I expressed my opinion, and conceded that the Tesla is very fast given the instantaneous torque produced by electric motors. I also then provided my opinion about factors that add to enjoyment of cars that is divorced from a cars ability to accelerate fast from 0-100, which factors are missing in the Tesla.

Rather than insulting, engage and respond to the following:

1. Does the Tesla produce an engaging engine sound in terms of induction/exhaust?

2. Do people find an engaging engine sound in terms of induction/exhaust as providing an enjoyable experience when driving?

3. Does the Tesla have a manual gearbox/clutch?

4. Do people find using a manual gearbox/clutch coupled with an engaging engine as providing an enjoyable experience when driving?

But no doubt you will simply respond with another insult while cloaking yourself in "Emperors Clothes".
Zilo- these electric cars are great, no issue there, but for me they are just missing that fun factor. Other people may love that instant quiet thrust - that's what makes the world go round we all have different likes/dislikes.

Anyway-again peace be with you.

Porsche 911 Turbo S would be one of them that comes to mine...

911 Turbo S - 2.9secs - 10.6s 1/4

Plus others...

Audi R8 V10 Plus - 10.6sec 1/4
Nissan GTR R35 - 10.87sec 1/4
Ferrari 458 Italia 10.9secs 1/4

Remember there is a difference between quickest and fastest as well.

Quickest 0-100 times
Fastest - Top Speed

But no doubt you will simply respond with another blah blah.
1. Not necessary to be considered fast in a 0-100km/h thread
2. Not necessary to be considered fast in a 0-100km/h thread
3. You seriously don't know?
4. Not necessary to be considered fast in a 0-100km/h thread

What else would you like help with?

I suggest you test drive a P85D or a P90D to be enlightened.

The Tesla is the fastest Sedan in Australia, not car... as Nismo GTRs, Lambos and 911 turbos and etc can beat the 3.2sec to 100 and the destroy it after the fact of reaching the 100km/h mark.
Interesting video. Massive MPH difference between the two. That Hellcat is a weapon.

It doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better alive, take it easy you are full of life!

Nothing gets to you, staying fresh staying cool, take it easy you are full of life!

Cause a day is a day, it doesn't mean its OK, there is always trouble in your life!

Heavy clouds in the skies, tears are filling your eyes!

ITS EASY WHEN YOU'RE FULL OF LIFE!

FRESH GOES BETTER!



Some of you dudes need to take a Mentos and chill out.

As usual, a reasonably sensible question turned into a slanging match............
