0-60 in 4 seconds. Say goodbye to the good 'ol days...

The 0 - 60 time is impressive but I wonder what the rolling time is.
Say 50mph to 80mph. How about the passing acceleration?
You only go 0-60mph once then you have to pass cars on the road.

If my memories of electric remote control cars holds true - low speed acceleration would be incredible but acceleration at speed would be less dramatic.
It mentions a 2 speed transmission maybe they have figured out a way to get the torque in the powerband at speed.

Does the WSJ article mention anything about how it drives on the highway?

the range of the batteries is not enough yet for most people to fully replace their gas vehicles. their going to have to bring it up to at least 350. and how long does it take to charge? What happens if you loose charge on the side of the road?
