A score of 103 out of 100 could be called kind of... Insane. This is exactly what the Tesla Model S P85D in 'Insane' mode received during testing by Consumer Reports (CR), a score so off-the-charts good that it actually broke the scale and forced CR to revise how they measure things. The official score with the new, updated methodology will be 100/100.
What made the Tesla break the ratings was the combination of supercar performance and extreme energy efficiency. These things haven't historically been found together, and so CR never had a car that go such high scores in both columns.
Impressive, but alas...traffic.

Where someone dubbed the audio with a gas engine sound on a Tesla.

Oh wow! Is that a Red Bull X2010 [wikipedia.org] in one of the clips or just some random F1 car? Hilarious!

That's a potentially fun part about EVs: you could mod them so sound like tie fighters when they move or to play the music from the keystone cops
