[QUOTE="Balt21, post: 16565975, member: 165808"] I have not driven one and I am sure the instant torque would be a ton of fun and blow the doors of my 24 year old Cobra. Like I said, speed is just one piece of the puzzle for what makes a performance car enjoyable though. There are definitely people who's #1 priority is being the fastest guy around or just having a car that slams them into the seat whether they're racing anyone or not. For them, I'm sure the instant torque checks the box. Is the Tesla going to put a smile on my face when I turn it on and and it starts rumbling? How about the gratification of a perfect downshift when I'm out driving on the curvy back roads? Am I going to look back at it in a parking lot when I'm walking away because I like how it looks? The answer to all of these FOR ME is no. It doesn't rumble to life, there isn't a 3rd pedal, and the looks don't do it for me. For someone else, maybe they don't like hearing a cars exhaust, could care less about shifting on their own because a computer is faster, and think it looks great - all of that plus the instant torque spells a winner, which is great for them.
