If you had driven a Tesla before, you'd wish every car would accelerate like that.
That linear power delivery is incredible and one cannot get enough. And that was from my buddy's 85 (non performance)... I can't imagine what a beast this would be.
does the car read the speed limit signs to adjust how fast it's going? or is it something else...

i don't see how electric cars can ever be light with today's tech because of the requisite number of batteries it has to carry...

The interior is made out of high quality materials and its incredibly roomy.
But the driving part is lackluster.
For all the HP and power and torque it is rated at, there is zero feel to it.
It's all bland.
In 50 years you can take a 20 year old who has only ever driven electric cars...
Put them in cars we drive today, like a 5.0 Mustang or like an original SiR b16a or whatever... they will shit bricks! The experience will be like going from a modern car back to a horse and buggy! People will not even know what to think then the motor is screaming and the entire car vibrates from the engine's natural vigor. Dare I say that the internal combustion engine is super masculine compared to the gentle feminine touch of an electric motor?

Did you floor it? When I drove my buddy's 85, given the single gear design, I needed to floor it to get that instant full torque. If you press on the gas pedal the way you drive normal cars, it's going to feel just like a shitty hybrid or econobox.
The major difference is that for gas/diesel-powered cars, you need to wait for the rev up in order to have that maximum torque; however the rev number might be for the engine and the time the engine requires to get there at full throttle. But for Tesla, there is no delay. You floor it, and you are at the maximum torque the instant you do that.
The use of lightweight materials is one way to help counteract the battery problem.
but that brings cost into question. with what is current now, manufactuers either go with cheap/flimsy materials on an econobox platform, or go with exotic stuff like carbon fibre or titanium and end up with a vehicle that approaches $100k or more
