I love me some trains. Took the family by train through Europe one summer. You haven't really experienced what trains can be until you ride in the First Class TGV car. I think they're something like 60' long and you can hear a whisper in the back from the front. Really a wonderful system!
It would be great to ride from say, Chicago, to LA in a high speed train. Mpls/St.paul to Seattle would also be a great ride.
I was reading that Tesla did some crash testing in the regular insurance safety center and got the highest ratings possible. The article I read say they broke the roof collapse machine during the testing. They state there has never been a fatality in their Model S.
We took a Tesla P 90 D for a drive last year. The rep took us to a flat spot and told us to give her. 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds. Angela couldn't keep the camera straight. It is a game changer. One million dollar Ferraris and lambourghinis with two seats and 12 cylinders have a hard time keeping up with a 90 thousand dollar 5 passenger American sedan that needs next to no maintenance. Kinda cool.
