Needs an exhaust.

Surprisingly quick off-the-line due to immediate torque. Will give an inexperienced driver trouble from 0-80. After that, the Tesla driver will be shunned, and most likely to the closest charging station.

LOL

Fast off the line with a flat curve at zero rpm tq wise but its finished after 80mph IMHO. Ive raced several and if you are sleeping off the line or low mph they will pounce but they have no high end.

And as mentioned, zero sound so whats the fun in that? For me, I need exhaust to match the power, no acceleration whisperer wanted.

Great minds, didn't even see your post (posted within a minute of each other) and we said the same thing

Agreed with both! Was amazed with the instant torque and all the technology touch of the car . Poor ergonomics and seats.

You like to swap cars so it might be a good filler for a few months... a nice white one on the factory 21's???

Indeed, and that's even more eery I would think

I also had some fun with my R8 and a top of the line Tesla with distributor plates, he surprised me by even trying to give it a go and for that I gave him respect.

This is just the beginning , I can't imagine how fast and advanced those cars will be in a few years

from a dig, this was a well publicized vid a while back but I do believe the M5 is a manual and look at the rolling wheel spin:

Don't even think about rolling!!!! This S63tu engine smokes most of the monsters...If my memory helps me a while ago you posted the rolling between M5 and Panamera turbo (s)... M5 does the same thing with even GTR...

.... Electric motors have huge torque to help them get off the line fast , but not that much power to let them keep up at rolling... I believe the result of rolling between M5 and Tesla is like a joke

I'm not sure where, but I read somewhere at the time Tesla reaches 100 mph, M5 is somewhere close to 150...

Have you ever watched this video :
M5 does almost the same
