Holy *#!% - The benefits of Roadster size

[NigelM]

Gorgeous weather this morning, 75F sunny with slight wind, so took the top off and headed out from home. Less than 1/2 mile from the house, doing about 40mph, and a deer jumped out of the forest right in front of me; I braked sharply and slowed to about 25mph as the deer ran off and I breathed a sigh of relief, until....

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a large, brown, incoming mass to my left; just as I looked, another deer was coming at me full speed and jumped over my still moving Roadster. Didn't touch me, not a scratch. My guardian angel is watching over me today!

Roadsters are also handy for going under parking lot gate arms.

Wow. Glad you (and the Roadster) are okay!

Also useful at intersections when you realize you need to be two lanes over and the only thing between you and that lane is an 18-wheeler.... no, don't do this. But you know you've thought about it.

Hey, if the Griswold family truckster can do it....

I think that's perhaps taking the concept of aerodynamic drafting a leeetle too far...

If a C7 can do it, a Roadster can do it. Skip to 58 seconds.

Tesla should add this to their "Estimated Cost Savings" section
