They're the only electric car I might consider at the moment; if I had the money!

0-60 in 3.2 secs. Pretty nippy!

Do they still follow you around in case your battery goes flat? Nice service.

They would need a Tesla to keep up with you

Deeply disappointing video. I was expecting their tits to pop out from the acceleration, or something.

Anyway, here is an interesting one. Aventador vs Tesla. Tesla has the legs on it up to around 60ish mph.

That looked strange, almost as if someone just hit fast forward on the scenery!

Corrected that for you.

Got to be less than that - the lambos 0-60 is quicker. Didn't look that north of 50 ish tbh. Still take the lambo anyday.

Edit - looks to be 85 kph? When the lambo surges into the lead. As soon as its in third its gone, and would keep on going.

It is an impressive feat though, instant torque goes a long way.

That's quite impressive considering the tesla is a 4 door saloon full of heavy batteries

I saw one at the ikea charging point a couple of weeks ago , nice in the flesh too

Haha, very fair point!

Even in the P85 I drove the low speed acceleration was weird, like the scenery was being dragged towards you. I guess a result of the power delivery and no engine noise that you would normally expect with a quick car. I bet this one feels ridiculous with the 4wd and extra few hundred BHP.

Looked to me like the washing machine driver jumped it at the start and the Lambo is only then losing out through the gear changes,

Yep, gear changes definitely seemed to keep the Tesla ahead for a bit

Five door, seven seater hatchback.

Quite ridiculous! Due to the design (no need for exhausts etc) the 2 extra seats are fine for medium sized kids as well!

I can live with that as the tesla would be replacing my daily driver, not my weekend toy

There is a tesla shop at Westfields in London so had a sit in it, looks very nice with the biggest screen I've seen in a car!
