I know they are fast around a track, but not nearly as involving or engaging to drive. It almost does it for you. I work in the industry and my company does hardware/software for those, including tuning so I have behind the wheel experience in all their models.
I get it as a replacement for a 3 series sedan. But not for a sports car like the Vette. Sounds like Vette was not the right choice of car given your use cases if you're replacing it with a 4 door sedan to cart stuff around.

Things change. I've been through over 20 cars over the past like 15 years. They range for mini coopers to giant land yacht cadillac XTS. I like cars and I enjoy trying different ones. I also enjoy the hunt for the next one, finding deals etc. While the tesla is replacing the C7 it is not a replacement for the C7. You cannot compare the two in anyway other than 0-60 times.
Honestly I made this post to see if there were any cars in my price range that could compare to the C7 and would peak my interest. Maybe something I had not thought of yet. Honestly there weren't any. If I wanted to get back into a sports car I would buy a C7 or C7 Z06 again. So I decided to go with something completely different for me.
It's certainly no sports car (for many reasons, many subjective), however it is an all around pretty sweet car. I have been critical of tesla in the past but I am honestly impressed with the model 3. As I said before here in FL I don't have many twisty roads so I get to enjoy that straight line performance a lot more. I also like tech so I do enjoy all the tech in the car.
