.

But it also feels a bit, well, rubbish when you drive it hard. There's no sense of flow: you can feel the power being thrust between front and rear axles in rather fraught fashion and the whole car gets very hot and bothered if you make a serious attempt to rocket along a winding road.

Literally hot and bothered, in fact. After 10 minutes of hard driving, the formerly silent cabin of our P100D was dominated by the whirr and vibration of a substantial cooling system, struggling to keep the electric hardware from some sort of heat-induced panic attack.

Fast? Oh yes. Fun? Not exactly. The chassis really struggles to convert the P100D's immense output into a fluid cornering experience. Nor does the steering really engage the driver in any of its three modes - although that's not unusual in these days of electric assistance. No pun intended.

The Model S remains a deeply impressive machine in terms of its electric hardware, futuristic driving environment and completely outrageous straight-line speed. It's a unique car in the Kiwi market and it does put a smile on your face in so many ways. Just not necessarily when you head for the hills.

So we're recommending the Model S 60 for keen drivers, then? Absolutely not.
