OK, you might only get excited about one of them, because the other one is this:

(Technically three new vehicles..)

400 miles on 30 minutes of charge.




New Roadster - 0-60 in 1.6seconds. Not much can keep up with that - even sportbikes. And a price tag to make your eyes water.

[Doctor Gollum]

The one on the right looks all white

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The first image has a certain demonic menace about it. I like it.

Zero to sixty in 1.6 seconds is roughly 2G.......and will probably hurt.

I'd give it a go

a 30 minute charge is going to need one HELL of a power supply!

Yes it`s all looking very `I Robot` and looks like it wants to kill humans 

Once they become driverless it could get very scary

No worse than a glider winch launch (without the 2000' per minute rate of climb element). *

The Superchargers are already capable of delivering 120kW per car - they've talked about a new Supercharger capable of 350kW per vehicle before and these will be recharged by a new 'Megacharger'.. I guess north of 350kW.

Going to need quite the infrastructure.

I'd give that a go, too, but with 150Kg of me in the cockpit I don't think there'd be the required 2000'/min rate of climb!

Just bob along the runway a bit

Just bob along the runway a bit 

Until it crashes into the winch rather like the Challenger at the end of Vanishing Point.

I don’t believe for a minute that you weigh 150 kilos.

Oh, I think the Chevy 502 in the winch would argue otherwise, but seat load is limited to 110 kg, unfortunately.

[aaronjb]

STEMO - 23 st 10 ½ lbs at my last visit to fat club; 332lbs is almost dead on 150kg. So you should believe it

Granted, that's down from 29 st 5 lbs (411lb or 186kg) on the 13th of Feb, but still a long way from the 110kg limit in a glider!

Maybe in another 9 months, if I'm really lucky, I could be down in that range Unlikely, but maybe.

It could become 'self aware'. Very scary.
