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.

@art_of_shred No substitute for the noise and feel, agreed.
Very excellent substitute for the pants wetting quantities of torque, acceleration, and general mayhem that only big blocks are known for.

Haha... I would love to get a track car at some point in the future... although I would probably get a track bike instead... a lot less overhead.
Nope nope nope! I am rather attached to my limbs and their proper functioning thanks

True, but can you imagine Mad Max in a electric? Wow, that's just lame.

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.

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.
