I imagine Teslas perform well, I've seen a few on the autobahn, but battery life will be limited somewhat at very high speeds, which is why I imagine they limit the top speed of the Model S. Autopilot is all very well, but on two-lane autobahns, where the speed disparity between lanes can be very high (Lorries in one lane, overtaking in the other), one needs to be fairly vigilant.
- ccozan 9y agoI drive daily my german Autobahn. With no exception, I haven't seen a Tesla drive faster than 120 Km/H. Most of them trail behind a truck, probably to conserve energy - less wind resistance. I almost laugh when I see them crawling like that.

Most likely the car is on autopilot, and the driver opined to take his attention off the road and do something else. I see that occasionally with Teslas driving from LA to Vegas - a giant semitruck up front is something that you know radar won't screw up, plus it removes incentives for other guys to cut in front of you, as a spot behind a truck is rarely that desirable.
