Can't find this video yet, but you reminded that there's an electric car (BMW ) with some amazing performance that was posted somewhere in off-topic section. That car was impressive for an electric car, but iirc it wasn't street legal.

And maybe I'll test drive a Tesla soon. I just won't be on the edge of my seat for it.
