Electric is fine as long as you are not expecting track style driving for extended periods of time. I guess you could take one to a drag strip, but going fast in a straight line is only fun a few times in a row.

It is a goofy camparison. My car gets about 245 miles to a tank in normal cruising, BUT.... I only get 4 miles to the tank on the track. GET THIS: 4 miles to the tank on the drag strip. I average about 17.5 mpg cruising, about 10 mpg in town, and .25 mpg on the drag strip. So ALL of this comparing anything to different conditions is by no means a comparison to make for the true performance of the vehicle.
Your missing the quota though.. You can refill your tank at the drag strip in 2 min.
You would have to charge the tesla for 16 hours!
That is a HUGE performance comparison...

Not really.
The High Power Wall Connector is the fastest way to charge the Roadster and great for installation in a garage or outdoor parking area. Completely recharge – from empty to full – in less than 4 hours. This is the most “intelligent” connector making it ideal for long-term storage. Any certified electrician can install this unit.
