My post wasn't to try and get into this numbers game - again....

I'm just trying to give a real world opinion on the car as a whole, from how it drives, to how it's built.

As was mentioned before, right now it's a niche car for a targeted audience. The car works. You have range and luxury and it's still also a test bed of sorts for the future - the direction in which we are hopefully headed.

Comparing the P85 to a tricked out Miata means nothing. The Tesla isn't designed for 1/4 mile runs, just so happens that a bi-product of the electric motor, is instant and full torque.

It's a new company, but is moving a god amount of cars.

You can either like the car or not. But it's a shame that a lot do "poo poo" the car, but have never personally driven one and some, never even have sat in one.
