Tesla S 85p
Hi guys,
just want to suggest that if ever you have the opportunity you should drive a Tesla S. I did it last week and came away really impressed. Actually I believe it is a gamechanger. And not because of all the 'green' implications but mainly for one very impressive fact: the response of the car to throttle input.
I knew before the drive that that aspect would be great of course but it is one thing knowing it and another thing living it. The response is mindblowing, making even excellent NA aspirated cars look and feel slow and sleepy!!
So forget Gt3 or even more so Turbo acceleration: they respond well only if you are in the right gear at the right rev level. This car instead has 600 Nm at ANY regime and speed, it' s just fantastic!!
My daily driver is a BmW X6 40d with 8 gears and 630 Nm, so i know torque, but compared to the tesla drivetrain it feels like an utter tractor!! And my Porsche turbo was better, but still you realize it's old tech rightaway...
I think this element I described will win many sports drivers over in the end, it certainly got me interested in the (kind od) car... even if sceptic, do yourself a favor and go try it out!!
