Wow. Not one single comment about the actual performance? I'm thinking driver error had a lot do with the spin out more than anything. That said, the Tesla Model S is painfully quick in the 0-60. It is (or was) technically the quickest to 0-60, at 2.2 seconds, in the world. If that was a Model S in the video.
A 4.9 billion subsidy Elon Musk doesn't want as compared to the 36.5 billion subsidy the oil industry gets to line their pockets with and still rape us at the pump.
Sure.

In 2015 in every major Canadian city the cost of fuel as handed down by the manufacturers was 70.7 cents/litre this cost covers manufacturing, shipping, advertising, environmental responsibility,research and development, profit for the distributor etc.
The federal govt charges 10c/litre. There's a carbon tax of 6.67c/litre in carbon tax (to subsidize the prophet of virtue signalling). A transit tax of 17c/litre. And a provincial tax of 8.5 c/litre. That's an additional 42 cents/litre which including the reasonable price of the product is further taxed by the Feds with 5% gst.
An average citizen paying 50 cents/litre in tax, with money that was taxed when they earned it. But you feel like the oil company is "raping" you?
Stick to feelings, I'll stick to facts.
Not to mention a lot of oil the US imports comes from Saudi Arabia, one of the most fundamentalist Muslim countries with implemented religious law, gender inequality, disregard for human rights… sure, the wheels of the economy have to spin, but isn't there a better way? People always bring up "the economy" and "jobs" when talking about environmentally friendly matters. But they don't realize that taking care of the environment would actually create a fuckton of jobs that can't be outsourced. But that would mean raising taxes which so many people (especially republicans) fear like a boogeyman.
