From a commentator:

The Tesla P85D with the complete 90kWh “ludicrous” upgrade costs about $100,000. The upgrade gives it a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.8 seconds. To put that into context, to get that sort of acceleration from a car previously required a Porsche 918 Spyder (0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds) or a Bugatti Veyron (2.6 seconds) or a Koenigsegg One (2.5 seconds). They cost $1.1 million, $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

You can save some money by buying a Lamborghini Huracan ($237,250) or the Ferrari 458 Italia ($239,340), but both are slower than the Tesla. That makes the McLaren 570s a relative bargain at $184,900, but it, too, is slower than the Tesla.

It still looks like a f*cking Toyota.

My God, what is wrong with these idiots?

Nothing. He has no desire to just sell toys. He wants to transform the car industry.

His idea was start with a high end sports car, sell enough to fund a high end sedan, then sell enough of those to make a car for the masses.

How long until a Lamborghini or Bughatti buys a power train from him and puts their own high end body design on it?

The idiots I was referring to were the people who would buy the souped up-Tesla. The guy who built it is anything but.

Yeah. The model S anyway (though it looks way cooler than any Toyota)

They could be forgiven for buying a similarly juiced up Roadster. In fact they said the next generation Roadster will be even faster.

What surprises me is how common, at least here in the Chicago 'burbs, Teslas have become. I see one on the road at least a couple of times a week, and I know three docs that own one.

I saw one every day in NY because my neighbor owns it. Beautiful car, not very Toyota like in my view.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

I don't think Tesla's are ugly cars, but they're not worth $100K
