Tesla P85D acceleration

That's great. I like in the end where the lateral acceleration kept the little girl's phone (little girls have phones??!) from sliding straight down the seat back.
I also love how quiet the whole thing is during heavy acceleration.

It *should* be the quickest wheel-driven thing on the planet up to a certain speed. Electric motors integrate with traction control so perfectly that it should be able to keep the tires right on the fuzzy edge of breaking loose (without actually doing so) until it transitions to being horsepower-limited. And even *that* is a pretty high rate of speed, given that its rated at 691 ponies and is AWD. The fact that it weighs more than a Hellcat makes me smile a lot, though. Then I don't see anyone calling it a "fat pig" and I start to feel annoyed again...

I'm not missing the point at all, it was more in response to 440Magnum's post.

The fat pig was the Fisker!`5300 lbs!

+1. That's almost 1g or horizontal acceleration then. Impressive. I would like to see the same videos with a Porsche 918.

I would totally rock a P85D, that thing is faster than my Mustang and makes all the tree-huggers happy.

a well build electric car. The major manufactures put out crud!Quality would call Tesla quality as they are amazing!

I would absolutely drive one if I got it really cheap or free, although to be fair at probably about $15 for a 200 mile charge, it's actually cheaper to buy gas for my current DD. I pay that much for about 300 miles of range. Then again my car takes 10.5 seconds to get to 60.
Anyway back to the comment, if I had the money I would still much rather buy a GT-R. Faster 0-60. Higher top speed. Infinitely better suspension. Much more can be modified. And I'd still have $10,000 left over for the first several years of maintenance and gas compared to a P85D similarly equipped.
By no means am I saying the P85D is a bad car, just a bit too expensive still. Residential solar needs to become a thing as well as well as battery packs that double the power density or so before I'd actually buy an electric car. Love the idea, don't have the feels for the initial investment.
