and shitloads of it.

but i just can't get into those ecars, they remind me of Top Gear's description of German cars: engineering at it's finest but no soul.


I disagree. Being the first of its type, I think these cars have more character in the front motor than 99% of the same ole bullshit that rolls off of the assembly line today. I love the idea that soon they'll have better range than even the best hybrids, with more power than even the fastest sports cars.

E: And not to sound old, but come on man... The safety ratings? It fucking broke one of the machines it was being tested on.

its just sad that theres so much blowback from the auto industry that is trying to essentially shut down tesla motors. elon musk is doing so much and even letting his patents become public to help the advancement of the technology.

i got walked by a tesla 2 runs out of three but it wasnt that new one, they've earned my respect for sure.
the guy had 0 spining, and left in silence lol and i coulnt pass him with the c5z except for the race where he forgot to put the launch on or w/e


The one I raced was way faster off the line but I blew past him by the end of the 1/4.

Being an electric with an extremely consistent power output they can manage traction control far better than an EFI engine can. Because it has perfect traction, it is going to destroy average drivers in manual gas cars with equal power and equal traction. Even a really good driver will do nothing but hold even with it.

Even the 60 and 85 arent bad at all... 5.5 seconds isn't bad at all for a 4 door sedan. the P85D is just retarded.
