This is cute, but there's no substitute for cubic inches. Period.
You can only say that not having been in a Tesla. No engine on the market makes you launch like those electric engines.
I've seen the stats on the electric motorcycle that Honda (I think) made... dangerous doesn't even begin to cover it.
Even with all kinds of governors the Tesla car is crazy dangerous. So easy to lose control when you have that kind of power.

I would love to drive one... even to test but don't see that happening anytime soon.

Like, Arnold, for example.

True, but can you imagine Mad Max in a electric? Wow, that's just lame.
Solar panels and batteries in the desert would make a hell of a lot more sense than random oil rigs / refineries

I got to ride in one at Pertino and let me tell you, your eyes going blurry from G forces is pretty awesome.

And everything would be so much faster. And you could sneak up on people better.

Jealous. I've had the blurry eyed experience in an old Mustang... but from everything I've read the Roadsters are crazy.

I'd have to put playing cards in the wheels.

I'm tired of being teased - when can I buy my own self-driving car?????????????????????

Seriously. Or, what I really want, is when can everyone else get a self driving car!!

Car accidents will drop. In fact the other day I was thinking about how sometime in the not-too-distant future, people who drive themselves will be considered reckless, like driving with a cellphone or bottle of whisky in your hand, as they'll cause most accidents.

This is probably true... I would still prefer to drive myself but I feel the cost of insurance on a vehicle of the manual nature will be extraordinary.

I like the idea of driving myself but it is worth giving that up to stop everyone else from driving themselves. But, as much as I like driving, getting to read a book, post to ML and drink wine while traveling in my car are worth a LOT to me.

I spend about an hour in the car each day... if I could turn that time into something resembling productive (even playing a video game) I would give up driving.

I think most video games will be tough just because of the unavoidable car motion.

I was thinking 3DS or something similar... even an emulator on the phone is very nice to have on long trips.

Hmmm, I get car sick when reading a book in the car... not when playing games.
