That sounds like an ideal storm chasing vehicle for me.

When it reaches 60mph in 1.1 seconds, unless you are an astronaut or fighter jet pilot, you have already passed out from the G forces as the Roadster continues to accelerate to 250mph which is achieved a few seconds later.


Naw, your brain bucket is pretty good at handling acceleration in a seated eyeballs in accaleration, like good for 9Gs give or take. 0-60 in 1 second is less than 3G and something I have felt many times in a drag car and never had any vision or cognition issues.

1.1 sec 0-60 is beginning to beggar belief on street tires and not on a prepped track even with the EV advantage of lower tire shock.

Hopefully the car doesn't drop like when the window broke. One thing Elon has proven is he isn't scared to have a failure in front of people

Is that typically what roadsters are for?

The truck will.

Just what the general public needs


Small minds can’t comprehend the day when human drivers are eliminated from the interstates and you replace high speed rail with 250MPH Roadster taxis going from any city to any city without building Billion dollar per mile mass transit track.

I think when all cars are autonomous and can communicate with each other you will have 100 plus mph travel on the interstates. Years away of course.
