Well yes in a way but I was to busy trying to breath as the performance sends the blood rushing around your head in a dizzying fashion! I work with electric vehicles every day however the Tesla is really a new breed and if you get a chance to get in one do it! It makes what we call in the industry (The Luke Skywalker landspeeder noise) so it isn't completely silent but it is so quiet it seems even faster than it is (if that makes sense). You mostly here the tyres scrabbling for grip, small stones being thrown up and then you just zoom off.
 
All a bit of fun! However if it was my money I would by a 328 GTS or even a Mondial. New Evora is a good car as well. Bet we see an electric version of that from Lotus once Tesla quits making the sports car next year and switches to the saloon.....

Welcome back,

Not much new I think...  Did you have to make your own vroom vroom noises while driving the Tesla?

Hey guys
 
You may or not have noticed but after 10 years on the List I stopped receiving emails. Kept trying to fix the problem but finally after 8 weeks it seems I am resubscribed. Anyway, god knows what I missed but I am back finally so looking forward to reading the posts again...
 
Not much to report but had a great drive in a Tesla during the course of my work which was quite impressive. The X1/9 is almost to Ferrari Concours standards and will show at Auto Italia first weekend of June at Stamford hall here in the UK. The exchange rates are making the import of a 512tr LHD quite a problem right now but still looking around.
 
I'm glad to be back!
