I have been reading up recently about the electrical cars, and in particular the one formed by a former South Africa, Elon Musk. It is a pity that Pretoria Boys High cannot really claim him as one of their proud past pupils – he has revealed to the media how, no doubt because he was too clever, he was terribly bullied at the school and assaulted and it is a disgrace that some schools don’t look into the culture of bullying within their schools. In any event, back to the topic, and that is that I had no idea as to how fast some of these electrical cars actually can take off – to the extent that the model S has a more expensive version with what they call an insanity mode. When you go into the insanity mode, the car can get to basically 100 km/h in 3 seconds and takes off faster than all Ferraris! The fastest Ferrari will pass it after a 100 metres or so, but the Tesla is so fast that it will pull away quicker than them. Alongside this blog is a clip from YouTube showing the reaction of people when the model S takes off – and just remember, although this is an American car, the founder and CEO of the company is a South African!

Pretty cool that a South African is the CEO! I agree with Sinead though the BMW definitely looks better!! This concept could never work in SA though, we would all not be able to come to work due to loadshedding and unable to charge our cars.

The Tesla looks awesome but I saw the BMW i8 and fell in love with it immediately. In terms of electrical cars lol... I wonder if the idea will work here though.

South Africa doesn't nurture talent or skill. Every one has to leave to be able to reach their potential. I wonder how long this car can drive before it needs to be charged and what the charging station requires? If I drive from Jhb to Dbn, how will I charge my car in Dbn? And will it make it the whole distance?

Very beautiful car,I agree with Marisa how do you charge an electrical car in this country knowing we always have no electricity?

i would love to take that car for a spin, but one problem, how will we get it charged with all the loadshedding?

not only does it go, but it certainly is a looker too. I saw photos of the interior, and it is stunning while looking quite futuristic. Would love to take a spin in one.
