The gasoline muscle car is dead.

Try taking that Tesla on a cross-country trip and then we see which of the two is practical. The BMW i8, which is both gasoline and battery powered, is my choice.

I’d like to see that race done over a few times. The Dodge had a god-awful start—it was backing up and repositioning when the Tesla took off. Still, very impressive.

The ‘driver’ of that particular muscle car “can’t”..
Anyone that ever played with RC cars knows what awesome potential electric has for power. Practicality is another issue.

First off, it was a horrible start, or should I say, flase start. Second, when Tesla starts mass producing cars at prices most people can afford — without a government subsidy — then we can talk.

Use another car for long trips. Too much focus on range. Most days you don’t need more than 40 - 60 miles for the average commuter.

My diesel has a range of about 750 miles on a full “charge” and can be “recharged” in about 4 minutes at any one of about 30,000 “recharging stations” nationwide.
I couldn't care less about 0-60.At a steady 75mph it doesn't miss a beat.

Challenger driver tried to punch it at the line and just sat there smoking the tires. He also jumped too soon. Not a very good run.
To: Codeflier
So now you have to have two cars? Ridiculous.

The Tesla has a motor for each wheel. Put a Hemi on each wheel and see what the Dodge can do! That’s a CAR, baby!

Oh yeah, let’s see the Tesla do that with a 3 phase motor...

The Cuda stalled, then ran an 82 MPH quarter mile.
Would have like to see a real race, but 11.x seconds for a production car is real good, no matter the power source.
Are they running 1000 feet or 1320 feet tracks these days?
