Just test driven the new Tesla...
Discussion
Just been to the test drive event at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel.
I have to say a stunning and incredibly impressive bit of kit, so much so that I am now in the process of getting a lease deal on one sorted for delivery in October all things being equal.
The driving dynamics and performance were exceptionally good - the acceleration was incredibly impressive and mid range was supercar esqe.
It also seemed very well put together and thought out - overall a real winner IMO.

That lump of plastic across the roof inside .. bit ugly and cheap plastic .., rest cool 
Yes I noticed that as well, effectively splits the panoramic roof in half which was odd but didn't spoil the interior I don't think which I was as impressed with as I was the rest of the car. 
Elon Musk is pretty much a god amongst men.

He's progressing space travel at a rate far higher than anyone else, he's defining the next wave of the auto industry (and seemingly doing a good job) and seems to be an all round nice guy.
10/10 would bang.

He also goes by the name of Tony Stark, I think? https://twitter.com/elonmusk

Adore them. Would love to have the money to afford one, but alas well out of my price range. Definitely keen on something electric in the not too distant future.

Agreed. In a world of sheer corporate greed and an ever growing divide between the rich and poor, Elon Musk stands out as someone who really wants to effect change for the good of everyone. I find him fascinating. https://twitter.com/elonmusk

I had a sit in one while in the States last week - very nice. I don't really get why people (or journos at least) nitpick the interior, it looked fresh, modern and entirely unlike the dreary coal holes that have become the norm. Couldn't believe how large the front boot was either.
My cash awaits the 3 series size one.

Marvellous cars. I've yet to see anyone who's actually driven it come away with a significant criticism. I have no need for a barge, but if I did it'd be top of the list.
