Zero to 60 in 3.5 seconds. I'm starting to believe.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The CAR has a 315 mile range. NOT the battery. Bad headline. Unless Superman throws it like a football.

TWO point five seconds.

At $135,000 it is still a rich man’s toy.

basically a city\commute car that can do 0-60 in 3.5 ? my first thought was “What’s the point”?

I’ll believe it when I see it. Someone is full of a lot of shit.

The acceleration of electric cars will always be better than cars with an internal combustion engine. Electric engines create massive torque numbers and the torque is delivered almost instantaneously.

While improving, the travel range numbers need to be improved even more to make electric cars feasible for common use. My not very fuel efficient crew-cab pickup truck gets over 350 miles on a tank of gas (while carrying several passengers and baggage). When it runs empty, I need 5-10 minutes to fuel up and I'm back on the road. An electric car would need much longer time to recharge its batteries to get 250-300 more miles. I also own a minivan which has a much higher fuel range than my truck.

An infrastructure must be created for this. It will be paid for by everyone. Its cost MUST be factored into the cost of running an electric car. The buyer must consider the cost of replacing the batteries.

The unpleasant truth is that there is much more energy available in gasoline, at a lower cost than from electricity.

Electricity must be generated. That costs money. It must be stored in non-renewable batteries.

$135,000.....

I believe but I'm not stupid. I can buy a house for that much....or put a kid through college.

Complimentary fire extinguisher included?

[CapnJack]

who cares how fast it goes. If it takes me 2 days to drive from NH to DC ... Fagedaboudit.

Plus, $130,000 for a car!!!

Another “rich person’s toy”.

My Jeep Rubicon gets about 315 miles on a charge that just takes a matter of a minute or two to administer.
During the recent unpleasantness in Louisiana, I drove it through about 30” of water. Not sure the, “fastest car in the world,” would have been able to keep up with me.

[Travis T. OJustice]

We had electric cars with a 300 mile range 120 years ago.

“...315 miles...”

In the summer with the ac on, in the winter with the heater on? BFD!
