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!

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.

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.

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.

Not really. In fact I use it a lot, for traffic
maps and music selection. At first I was put off by
the lack of an intrument panel, then I remembered
there aren't any instruments. No gas gauge, no water
temp, no oil pressure, no tach. The only things to
monitor are speed and battery level, and those are
on the panel.
