Damn, that shop picture has a F40 in the background, amazing.

Not just one, but looks like a total of 3!

Our guide said that the one in the white plastic tarp in the background had never even had its engine turned over. Was pushed everywhere around the dealership.

Went to the Tesla Giga Factory event last week and got to see these.

My above like definitely does not endorse EV's.  NA V8's or more cylinders for the win!  FWIW-

How far will you take one on?  We all know that the EV power transfer is near  instantaneous to the wheels but the duration is the question. PM sent-

Mine is just a dual motor, so it's not the performance version. I think mine only goes up to 150mph? Not sure, haven't had it there. 0-60 is rated at 4.8 seconds. I could purchase a software upgrade to make it to around 4.1 seconds.
and while I am going along 50-60 or so, I can jam on the accelerator and it'll shoot up there. 

but it's not a model S plaid. That thing was incredible. I was riding in the back seat in this video...watch the speedometer. This was not using the cheetah stance or plaid setting, which would have made it go even faster:

@lousubcap
let me take you for a ride and then let you drive it.

I was in Amelia Island, FL last month the same week as the Concours. I lost count of cars that cost over six figures. The valet parking lot at the resort I was at was worth millions.

That would have been a cool time to be there for sure.

Never heard or seen one of those. My favorite 3-Wheeler is the Morgan.

Not as nice as a Morgan.  Way nicer than a slingshot.  This one dressed out at 40k

These are made in Utah there are some spots around the tourist towns you can rent them. Electric too if I remember right.
