How far can you drive before you have to call a tow truck to come get you? We drove 101 miles out today, and 101 miles back home. I was sweating that battery charge, when we got home it had 8 percent charge left. This is with little A/C on a 68 degree cloudy day. On a sunny 93 degree day that A/C is going to cut that mileage, no doubt. So, best case you better not plan to go over 200 miles. Brother is disappointed in the cruising range as Tesla claims it will go 300 miles. However, so far, that is the only disappointment as this vehicle is fast, quiet and smooth. Very well designed controls and easy to drive. Very sporty car I would love to take it out on some twisty mountain roads. And how long does it take to come back to full charge on 240v on an almost empty charge state. I wired up a 4-wire 240v receptacle, just a clothes dryer receptacle that we bought at Lowes for $15. Bought 25 feet of 10-3 with ground plus a 240v breaker, and I wired it up in his carport. This will charge it up from nothing to full charge in 13 hours. This is what he charged it up with last night. The car comes with a big vaginal receptical, like Oprah.

I like that pic of your brother looking all badass leaning on his new Tesla. Clearly he is a discerning man well-versed in the finer things in life.
Is that his dating site photo? Clearly

Or Fred Flintstoning it. 😜

As noted above, if he's happy I am happy. Hell my Tundra and 70 Dart Singer have shorter ranges on a full tank of gas. That said, neither are going anywhere.

I’d love to see what electric race cars would be like. Drag racing, F1. Be kinda neat. Formula E........

Porsche? That’s a hell of a ride! Buddy just got a GT3RS. It’d be a good race with a 100kwh Tesla. The Roadsters, if they ever get released, are supposed sub 2 sec 0-60 cars. Under 9 in the 1/4. I love a gas burner but can surely appreciate the power of electric. Something about a torque curve that goes from 0 to max in an instant.......

Every so often on my drive to my gun club on a twisty mountain road, a Tesla will pass me on a solid double yellow, when I'm doing the speed limit. The acceleration is amazing, but the driver is a real azz hole. Some day it's gonna catch up with him and unfortunately most likely some innocent person will get killed too. One day on my bicycle I might get hit from behind by a Tesla I didn't hear coming. There's some irony in there somewhere. OTOH I ain't been taken out by a Prius yet so there's some hope. Stay off the highway on a bicycle and you won’t have to worry about that 🤷🏻♂️

Did you look at the link in my post above? 150+ in a quarter mile. The gas version one by a bit, but if I saw correctly, the E car driver pulled a wheelie and blew it somewhat.

The Tesla will be grocery getter not a full blown drag car, but that Stang was motivatin’! I’ve seen other vids of it running solo. Crazy to hear the noise as it launches. No roaring motor, just violence.
