Borrow Tesla - Accelerate with 1 gear
Besides the lack of sound, the acceleration of a Tesla also takes some getting used to. While you normally shift from gear one to six yourself - or with the automatic - there are no gear steps at all in electric cars. This means that the typical interruption in the shifting process is simply missing here and you accelerate as if pulled by a rubber rope. Of course, this makes the process all the faster, and so you can actually outrun any combustion car with a Tesla at the traffic lights.
Experience for yourself the fascinating feeling at the Tesla acceleration, if you rent a Tesla.
