I also took a new Audi E-tron, not sure which one, cause he was behind me the entire time too, that one was from a roll at about 40mph. They are fast, but give me the sound of a 32v V-8 any day.

Three 5.0 Mustangs lined up against the Y. First one spun and held for another solo pass. Second one I barely got but I think he was either asleep or spun. Third one broke at the line. I'm guessing all were trying to get a hard launch due to the known Tesla launch.

Any monkey can launch this thing. Just hold on and hit throttle...not real driving.

I bought it for highway use. I spend less money on the Tesla payment than my F250 12mpg chug per gallon. With the supercharger network now, there isn't a real reason to have range anxiety. All the Buckee's are getting superchargers and who doesn't spend at least 20 min in a Buckee's.

Yes it was weird not having a roar going down the strip.

They are cool cars and the immediate TQ and AWD off the line is very impressive. My 5.0 isn't stock and I can drive better than my S.I.L., so there's that. And the Audi gave me the hit, but I was already in my 2nd gear sweet spot.
I will say the Audi and MACH-E have better suited interiors for me. I haven't seen or been in a MB-E in person yet but, I'm sure they are very nice too and probably better than the other two I have been in.

I will probably get an electric car at some point but the batteries need to get better, I/we don't do as much driving as we used too, my wife is 14 miles from work but only goes in 3 days out of the week and now that her Dad passed away, no more 100+ miles roundtrip to see him. I'm retired and only drive to see the Mavs in Dallas maybe 10 games a season. SO not much driving anymore at the current time.
