Electric cars are still a few years away from being a "mass market" item.
They still need to beat the storage issue as well as the generation issue.
As for power, yup, but once ya add in the weight of the batteries you have lost everything you gained and then some.
I'm with Professor Brown.
The only use for lead in Electric cars is for shielding the fusion reactor.
As for a "claimed" 300 miles range for the Tesla S,.... phooey!
In tests it maxed at 187 miles for the 60kWh and 265 miles for the 85kWh batter packs.
Also, the recharge time is too long, at over an hour, for practical distance use.
If you only ever drive in urban/sub-urban areas and have $100,000 (plus options) then go for it.
The Tesla X may manage 300 miles but that's 2 years away at least.
I tried a slip on once, but my better half made me take it off and put it back in the dresser.
Muffler wise I have a 2 Brothers Titanium on mine and I like the tone and the popping on deceleration.
I feel that the OEM Battleship muffler is just as pig f*****g ugly as a Prius as well as sounding like one.
To be fair if I rode the long and lonesome roads of the USA I'd want a quieter muffler too.
But I don't. I ride the busy noisy roads of the UK and Europe and I WANT TO BE HEARD.
They never look, but at least the incompetent cellphone,... err sorry, car driving morons may hear me coming.
