I love this car — it moves super fast, makes me feel safe and wonderfully agile, like it’s got the power of a gasoline V8.

Great for city and recreational driving. Highway speeds and winter reveal its appetite for electricity — range drops quickly. The low beams could be brighter; the high beam is potent! Other than that, the car really pampers you.
