Could just be the shaky video but it looks like it's handling those twisty roads real well--and with some get-up-n-go, too!
I have to agree - it's quite irresponsible to be driving that quickly on a public road with that many cyclists - especially when you aren't able to keep the car in the lane. Seemed like every corner both cars were over the double-yellow - and every other corner they were either passing cyclists in the same direction or coming across cyclists in the other direction.Yeah, Page Mill is not a road to be driving up fast on weekends - there will be lots of cyclists after 10am and there are a lot of limited visibility corners. The Model S will do better than most cars, being able to accelerate on the flats and regen brake for those blind corners. If you want to get up to Skyline fast, 84 is a better choice (most cyclists would take OLH instead.)
With a bit of pedaling one can get up to 45 without too much trouble. Of course, you have to do it in the opposite direction that the video went in.That hump at 3:40 is really fun on a bicycle when doing 40.

I'm actually going to be genuinely concerned for cyclists and pedestrians in general when I'd inevitably sneak up on them in my quiet Model S. The road noise from the tires may be audible but, probably not enough. I've had those quiet hybrids themselves sneak up on me in parking lots and such.
At a cyclist's pace the Model S won't be any quieter when cruising than a luxury ICE vehicle. Those manufacturers spend a ton of resources to try and isolate the engine from the occupants by making it quieter, less vibration, etc. If you're walking behind one of these vehicles in a parking lot you won't hear the engine running. Also, with the A/C on in my Roadster, the fans make more noise than an idling ICE.I'm actually going to be genuinely concerned for cyclists and pedestrians in general when I'd inevitably sneak up on them in my quiet Model S.
