    Well I definitely didn’t see that coming!

    Tesla is good at keeping secrets.

    Over 250mph top speed. World record times for a production car in 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile.

    2 motors in the rear, one in front. Torque vectoring. Room for 2 small people in the back, and luggage. Removable roof.

    And it looks incredible. Franz has created another stunningly beautiful vehicle.

    Elon was pretty excited about showing it off. Good to see him so happy.

    A 4-seater (2+2, but still) that does 0-60mph in 1.9s *and* a 620-mile range in a 200kW pack?

    Well, alrighty then!

    Just so exciting..... Sounds a little unrealistic but even if those numbers don't pan out, still super exciting.

    Better start saving....
