So this a serious question. I've been in a Tesla and the acceleration is amazing. I've heard reports that these things actually have over 500 hp. Why?
I get it, if you're building a car to compete with a Dodge Hellcat, but why does Mr & Mrs Havisham need so much power? Is there something about electric vehicles, that demands this sort of power production?
