I'm not saying easier to avoid speeding tickets in Tesla like getting away with it and speed.
But I mean like for those who had a lead foot, is a Tesla easier to keep at legal speed limit than a gas sports car? When I had the BMW M3, it was very tempting to speed in that thing when roads were clear. Just because that kind of car only seems to perform well when going at higher speed, and any lower speed it feels sluggish. And when you feel sluggish, you want to speed.
But for the Tesla Model 3, it seems I can still enjoy the acceleration but keep it at a legal speed limit once it reaches it. So I can still have my fun without speeding. It seems with gas cars, you can't simply accelerate and feel good, you like have to go to like 80-90 mph to feel satisfied if you have a super empty freeway.
I actually got pulled over when I picked up my Tesla Model 3. Mainly for accelerating too fast. But thankfully the cop didn't write me a ticket, he just gave me a warning, and let me off for something I thought I was gonna get a ticket for. I think it was because I slowed down once I reached the legal speed limit, I was simply testing out the acceleration. But still, I was ready to accept another speeding ticket because I knew I was playing around with the car.
But now, it's much easier to keep myself under control but still have fun with the car. I can choose autopilot when the roads are empty so I can set the speed limit rather than mindlessly go 85-95 mph without knowing. Which helped alot for toll roads because toll roads in So Cal are the most tempting places to speed and get a ticket, and cops know that, so they take advantage of that. So when I go on toll roads, I usually put autopilot on so I don't speed. And I passed cop cars trying to catch speeders, knowing that because I had autopilot on I may have prevented a speeding ticket.
Now I feel more confident that Tesla will be less tempting to wanna speed. At the same time, Tesla are still very fast and constantly accelerating here and there may be considered wreckless driving depending on the cop. And Tesla can still go fast, but I think because electric cars excel at acceleration, but not at top speed, it makes it easier to not go over the speed limit, because gas cars seem to do better when at their top speed, not lower speeds.
