OK, whippersnappers... Back in my day we had tools for hacking into cars as well: my favorite was the SlimJim.

In the EU in the 90-ties you just walked into any parking lot and tried VW-Golfs until the key fitted.. ..they only had 5 different models...

I always hear how lightning quick Teslas are but I have never once seen anybody drive theirs aggressively. They're always going down the road like old Buicks. If you've got it, flaunt it!

I think the problem is - if you put your foot down you need to stop 20 mins later at a supercharger to juice up for an hour
