If you ever get a chance to go for a test ride in a Teslamotors Roadster electric sports car, it blows the doors off a Ferrrari and Lamborghini 0 to 60 in 3.7 sec.with the high powered engine.

It blew my mind at how fast it covered ground !! within a few seconds the dealer was standing on the brake peddle to quickly bring the roadster down from the blinding speed before we ran out of pavement !!
