Yup, checked this specs on Tesla site & also their other models like Roadster, good to know a Electric car with zero emission can have top speeds of 170mph (Inizio RTX - World's Fastest Electric Car Vs. Tesla Roadster)
Hope there are more Green cars targeted at mid sized segment in India soon

i guess that is one way they can get the attention of he masses but would really love if they concentrated in the B/C segment where there is a real need for such tech

What about the sound? Since it has an electric motor .. there will be near zero sound. that maybe dangerousGotta love the 17" touchscreen! More i see this car, more excited iam

@bobby ,problem of sound can be fixed in no time........just a light sound making horn kind of thing will do the job......maybe they have thought of it already🙂

 

[Sushubh]

actually yes. a couple of car companies have actually added fake sounds to their electric cars.
