This is like the 1950s hot rodding scene all over again. And it’s
a
glorious time to be a gear head. EVs already own the Pikes Peak
record, how long until they own every track record? Whatever
number of years you’re thinking, I bet it’s sooner than that.


My Tesla goes from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. When
I floor it you are literally thrown back in your
seat, very handy for entering freeways and taking
advantage of even slight gaps in traffic.



Sheesh...didn't know they could accelerate like that!


One key advantage is the lack of a transmission.
Those little pauses while your car changes gear add
up, wereas electric cars have constant acceleration
right up until their top speed.


Back in the day, I was an avid drag racing fan...saw Denny Milani
kill himself at 200 MPH while night racing at Half Moon Bay Drag
Strip.


Our local NASCAR track does "time trial"
acceleration matches before the race proper,
and Teslas always win them. Masseratti is
coming out with an electric car that will
do 0-60 in 2 seconds. For $250,000........


I read something about them doing it...but not sure how far they'll
get after just a 'one off'...I'll believe it when they produce a
decent amount at whatever the $250,000 apiece traffic will bear.

Ferrari is saying they'll go into electric car production in
2025...we'll see. Not sure Enzo would approve.


It's the wave of the future. The sheer convenience
of charging your car at night in your garage as opposed
to shivering at a gas station pump is hard to beat.

The dash layout took some getting used to but now
I hooked on the huge traffic display.


The display is huge!! Looks like it could be more of a distraction. I assume
you can lower it out of the way.
