Recently my wife started driving our Model Y, after not driving at all for over 10 years. One time she "accidentally" did over 200 km/h on the Autobahn because she didn't realise how fast she got.
Yeah there have definitely been times when I’m driving quite a bit faster than I think in my model y. But the scary part is my teen. The very first time I let him drive my Tesla, he drove faster than I ever have
But acceleration can be worse. The first time I found a “safe” stretch of road to try, the acceleration pushed me back in my seat so far that I no longer had a solid grip on the steering wheel. I really scared myself there, and among other things keep the seat tilted farther forward now
