The 691 horsepower Tesla Model S P85D super sedans are now arriving in owners hands, and we finally have a chance to compare it to other supercars on the road. We’ve already seen the Dual Motor Drive Model S decimate a Ferrari in a drag race, and now the first owner of a Tesla Model S P85D has told BusinessInsider just why he founds his electric supercar “fascinating.”

Kevin Babineau, a contractor from Southern California, was the first to take delivery of his fully-loaded Tesla Model S P85D (at a price around $130,000) after placing an order at a store run by his friend. Babineau is no stranger to faster cars or Tesla, already owning (among many other vehicles) a Roadster (which he didn’t trade in), a Ferrari, and a 1969 big-block Chevy Impala with more torque than you can shake a stick at. The man knows speed…but he’s never experienced anything like the Dual Motor Drive Model S, telling BusinessInsider;

The speed, first of all, it’s so fast — you’re not used to experiencing that kind of speed. The first thing you do is smile and start laughing. The gentleman that was with me that came to pick it up with me, we were just laughing! The emotions that come out of that kind of speed, in that short a distance, your body’s not used to it. And it’s pulling so many G’s, it’s exciting — it’s roller coaster stuff. It’s fascinating, absolutely fascinating. And it does this to everyone I’ve had in the car, everyone just starts smiling or laughing. It’s pretty cool.
