

note truck cannot accelerate like a plaid :)

Oh, maybe I missed the point then?

People buy the hyper inflated metric that sounds good, even if it’s not actually what they want?

A huge one of this is (or was?) megapixels in cameras. When actually, sensor size & quality, and glass quality matters a ton.

When I'm in a truck, I'm more concerned about braking than acceleration.

They do, or try to. But then there's this awkward moment when you ask about lap 2 or 3 where the Porsche or Audi or whatever is still blazing around the track while your Plaid is pulled over in Thermal Shutdown mode.
