Certainly wasn't expecting to see anything about Tesla on here, but I am certainly not complaining. This past Sat. I had the great opportunity to drive one of the 85 Kwh models. The word is unbelievable. I took turns that had a speed limit of 45, doing 72 mph. This car has over 400 ft lbs of torque at 0 rpms all the way to 16,000 rpms. There is no transmission, so there is absolutely no pause in the acceleration. The sensation is akin to that push in the seat feeling you get in an airplane just as it starts it's rollout down the runway. Motor Trend drag raced a BMW M5 against a Model S to 100 mph, and the M5 lost. The car weights 4800 lbs.

Not to start a political debate, but the one and only reason we as a country give two sh!*s about the middle east, is oil. We have thousands of military that either didn't come back, or came back missing limbs, over oil. The Tesla is 100% electric and all of our electricity derived from our own resources. Ok, I am off my soap box.

I just wish Tesla had a store here in CT, because I would be interested in applying for a position as well.

Good luck to you Edgemar
