Great run, smooth, Gardner seems pretty relaxed - made it look easy!

God. The siren.

[@kassenz]

Where you being chased by the police the entire time?? Did you hear the cop car too?

[@MrTeslaX]

must be the safety car

[@bryangreene4969]

Did the Regen pretty much quit on you after the 5th corner? I know mine doesn't really like multiple Regens in a short amount of time, plus I'm sure your close to full battery. Are you running the latest software update or is it custom?

[@dominikn.5940]

Anyone else see a similarity to Deadmau5. At first i honestly thought they interviewing Deadmau5

[@MurseTech64]

Siren is ridiculous. Distracting for the driver.

[@stupenduzzman]

"Full throttle". It's an EV mate, there is no throttle.

[@bryangreene4969]

Accelerator pedal controls the flow of electrons so technically it does have a throttle

[@jjgebarowski]

It's better
