Model S - What's the Performance Like?

Drives like a pussycat, except when it behaves like a leopard.

 

Had the same question once from a hoon in a loud commodore next to me. Told him I would answer the question at the next corner. The last I saw of him was a speck in my rear view mirror, so I guess he worked out the answer.

 

After numbers of "challenges" my standard response to hoons is that Model S is the only legal dragster you can buy!

 

I told a guy that it goes 0-100 in 5 seconds (my 70D). He dropped his jaw in amazement. Then I told him that the quickest one will do 0-100 in 3 seconds. He was still trying to fathom 5 seconds. He said "5, 5, 5 seconds?".

 

I always say that it is like driving in a sublime limousine until I hit the go pedal and then it is a fire breathing monster.

I like yours better!

 

I haven't found any abandoned runways where I can try it out yet!

 

Good metaphor. Nailed it.
