    Oh dear. Shame on me for wanting a car that can corner fast as well as go fast in a straight line. Which is not to say the Tesla won't, electric cars have a significant weight distribution advantage there, but American cars are not exactly the last word in good handling.
    Drag performance is not my top priority to such an extent that I switched to a much lower powered car because it drives better.

    Try not to think of it as a US car. It's nothing like any US car I'd ever driven before.

    The handling is very good considering it's size and weight. I prefered it to an m5, but I've not taken a model S ludicrous speed to a track yet, I mean you won't get many laps in and my friend who has one said no.

    Seeing as the first Tesla was based on the Lotus Elise, I think they're pretty keen on good handling...
