Does it really matter when 80% of these will be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on 280 near Sand Hill Road?

- octorian 7y ago> Does it really matter when 80% of these will be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic The acceleration needed to get press coverage? Absolutely not. The other qualities of a good EV? Absolutely yes. Having driven a Tesla Model S for several years now, I have to say that it has the best low-speed handling of any car I've ever driven. You can control it's motion very precisely in the 0-5mph range (far better than any ICE I've ever driven), and "autopilot" can do most of the "bumper-to-bumper start-and-stop" grunt work for you. Of course none of this makes for a loud press release, so it rarely gets mentioned.
- brokenmachine 7y ago"This car has reached the pinnacle of 0-5mph handling". You're right, not quite so sexy for the ads, lol. I agree, those things do make a difference. I drive a manual (stick) car with pretty rough low-speed handling. It is a bit unpleasant to drive in bad traffic.
