    Not enough numbers are given. But the assumptions are generally correct. The car with better aero will be faster, and if the charger tranfers weight better to the back. But i would prefer to see side by side time slips in hole.

    Not relevant for an awd tesla because all the weight rests on driven tires. But ok. Point?
    Why don't you try reading the whole article...

    Your the most active troll here.

    Proving sugar wrong does not make me a troll.

    I’ve driven a P90D with the Ludicrous upgrade and the 0-60 acceleration was pretty sick but the over all driving experience and highway acceleration was underwhelming. You just can’t beat a Petro fuelled engine for overall driving experience.

    That's my feel too. Handling is crap because it's 500-600lb heavier than car of same class. But it's least it's not all in the nose.

    That said, I love 1 paddle driving for day to day.

    Talking to a friend about this and I think he aptly put it in saying, "It's not a driver's car. It's soulless." I have to say, I've raced one and it did seem very odd only hearing my engine. Personally, there's so much to be said about hearing the revs climb to the point of an explosion and the smell of the exhaust tingling my nose. I do love going in straight lines but the feel of corners is also something else where I don't think you'll get that from a Tesla.

    What’s wrong with bunny hopping a couple speedbumps

    Elevated Tesla charging stations for the lucky roadster owners too.

    That acceleration feeling is legit. I saw the videos of people freaking out and thought it was an exaggeration until I experienced it myself, and I almost crapped myself.

    Yeah. We're conditioned to hear engines revving and exhaust sounds when we accelerate, or when we just start the car. It's jarring your instincts when you don't get any of that with the Teslas. Not that I think it counts as a strike against it - it's just different.

    My boss has a p85d. Its an amazing driver. I never liked flash, stickers or huge wings and loud cars. All the things uselsss for perofrmance. I dont miss the noise or the smells. For Sure.

    The boss is excited about the roadster. If they do a deposit like our 3, we will do it, by the time its ready for delivery well be able to afford it.

    Founders edition is $250k (full price) deposit. Regular joe can put down a $50k deposit. Have friends in high places in Silicon Valley, 3 people I know with way too much money paid the full $250k for founders edition haha. They've made enough money on Tesla stock that it's a drop in the bucket. So put your money where your mouth is and put down the $50k deposit.
