I drove a model 85 yesterday, very interesting experience. My shop neighbors are renting the space for toy storage, the dad and his son have a very eclectic collection of vehicles 1992 Bronco with 30k, Viper, old fire truck, Buick GS, etc. Today one of the son's friends stopped by with a Tesla demo model 85, and since we were talking cars they offered me a drive. It's really eerie how there's so little noise. The instant torque is awesome, though the car felt a bit soggy otherwise. The instrument cluster and center console were really cool tech, but would take a bit of practice to safely operate without taking your eyes off of the road to hunt and peck. Overall I was pretty impressed, it's a very different sort of car.

Side note, after hot rodding around town for a little while, they had to plug it in to get home.
