Crunchy Pacific Northwest virtue signallers<\/a> all drive Teslas. Every one of them. Without exception. How do I know? Because we recently rented a Tesla in order to flip off any gas guzzler we deemed unworthy of common civility. Don\u2019t misconstrue the fact that the cost of renting a Tesla is nowadays equivalent to any infernal combustion engine (ICE) equipped car out there. Or that the recharging cost per mile is half that of gasoline. Being a cheapskate has nothing to do with virtue. Virtue is an end in itself.<\/p>\n

However, should you choose to follow our lead and flip off, sorry, virtue signal, a burly guy wearing a confederate flagged baseball cap driving a diesel belching monster truck with a fully loaded gun rack, do it with a Tesla capable of \u2018Ludicrous Mode<\/a>\u2019. That electric honey accelerates from 0 \u2013 60 in under three seconds and does it with a beautifully linear torque curve. And those three seconds of neck-snapping oomph is about all the time you\u2019ll have to outrun the hail of bullets headed your way. (Sounds a little judge-y, bordering on sanctimonious \u2013 just saying \u2013 ed.) <\/em><\/p>\n
