Doesn't the dodge ram have the same?  Advanced tech indeed! 

I laugh at Dodge all the time too!

Oh, you meant that Dodge Ram had the advanced capabilities of the Tesla air suspension?  Now let me laugh!!!! 

1.  At high speed, Tesla lowers car for stability and increased aero efficiency.   No one would confuse a Ram truck for stable or efficient.

2.  When approaching a GPS based location where suspension was previously raised, will automatically raise.  We use this every day, as our driveway has a steep entrance.   Dodge, don't make me laugh, they don't have this tech.

My Lexus does that too.

And the ram.

I was being serious.  I drove a dodge ram that lowered at is got on to the highway, for the same reason as the Tesla.

But does the Tesla have this awesome feature? :-)

No, but it does have a powerful heater.

    Didn't know any other car could automatically raise and lower suspension based on location (house, work, parking lot) like the Tesla...oh yeah, that's right, they don't.

The LX570 does.....And my LS does.  However, it's based on speeds and not locations.  Not that it matters....because surely you're driving less than 100km/h in a parking lot or your driveway anyways.

According to this drag strip ticket:

60 foot time of 1.6 seconds, makes it out of the drive way in a HURRY YO!  :-)

Actually, the 1/4 mile time is a bit poor considering the 60 foot and power of the car.  I used to do 1.6-1.7 60 foots and run 10.3s in the 1/4 mile.

Generally, for every .1 saved in the 60 foot, you improve your 1/4 by .2-.3

Anyways, based on the car's weight and the ET you can determine HP.  HP for that Tesla is 665HP!

Wow, I need that feature.  I drive 120-ish on my driveway all the time.

My driveway is only 54 feet.
