Thanks for the interesting article Tom. In addition to quarter mile time, the torque produced by electric motors does provide a pretty fun kick-in-the-pants acceleration on the street. I mean, I’m not buying one anytime soon, but for those who haven’t tried it yet, give a Tesla a drive if you have the opportunity. Interesting experience, especially the eerie silence as you blast forward. The throttle response is fun (but without the roar/vibration of an IC engine, it does kind of feel like just a Six Flags ride).
