Had a Tesla hot on my tail today, I was in fairly full flow, but approaching a controlled area, so had to ease back. I was impressed.

They can do 0-60 in 3.1 seconds in "insane" mode. Look it up.

Here's one I was looking at the other week:

You were in your C7? If so, wow!

Model S?

A guy I know is waiting for delivery of one, although it is not the full balls out version.

That one (LHD ) was the full monty, bought over from Holland by Knutsford Tesla. Also had a vanilla RHD one there which was plenty fast enough!

I've driven the P85D in insane mode - I testify, it's insane.

Yes I was in the C7, didn't pass me, could not tell in the RV mirror.

Cheers

It's similar to C7 money and very well specced as standard. Some realy nice design touches too like the hidden charging flap that auotmically opens when you get close with the cable and the retractable door handles.
Great benefits for the business user too, and no congestion charge (or road tax?).

And free charging on their supercharger network. Tempting!

Mike, as a business user the relief is amazing. The tech is amazing and the recent 'anti panic charge mode' introduced last month via over the air update is good. Rapid charger install is free at home via rebate scheme - it's a great car. I spec'd it to £93K before I was happy :/

Insane mode 'launch reactions'...

Yeah mine came to about £94k, same as an RS6.

However, after watching this video of a Tesla dragging against a Lambo it reminds me there is still an unavoidable draw back



It is missing that lovely engine / exhaust noise!!

Wasn't there a gent on this forum that got pissed off waiting for a C7 who bit the bullet on a tesla?

Gdavison

I believe he's also involved in Formula E, so I think other forces other than delay were at work!
