Tesla 1.5 test drive
The Tesla Roadster is simple to drive, but very fast, with smoothly delivered torque.
Every automotive journalist who drives a Tesla comes away impressedwith the car's power, and I can say the same after taking the car outon a quick drive near the company's Menlo Park, Calif., Tesla store(they don't call it a showroom or dealership).In Performance mode, the car exhibits powerful and smoothtorque, even at speed. I had this little open top roadster at 65 mph onthe freeway, then mashed the accelerator (don't call it a gas pedal)and got another powerful push in the back that sent the car quickly upto 90. The Tesla's push is unique among sports cars though. Where ahigh-stepper such as the BMW M3makes you feel a kick in the back with every gear shift, the Tesladelivers a strong, steady push when you put your foot down on thepedal.
