Makes no difference what you call it. Like I said stick to your clunkers and pay through the nose to own and use it. That's what they are designed to do and everyone who manufactures them knows it too.

An electric SUV beats a Lamborghini. Not bad for a cart Cheesy

LOL

The expensive clunker was having a lot of trouble keeping up and making lots of silly noises whilst the Tesla was as quiet as a mouse Cheesy

Also note that in any of these races the Teslas never have to smoke the tires to get any grip. It has grip in spades with 4 wheel traction Wink

Makes you realise how they have been pushing old rubbish polluting technology onto us for years under the guise of it's the only way to make a car Sad

I don't think the one in the video is the top of the range Tesla -

the top one can beat a V8 super car.

I can't afford to buy any new car at all.

most of the people who preach you should have an electric car don't have one themselves...

the only people I see around town who do have one are people with a lot of money and who are "virtue" singling ...

that was a number of years back...

now I can't remember the last time I saw an electric car around town..

and why do they have to be so ugly?

its like... hey lets make an electric car and lets see how ugly we can make it.. ffs Roll Eyes
