The tank can be filled in 5 minutes but the batteries, not so much.
Refuel and new tires in 12 seconds.
Link here.

So, how many 1/4 mile runs can you do before the battery goes dead?

too bad its not available for 4 more years Exactly. He was supposed to be introducing his new electric semi-truck, which is already being panned by even the lapdogs at CNBC
It's just the same at every quarterly press conference, he slides over the dismal production and sales numbers with talk about his rockets, space colonies, expectations about continued subsides in the new tax rip-off bill...oh, wait...what?
To: DUMBGRUNT
there is no top speed really
it is all LIMITED by other factors
I guarantee he could get this to do 1000 if he really wanted

I'm so glad that the government our taxes are subsidizing these toys for the elite. [sarcasm]

But how will it do driving to Lake Tahoe in a blizzard with chains on the tires?!

Forget the speed. If he can really get a 600+ mile range out of an electric vehicle that's a genuine breakthrough.
The whole point of "supercars" is not to be sold but as technology demonstrators. Battery life is the key limiting factor for electric vehicles taking over.

Production is relative here. Tesla is having production ramps issues on their lines.

about as fast as your car when it runs out of gasoline.
To: gubamyster
Frankly, that’s when I love having the gas-electric car. Just sitting in traffic, no engine noise, easy to inch forward, not burning off dollars.

Not that hard to make a fancy car when you get billions in government subsidy.

“genuine breakthrough. “
Break through? Make it light and add more very expensive high density batteries, and zero storage space. Yeah big breakthrough. Pretty sure a highschooler coulda figure that one out.

I really cannot stand this guy, the millennial at work think he is deity.
A typical charging station, which is supposed to replace gas stations, would have to be able to produce enough electricity in a day to power 21,000 homes!
NOT SUSTAINABLE.
I gotta fact check this number but it is what I have heard.
