Obviously, I had to activate launch control when the light changed but it lost me only a fraction of a second and this time I passed him entirely by the time I hit 3rd.
The takeaway: while the ZF is decent, it's no DCT and it's starting to get on my nerves.
Wrt/ the Tesla: the car looks about as pedestrian as any model 3 but holy $hit it's got some grunt from a dig (as expected being electric but surprising when you watch it happen).
Assertion: I'm not sure a non-tuned M5--Comp or otherwise--would catch it before 3-digit speeds.

Be careful that there are dual engine Tesla 3's out there - which it must have been to hold you off until 70 MPH. The regular Tesla 3's are 13.0 cars.

I am the same. I love the performance - but zero sensory affect and I am out. |
The Dual Motor is implied by it being a Performance model... right? It was a Performance spec car so I assumed the independent AWD setup. I can't imagine it holding its own in any other spec.
