I have made my living, raced, and had most of my fun from the internal combustion engine. One of my fellow car club members purchased a Tesla plaid. I could never afford one and have no plans to try to buy an electric vehicle, but he gave me a ride, and the performance takes your breath away. We went out to a road where we used to race as teenagers, and in approximately 1/8 mile we were up to 130 mph and then back to a stop, it stops as well as it accelerates. We have three members in the club that have Hell Cats, I have driven a couple of those, and I hate to say it but the Tesla is the fastest streetcar in the club. I have a procharged 410 in a 69 Cuda and I cannot hold a candle to it. My Cuda will break the tires loose by just rolling into the throttle, the Tesla does not spin a tire under full acceleration, it is weird. The other weird thing is the Tesla has what they call celebration mode, when you hit the button, music plays the gull wing doors flap and the lights all flash, really funny to watch.
