My friend called and asked me if I wanted to test a lithium battery. Then he showed up with this

....and wouldn't leave until I drove it hard.
I'm blown away. It's been 30 years since I felt like this under acceleration...and never this fast. An absolute rocket. I never knew they had all this potential.
He's coming back next week so we can go pick up my old man and let him drive it.

Nice car, you will definitely need to keep us updated on your next run with it.

It is the Performance Package model and I went to 70mph from a stand still. Definitely blew my hair back.
I've done no research on these vehicles because I like gas powered (2-door) hot rods and honestly just wrote it off as something I don't think I care about. In 4 seconds, I changed my mind. Not to mention the weight distribution, handling / steering feel around corners, AWD, HUD, comfort, ....even the sound system. I'm amazed.
edit: didn't even touch the brake pedal. The car is setup in his profile to brake when the accelerator isn't depressed. What a trip....

Sounds really nice actually.
Now if there was a truck that can haul 3 horses 400 miles without a charge I would be in.

I called my dad and told him something similar. "I wish it were a truck" lol

Wait til you 'drive' it with a tablet - that'll really flip your lid!

I drove one once, and I'm not sure if it was the acceleration or just the fact that it feels numb in your hands, but it gave me the worst case of what felt like vertigo I've ever experienced. I know this is the future, but not hearing an engine rev up and the feeling in your body as it does, just can't be replaced when I'm driving. Maybe I'm a good candidate for autonomous transport, cause I'm hard pressed to ever want to drive an all electric car. I'm not taking anything away from how ridiculously quick it was. Like being in a sling shot is the only thing i could compare it to.

Maybe that's why he suggested we keep the stereo on. It was Tom Petty. lol

I raced one 3 times with my highly modified gt500. I couldn’t beat it! They are fast.

 

[Porschetech🇬🇪]

My infraction is faster

Tesla is a hold out for deans.

[BashingBrian]

They are working on it.

Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister has one!

Was it a P100D with Ludicrous mode?

Don't know model, but he brought it to Counts Kustoms for customizing.

The Atlis XT with the 500 mile battery option sounds like the one you are looking for. (we know it wont go full 500 miles)

I am sure Tesla won't be outdone in their own market segment. Anxious to see what they come up with. No one has done towing with electric cars in the way that a truck owner would. It will be interesting to see how they hold up (heat issues, mileage ratings etc)
