Class in Session
================
Batteries Included!
Fully charged and ready for action! Today we take some big, hefty battery operated toys out for a spin, chiefly the Fisker Karma and Tesla Model S. They are quite heavy but there is some weight reduction allowed, mostly because that's the only way to increase Performance Points, don't let their girth put you off though because they are both surprisingly well balanced cars!

NOTES: The only real way I could find to increase the PP of these cars is to do the weight reduction, the Tesla takes 1 stage and the Fisker I think 2 stages but both will need to add few pounds back to reach the desired PP. While the Tesla on paper has more power and less weight the Fisker makes up for that with a much better torque curve and it appears to even them both out quite nicely :).
