My friend and fellow flier, Howard drove to the launch in his new car.
The top of the line Tesla P90D.
He set it to Ludicrous mode - yes it's a real thing, if you hold the button down extra long the very large dash display even shows stars coming at you quickly just like the scene in Space Balls.
And then let me take it for a drive.
A 762hp 4wd electric car is literally mind-bending. 1.1 G forward acceleration. 0-60 in 2.8 sec.
The first couple times I floored it, I had to take my foot off the accelerator and just wrap my head around what it feels like to get shoved back in the seat that hard.
Then I adapted and we found ourselves on a delightfully empty piece of highway...:dark:
The car also has the ability to drive itself autonomously.
