I could get a ride in any of 500 different cars right now, and i'd probably feel almost exactly like that kid.

That acceleration in the Tesla is pretty freaking fun! They are a deceptive little car about speed, its so quiet you don't realize how fast you are going into a corner.

Those Teslas are FAST. Imagine your first gear that never ends. No shift, just GO.

"Did you just say Mommie!?"
Yep, that said it all. Steve, you should put in a volume alert. That little girl scared me when my speakers about blew up. |

I took my kids (11 and 7) for a ride when Tesla was here and there were very impressed. However, neither had a reaction like that kid.
They're used to riding with daddy.

Yea, they "rode with daddy" on the tail of the dragon. That Tesla is tame after that
