Impressive power, but also $$$$$$$$$$$ and still a big ass luxury sedan boat of a car though. Would be nice if Tesla were to make something similar to the FRS.... or a true sports car platform from the ground up (like the Roadster they used to produce.... but not based on a Lotus platform. A new platform from the ground up, meant to be a sports car.)

Did anyone read the part where the car can wake up in the morning, start(activate), drive itself out of the garage, and park at your front door while bringing the environmental controls online to cool/heat the car?

Then it can reverse the process and park itself in the garage....

Holy crap the technology in these cars is pretty cool

The camera reading speed limit signs and adjusting the smart cruise automatically? Auto changing lanes when you flick the indicator, after scanning the vicinity for other cars? Insane.

By my powers of deduction, I am guessing you own an RS7?
