The Z's future

This thread made me thoroughly research the Tesla. Wow, its an amazing car. The electric engine really does make sense. Its so damn simple!!! The Teslas engine is the size of a watermelon. If the battery didnt weigh so damn much it would be uber light, not that 2700lbs is shabby. The battery weighs like over 900lbs, woah. 288ft-lbs whenever you want it, at your disposal. I will be sad to see the gasoline engine come to an end but wow the possibilities of electric are exciting. If the Tesla, more or less the first of its kind performs like this, just imagine what its gonna be like when the technology is really developed. Your gonna have like 500ft-lbs on tap and be goin 0-60 in like a second. Totally weird it has no trans either. One gear all the way up to 14,000 rpm. Not even a gear to switch into reverse, you just press a button to reverse the polarity of the engine or something like that. I dont remember who previously said this in this thread but change is scary. I dont know if I wanna live in a world without a manual gearbox

its half the fun...
