Ah gotcha. Yea probably not. I just love having a 3.7 zero to sixty in a fully electric vehicle.

I don't know many people that own teslas, but I do know 1 person, my ex boss, and the first think he told me was how this car does 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds

He loves the performance.

And I also love the car too.

So the lowest selling brand of the three sold more than twice as many cars in its worst month in the 1st 1/4 of 2013 than Tesla did in all 3 combined. I don't know about the rest of you, but I wouldn't really call that Tesla 'beating' those other companies.

I don't get how it's misleading, they are clearly saying that its outselling models not the whole brand.

I contrast, I wonder how many cars where the big 3 Germans selling the first years they started to make cars from 1 single plant.

The Model S isn't quite that quick. Depending on the version, they are low 4s to high 5s.

Where does it clearly say that it is specific models?

I saw one yesterday in Walnut Creek. It looked really nice but the girl driving it was doing 15mph in a 45mph zone. Not sure if there was something wrong with the car or the driver but there was allot of upset people behind her.

Come to cars and coffee in great falls and you might get a ride in one.

The only thing better than seeing a civic get stomped is having it done by an electric car!!
