A funny thing happened on the way back from the Big Easy!

Yeah, and the whole "call the cops" thing is ridiculous IMO. That call would be such a low priority that if they did "F" with you the damage is done and over and they are long gone way before the Po Po gets there. I can just hear it: 911 dispatcher to cops "some rich guy in a Jaguar is being followed too closely by a local truck and feeling threatened" "Any available units to please assess"....radio silence...for a long time. Just floor it and lose the losers.

Indeed. And those marvelous accelerations in the Tesla draw a lot of amps/watts, substantially reducing range - and there's no such thing as a rapid roadside recharge. That green-approved solar charger won't quite do the job....it takes a smoke belching power plant to keep it running fast and clean.

Yeah, this is one of the biggest flaws with the Teslas right now IMO. Very difficult to use for a lot of road trips. Was driving one recently and used their map function to plan out a few hypothetical trips. Many of them were 2x or 3x the duration in order to stay charged and hit the superchargers. :-/

A similar thing happened to my wife about a year ago. Driving to work at 0dark30 on a rural road a car pulled up behind her and rode less than a car length behind. She slowed down so it could pass, only got closer. She then got frightened and sped up... at about 70 the f***** turned on the blue lights. SOB trooper smirked the whole time he wrote the ticket. Makes me understand how people can thoroughly distrust cops.
