Amen to that. I drove a friend's Model S to lunch a few years ago. We were side by side with a Mustang GT looking ahead at three open lanes on the highway, when a C6 Corvette miraculously appeared from the onramp to the right. The look on my friend's face answered the question I was afraid to ask. The eerie silence during acceleration was followed by a bit of wind noise, which provided the only audible clue to our rate of travel. I backed off the right pedal knowing the C6 on the right would eventually overtake us as we entered triple digit speeds. Lunch was under $20, but the ensuing visit to Tesla.com was nearly 6 figures. On delivery, we noticed the trim strip at the bottom of the driver's window was misaligned by about 2mm, which they fixed at the showroom. The minor complaints regarding fit and finish pale in comparison to the superiority of the drivetrain and driver experience.
