    0-60 in 1.1 seconds...

    and we're off!!

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the upcoming Roadster model can accelerate like a "hardcore roller coaster" and warned those with medical conditions from driving it to its full abilities. The $200,000 car is scheduled to go on sale in 2022.

    I am still looking at what to buy next. Let a buddy drive us to lunch today and grinned every time he tried to feather the gas pedel. 450hp just wants to run......
    Karen and I are thinking 2 doors and about 1500 pounds lighter this time...............

      You mean the roadster he promised first in 2019, then 2020, now we are looking at a '22 MY? The same roadster that still has not been seen on the road, much less actually done a 1.1 0-60?

      It is pretty though. But it's going to be heavy and garbage in the corners.

        Health screening.. LOL.. I've been in a couple of Tesla's & it's instant power, but there is nothing like a big CAM loping at at stop light and the exhaust note they make...

          But is has thrusters to help with the twisty's...I'll believe it when I see the actual track runs. Pretty bold claims.

            I doubt it. Lithium packs are pretty light, much lighter than a conventional engine, transmission, differentials, etc.

            It’s really weird how the electric put power to the ground too. All that torque and they rarely spin a tire. That’s why the launch so fast.

              I've driven a model s dual motor with 3 other grown men in the car. We all just started laughing when I floored the accelerator it was so stupid fast. Reminded me of the slot cars we used to have as kids.

                  Nice looking car, but I don’t think there is a car I would like to own. The only thing I see myself owning are trucks. If I can’t haul dead critters and dogs in it, get it off road, I have no need for it.

                    You’re missing out. Fast cars are fun.
