The model you should be quoting is the P100DL - That's the fastest Tesla right now until the new Roadster comes out.

I have a friend in Florida who found a 2013 Model S for $27,000 - Has 110,000 miles.
I also have a bunch of friends buying up Fiat 500e's, They just recently came off leases and they've been selling like hotcakes. For around $9000
The 500e is a very quick and fun car with 85 to 100 miles of range.
Here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Fiat-...ash=item3f8d5f0a1a:g:6KwAAOSws6ZaGc5Y&vxp=mtr
I like square bodies. they suck the tank dry mechanicallyWhaaaa.... smallblocks and 6 and 4 cylinders won't work?Electronically controlled gas pumps will be down anyway so those big blocks will be outta' luck.
yeah and so am I. some got to see the buffalo. some the P51.
I got to see (and drive) the *real* LS6.
Probably . They have come a long way with the electric cars for sure .

Actually the list of fastest cars i saw last year was with the p90d .The p100 would be faster im sure.There were 5 cars faster,all supercars ,all very pricey.Top end is limited though.Curious to see what top end would be without the elect throttle applied.I certianly wouldnt kick a hellcat or vette out of my driveway for rumbling ,lol.Me ,personally id rather have a boss mustang if i had to chose a gas muscle car but thats just brand preference nothing against dodge or chev.

A few, probably, but not as many as you might think. Yes, there are lots of idiots with more money than brains, and no driver training, so some will be wrecked, but the majority will be in the hands of collectors. I own one of the original (first 1000) HellCats and looked into a Demon--more hype than real car. Weight savings are achieved by deleting creature comforts (like a back seat and passenger seat as the most prominent), and the HP increase requires an optional ECU chipset that requires fuel beyond what you can buy at the pump--so I'll stick with my HellCat.
Totally do-able, and it wouldn't surprise me to see a pickup or SUV down the pike soon--after all, Tesla has just introduced and taking orders for its semi-tractor rig--so a high capacity truck is not out of the question by any means.

We are entering a new age of automobiles, for sure. I was intrigued by this new hybrid Porsche Panamera, reviewed here by Matt Farah. Obscenely expensive, but the "trickle-down" theory will likely happen in a couple of years.
Not sure if the Stanley had them, but with locomotives the "fix" to get around too much heat was to use the water injector to top up the boiler. Cold water in would suck down the pressure. Otherwise it just hits the relief valve. Not really a problem but it wastes water. Also you can just shut off the fire, much easier to do on a Stanley since its a gasoline burner than it would be using coal or wood.
The big danger is letting the water level get too low. If the top of the firebox isn't wet, it can melt through. Once that happens, the pressure in the boiler comes off and all of the water in there flashes to steam. Steam expansion is something like 1500x the volume of water.

Hellcat takes a full charge in less than 2 minutes .
I love the Hellcat, don't get me wrong, but you can only recharge it with the help of a multi billion dollar company refining crude oil into gasoline for you to recharge it with.
Electricity on the other hand, you can create in your own back yard.
Your kidding , right ?
'cept this is 'murrica and we practice NiMBY. meaning, we will create that electricity in YOUR back yard.
