Very impressive given that the sedan weighs nearly 2,000 lbs more!!

416 Horsepower, almost double my Honda Accord V6 I sold to buy TSLA stock about a year ago now!

It was pointed out by someone else in these forums that because the Roadster is quicker from 0-60 the Performance Model S must be "quicker from 50-90" than the Roadster, in order to have the same quarter mile time.

I'm still curious about the brakes. I mean, it's not a huge deal to upgrade them aftermarket if need be, but I'm pretty used to engine braking and strong physical brakes when driving spiritedly. The regen will handle the former, will I need to provide the latter?

Brembo brakes, no?

brakes are pretty awesome.
I had about 650 of passengers in the rear + me 175 and lucky young Copilot - 1buck50??
110 to ~5 was outstanding I think I could have been swerving through cones at the same time and still stop in 150 feet maybe 200

brembo yes(from all that I've heard)

The Model S I saw in the store in Ft. Lauderdale had vented discs all the way around. Most cars have vented fronts and solid rears. The vented rears were large too, so I think the breaks will be fine.

The brakes were sure and sharp! I went from about 55 mph to 0 in quick time (when I prematurely attempted to turn into the factory again on my way back). And, (this probably has to do with the low CoG and the suspension), loved the fact that there was practically no body dive when I did that 55-0 move!
