Default YouTube Video: S8 Still Faster Than Tesla Model S!

I just love his reaction when he nails it in the S8! I still get that same reaction no matter how many times I get on it!

Have driven both and encourage everyone to do so. S8 is a far better in every respect, IMO, but the braking on throttle lift on the Tesla S is unlike that of any transmission I know of. The Tesla's low center of gravity and currently RWD only, delivers satisfying cornering. Its electronics are impressive, but its interior falls far short of a $100,000+ car. Styling is naturally quite subjective, but to me looks like it derives its cues from more than a few makers' entries.

If the interior of the Model S is the only low point of the car I think that's encouraging considering it's the very first vehicle Tesla has built from the ground up. GM has been building automobiles for over 100 years and only recently have been able to build a decent quality interior.
