#1 I'll say this - those Teslas are hard to keep up with on a highway. I was doing my quarterly Cape Cod payroll thing a few months ago (I'm in a 2002 Camry) and right after we get off the Sagamore Bridge going north on Route 3 my normal move is to grab whichever lane's open, shoot past the traffic and hit 75-80 because the next ten miles is open road until you start hitting all the Plymouth exits. One of these Teslas blasts past me and dropped me, so I slowly go after him, figuring the state trooper's going to nail him first. He got blocked (two lane road), so I caught up to him. This went on for the next 30 miles and he eventually turns off in Hanover. I never bothered to look it up but I'm certain his car weighs a lot less than mine (3800 lbs).

#2 Probably about the same 3800 pounds as yours - those batteries are heavy.

#3 He gave money to Elon Musk, I'm sure he's carrying around a bit of karma.
