The Electric Car Tesla is impressive for its quickness in applying power to the road — and pushing its occupants back in their seats.
“This car goes from 0 to 1.02 G’s in less than a quarter of a second,” Rechtin says, “which is almost as fast as the human brain can react.”
That rush of speed happens silently, Rechtin added. He said, “The only other way that you can feel that, in a legal setting, is to basically jump out of an airplane.”
The impressive review generated intense interest in the electric car. Thursday, the Consumer Reports website crashed. Tesla’s stock leaped to an 8 percent gain, to a close of $242.99 on the Nasdaq market. That’s quite a bounce for a stock that, at the opening of Monday’s trading session, could be had (briefly) for $202.
