Online comparisons of electric vehicles vs. gas operated vehicles, Tesla vs. McLaren

Here you will see the advancement and emergence of electric cars. Why they are becoming increasingly popular to the media, but why they haven’t caught on to public interest. I examine the preferences of gas or electric vehicles in society today and further examine this through specific luxury sport cars. I look at the highly innovated Tesla motorsport, and how they compare to original gas powered vehicles, specifically the McLaren sprint vehicle, according to public opinion on marketing strategies. Each of these vehicles is highly sophisticated and each has their own advantages and disadvantages. They have not yet been fully administered and distributed to the public for many reasons price being the sole cause. These vehicles are luxury cars, as fast as formula one race cars, that can have a lasting effect on the public and environment. Many of us will never have to opportunity to posses one of these top of the line street legal race cars, but I am here to analyze and deconstruct the marketing strategies of each of these top brand vehicles. I chose to examine expensive high-end cars because though we are in an economic crisis most who are able to afford such vehicles are most likely unaffected economically. This is important because to be able to examine my research topic; finding the difference in public’s interest of vehicles, will be unaffected by bias. I will be examining the interest of high-end consumers and their responses separate from the problem of price. Responses will be solely personal based on public interest correlated with media. Why and why not people are interested or disinterested in each, how media and public interest affects their sales. I found my interest in the topic through a ride in a 2010 Tesla Roadster sport. Experiencing a rollercoaster ride in a pure electric car got me questioning why everyone doesn’t have one of these. This lead me to my research proposal which was, what causes people to be turned off to this technological advancement of the pure electric car? How are gas-powered vehicles better or not? Our environment is in desperate need of reconstruction, and we as a society are struggling to create different ways to save it. Electric vehicles are the focal point to this tussle and media are doing what they can to administer these products to the public, but why are they not catching on? I focused my attention on the high luxury brand vehicles because they are the most sophisticated with the highest end of technological gadgets implanted in them, and the consumers of these products are free from economic bias. I examined the official sites and reviews of both; comparing and contrasting each to the most minute level. These sites are the best fit to analyze because they are the official sites of each and are the focal point of each brands advertisement. Analyzing people comments and reactions to these sites is the perfect source to find the differences in marketing strategies, and how they affect the public.
