Just looks like a slippery body over the top of a normal chassis made to look mean and moody. Is the trailer the actual battery?

Could you imaging that thing accelerating at the claims stated? How unsafe would that be, I hope it can stop as fast?

Note that in Musks sales pitch states that it is 20% more efficient running costs than equivalent ICE version. Hardly worth it is it given the initial purchase cost. Not so much a leap as a fairy step I would suggest.

Still at least if you buy one of these at least you can look down on the evil ICE users and feel good about driving it up and down town and country blissfully ignoring that fact that all you have done is push the pollution to the third world, and help modern slavery.
