I love Elon Musk. He's the billionaire I want to be when I grow up.

It seems that the batteries overheat when driven hard and it neither does sport or luxury to the level of others in its price range, but an interesting step forward. Beyond the autonomous stuff, the gearless near 700 HP AWD caught my interest.

I watched a documentary on Netflix about him at the start of Tesla and he likes to play close to the edge. He was making promises and taking peoples money before the car was finished and very nearly went bankrupt. It may well be different now the company has grown but i wouldn't trust anything I here when it comes to Tesla.

I've grown to really like these, especially as I see 20 or so a day. I still haven't had a decent look at their sports model yet, its always parked just beyond a decent distance to view and behind a locked gate.
