This is the kind of news I like to hear.
From what I've observed, it seems like everyone at Tesla got driving tips from the Lotus guys, who are known for exhibiting their own "flair" on the test track -- sideways is their favorite direction.
I wonder if I'll need to back off the "gas" for a moment when shifting, or does the computer handle all that?
