One of the things I likes about Porsche is that the cars can be used as every day drivers (most of them).
The new Tesla Roadster is another beast wrt performance potential. In my wildest dreams Tesla will use the fact that the car is controlled by software to provide a user adjustable driving experience. Similar to the modes on our MS and MX (chill to ludicrous). In addition I vote for a limit on top speed to accomodate tires with a lower speed rating. For me 250 km/h is plenty fast.
Want to do more? Give me a teenager mode: power limited to 60 kWh, top speed to 150 km/h. Or even better a slider. Something like Valet mode, just more flexible. As it stands I am not letting my teenagers who just got their driver's license on the wheel of any of our Teslas. Time to get a Leaf?
With this hardware you could program the car to emulate the acceleration and top speed of any other car on the road. Are you nostalgic? Put it in VW beetle mode (the one with 44 HP, RWD). Make sure the right sound come from the sound system. Or you go to the App store and get yourself a corvette simulation. You get the idea.
