Try telling that to some rabid fanboys, claiming 0-60 means nothing, that “you can’t legally use all of that power anyway”, and that to state any fault the car might have, means you know absolutely nothing about what a “sports car” or “driver’s car” is supposed to be.
We already received a pair of them, and they flopped (and rightfully so), because they couldn’t even best a 160hp Miata in 0-60 and produced actual torque numbers to the wheels at 4k RPMs the likes of which anyone who has ever held a torque wrench could muster.
Exactly, AWD + 4,000lbs and up worth of traction + instant peak torque from the very first RPM = insane 0-60 times.
Yeah yeah, tell that to your boss. If you have a job, the point of the journey is to arrive, and on time.
It really doesn’t work that way, at all, with how and when people brake and all that, and then there’s the efficiencies involved.
Exactly, but all to often actually doing, or at least ensuring, that the right thing gets done, only succeeds in getting you branded as any number of petty, disparaging labels in today’s world.
That should be common sense, and should go for any product. However, I’m certain there’s at least a few people sharing similar sentiments about Apple, who also hypocritically agreed with these sentiments:
There are several words for love in classical Greek, all denote a different type, within a specific context. Agápi is simply supposed mean the more selfless, charitable type, in the same way that you love your hometown, and those in it.
I’m actually fairly surprised she didn’t offer a free grape soda with that.

I get what you’re saying. My truck is an auto, and my wife’s car is an auto. Having an auto trans and not having to worry about shifting in constant stop and go traffic, or at redlights that are up steep hills where other drivers have creeped up so close that you might not be able to fit a bottle of water between your…
How about two Hyundai drivetrains?
Considering all that a Tesla is, with its numerous sensors, multiple ECUs doing various things, from battery management, voltage management, and cooling all the way to managing data from the sensor suite the “autopilot” and “autopark” features, etc...

Yes yes, and the flight data recorder from U.S. Airways Flight 1549 showed that one engine was operation and at idle, even when that clearly was not, and could not be the case when the NTSB recovered the engines in their investigation.
If by “extended periods” you mean, in 4 miles or less out of a 14 mile road course, then yes, you would be right.
Considering that 1,100lbs isn’t too far off from the weight of its battery pack, then it quite obviously came from other sources.
It’s not even that, it’s just 0-60, where the instant peak torque from the electric motor gives a huge advantage. From 30mph and beyond, it’s all downhill, because electric motors rapidly lose power as the RPMs climb.
It also ignores a lot of little things, like the money being paid tax free and “under the table” as wages, being sent out of the country. That hurts our economy.
