I can't wait to see that thing shame hypercars and even megacars for a supercar price
I am not being facetious here - is all that available instantaneously? And how many times? I think "insane mode" currently requires a 10 minute battery "warm up" and also severely shrinks the range associated with that particular charge on a Model S.

I worked with some guys that had the Model S in my past - there's no doubt those cars were really fast. But it was kind of like being in an elevator. Do you get enjoyment out of a fast elevator ride? It is hard to tell that you've moved a great distance quickly because there's no real sound...or anything to be honest. It's just not as...theatric? Involving? Fun? At least to me anyway.

Mr. Musk has even described the automobile of the future as mobile washing machines...aka, appliances. No thank you - I won't be buying one, ever.
