Yeah. My 2015 Mustang GT has 435Hp and makes it in 4.4 sec. Let’s just say I don’t have to negotiate at the on-ramp.

Is this with the a/c on or the heater?

That’s on I-5 north of LA on DEC 25!.

I used to drive that route. One time in that area it took 2 hours to get gas and a hamburger on a holiday weekend ...

“The Tesla Model 3 is aiming for that: introductory base price of $36k”

I'm going with “it won't happen” short of 8-10k of tax payer subsidies. Even then it will be years in the making.

Equivalent of 33mpg at California electric prices and gas prices. Not bad...but needs 400 mile+ range and a starting price of $30k or less to be really popular. (w/o subsidies).

“Here is a map of Tesla supercharger stations where Tesla drivers can ‘fill-up’ in about an hour for FREE!”

Nothing is free. You sound like a liberal claiming healthcare is now “free!”

“...315 miles...”

In the summer with the ac on, in the winter with the heater on? BFD!

“TWO point five seconds.”

It’d better have some serious traction control because once it comes unstuck...
