P90D S is not the car of an enthusiast. It has 'insane' straightline acceleration which is cool for drag races, yet completely different than what a car enthusiast is looking for which is a good driving experience

The M5 and M6 are not that far behind. Tesla wasn't necessarily trying to reduce weight like BMW will do with the new M. I think BMW can make it work if they forgo some of the luxury/safety features that come on the Model S.

Completely agree with this, but I was talking about the motor. Tesla has already proven you can make a lightning fast environmentally friendly sedan, now BMW just needs to slap that technology onto a better chassis and suspension.

You realize the top end Model S goes 0-60 in 2.8 seconds right? |
Who cares about 0-60. What can it do on the autobahn? That's where it's slow.
