A couple days ago, @S4xton drove me around the block in a Tesla that he had. This was my first experience in a fully electric street vehicle and it just so happened to be a Tesla. How will I ever be satisfied when I finally decide to get a Nissan Leaf? Hehehe.
Anyway, the torque was nice. I was a little weird-ed out by the silent acceleration that this vehicle is capable of. While I may be used to feeling the type of power and acceleration that this car offer (it's been a while since I've been planted back in my seat while someone drove me around the block) it was sort of scary not hearing the roar of 400 horsepower blowing out of an 80mm exhaust pipe. I guess I was concerned the other cars wouldn't hear us coming.
It was a great ride and I enjoyed it. Even considering the majority of the time we were sitting in bumper to bumper traffic in the hot sun.
Here is a little video that I took. It's not much, but it's what I got.
A few other friends also got to ride in the Tesla.
fun!
