Clearly not trying hard enough ;D.  Did it have Ludicrous, not all do.

It was very strange just a large screen in the centre of the dash with YouTube Netflix & Disney logos etc, just start & go small speed  display on the top corner of the screen excellent reversing camera display when reverse is selected, I was impressed at the throttle response but that's about it.

It is essentially a fast appliance. Totally without soul.

Tesla Plaid is claimed to hit 60 MPH in 1.99 seconds which must hurt. :D

Did you drive it Mick?  or just a passenger?

I'd like to have a go in one, particularly in Ludicrous Mode! :)

No I didn't drive it , I was a front seat passenger it is the new company car of a friends son,  I like the acceleration but  a V8 burble is better , just my opinion.

That's exactly right it has no soul, it's simply an electric appliance.

I really don't know if it had Ludicrous mode, being honest I've never heard of it but I have never been pushed that far back in a car seat when accelerating.

A few months back, I was in my Smart taking my granddaughter home & a Tesla (no idea of the model .... Mundane/Vectra size) pulled along side me at the lights. The driver was obviously playing but I've never seen anything move as fast from a standing start - and in virtual silence! I caught him up at the next lights.  ;D

Using the oomph, the charge doesn't last long. Much like petrol  :D
