Default Tesla Model S

How fast are those bloody things! I was accelerating moderately hard off a round-about up a hill and the rate of gain before zippiing right past me like I was parked was astonishing. I drive a 135i so it's no slouch but those things are fricking fast for a big luxo-barge!! Electric is the way forward!! Anyone come across one before?

See them pretty frequently on the freeway, here in Dallas. They even have showrooms inside the mall.

Very quick indeed!
