Super quick, smooth and silent acceleration is super impressive.
 I can see there being a ruling in the future to slow these EV's down... |

Yeah they have other modes besides Ludicrous, Sport mode, standard mode, eco mode & chill mode. Quote:
I read that lots of Tesla owners are getting speeding tickets by the boatload because of the silent running & no engine noise for speed reference. Quote:
I don't what sort of insurance premiums these Tesla's cost but I read Tesla is getting into the car insurance business to insure their own cars. I bet they aren't cheap to insure.

His Volvo just looked slow next to it.... sorry, behind it
With electric cars the power is instant unlike a petrol car. Even cheap and cheerful cars are amazing when you floor the pedal. I wonder how pedestrian and cycle collision rate will go with electric vehicles as people often don't look and now, wont hear when crossing the road macafee2 |
