Talking about Tesla, I went to UTC and swung by the Tesla store to see the car in person. Overheard the sales girl pitching the car to a guy who asked how fast is it. She said, it’s 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Then he asked how much is it. She said it starts in the $60k. But she forgot to mentioned the $60k model can’t do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds :-D.
What’s even more funny is they have a simulator to see how the car perform in various condition. They advertise 300 miles range, but if you drive during the summer with AC your mileage drop to around 240 miles and in the winter, it drops even lower to 220 miles. They also stop the simulator at 65 MPH. They also say a 400 miles trip would take almost 8 hours instead of your normal 5-6 hours. That’s also assuming you’re driving on flat road instead up a mountain (like on the grapevine).
