    Well may as well throw my Wheels magazine in the bin.

    This car just puts every ICE vehicle in the shade.

    I’m just waking up after last night’s Tesla Semi and next gen Roadster Event and it feels like a dream in a lot of ways.  If you would have told me yesterday that there would be an EV that met any of the following specs yesterday, I would have said “Vaporware!” Keep in mind these are base specs (!!) and the Founder’s Series car, which will take advantage of technologies gained in the 3 years before production, will somehow be better than:
    • Acceleration 0-60 mph: 1.9 sec
    • Acceleration 0-100 mph: 4.2 sec
    • Acceleration 1/4 mile: 8.8 sec
    • Top Speed: Over 250 mph
    • Wheel Torque: 10,000 Nm
    • Mile Range: 620 miles
    • Seating: 4+ trunk
    It’s over. It’s. Just. Over. I’ve said it before but there is no way to dispute it anymore. Electric vehicle engines are superior to internal combustion. Full stop.
