Although it did set him back $220,000, he said the price was comparable to a luxury Mercedes or BMW, and much more fun to drive.
He's done 14,000km in just four months.
Now, I have done laps around Taupo Motorsport Park in some pretty fast cars, but Sean's Tesla was something else.
The first thing you notice is there's no engine noise, not a peep, and when you get going all you hear is road noise.
The ride was incredibly comfortable with leather seats and all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a luxury car.
The car's software automatically updates and the battery recharges when you put on the brakes.
And there's only two gears - forward and reverse - it even drives itself, but you still have to keep a close eye on the road.
Did I mention it was fast?
"Zero to 100km/h in 2.8s" fast. And it can do about 400km on a full charge, which costs about $14, depending on your electricity provider.
