I have no idea what the future holds for automobiles. Electric may or may not be the way to go, but it seems as if the technology isn’t there yet for widespread implementation. Infrastructure is nowhere near where it needs to be for charging hundreds of millions of cars. That can all come in time. We’ll see where it leads.
With that said, I drove my first electric car (Tesla) two weekends ago. The car drove great and had a ton of features. However, the BIG thing I loved was the power from a dead stop. When I punched it the immediate power buried me back into the seat, and, quite honestly, made me a tad dizzy the first time! I wasn’t expecting that kind of acceleration.
Last summer I went for a ride in my customer’s Tesla Model S Plaid. My buddy punched it and when I looked over a few seconds later we were doing 135 MPH.
The only thing I could compare it to was the Rock and Roller coaster at MGM Disney World. It takes off in a straight level line and goes into a darkened building. It hits 75 mph in a couple seconds.
