“The quick 0-60 gets you to the next charging station really fast.”

It also gets you to the tire dealer fast, too.

How heavy of a trailer can it pull and how far.

You have to buy the optional bug zapper attachment. This locates and zaps all bugs within 10 feet of the grill so that they will drop to the ground before they can splat into the car.

Of course, this option will reduce available power and vehicle range.

Dad: “hey son, can you go pull the Bentley into the garage?”

Teenage son: “c’mon dad, I’m busy”

Dad: “It’ll only take a couple of seconds...”

Looks like fun to clean the bugs off the front of.

If you can afford the car, you can afford a menial to clean it.

The finest Ferrari is still limited to about 3 MPH in the afternoon rush hour. It's just silly to burn money on high performance vehicles when operating a legally posted speed limits on public roads.

When I lived in Chula Vista, there was a 4th of July fireworks show occurring at Southwestern College. The traffic was backed up all the way down Telegraph Canyon Rd to my house at Nolan Way and L St. I pulled out my old 3 speed bicycle and rolled past the jam, so I didn't miss the show. Same on the way back. A similar approach worked from my home in Mira Mesa when the Miramar Air Show weekend activities jammed the roads.

I’ve seen several Teslas suffer from it, so that’s a negative for me.

How many times back to back? No cool down allowed.

Recharge times between runs?

Inadequate battery storage and motor power, after 3-4-5 top end runs.

If you’re buying that, someone else is cleaning the bugs off of it.

Nice looking car!

I always wonder why they don’t just produce the concept cars. At least sometimes. They usually look great and would turn heads if they ever made it on the road. Maybe something about ease of production?

How many runs at the strip do you make each day in your family car?
