respectable stats then. The technology is certainly improving in leaps and bounds. When the battery tech improves a bit more for better range and less weight it will be a real game changer.
Got taken for a spin in a new tesla and that has an impressive turn of speed when you bury the welly up it. Spooky having no noise though. But like I said to the new owner the kind of money it cost him I think I would rather have an older v8 corvette and spend the change on a lifetimes worth of fuel. Just don't find electric vehicles very emotive , and a large chunk of the attraction to any particular vehicle is the way it sounds or makes you feel I think.
