Most people just want a reliable safe car, not a high-performance penis extension.

Or you could have both. According to all the testing agencies, modern teslas are among the safest most reliable cars.

And it’s not just the huge amounts of instant torque that can be a blast, but the noise, or lack of! The silence even under hard acceleration just makes it seem effortless. I also used to feel a thrill with the noise of a powerful gas engine but that feels like an awful lot of effort just to not accelerate well. I seriously feel Ike it’s similar to a stream engine train: “full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”
