My Renault Megane E-Tech has “only” 220hp and that already gives quite a kick.
Not sure about model 3, but all others are much stronger than that - as far as I know.
Combine that with a large and heavy car (Y and X series) and many people will underestimate how much kinetic energy it has.
I’m not really a car guy, so maybe I got some series or data wrong, but I think the train of thought still stands.
Yeah, that was my thinking too, bang for buck they’re cheap for the performance. The only time I’ve been in a Tesla was the back of an Uber and the driver was only too happy to show me 0-70 in a built up city area (late at night when the roads were clear)
They are also quite heavily powered.

No street vehicle should be allowed to do 0-60 in 3 seconds.
Not only should we be putting governors on vehicles, we need to limit hood height, limit acceleration, and use gps to limit speeding.
