Clearly, the pooch is attempting to explain the fine nuances of electric cars and the benefit of all that lovely torque available from the very bottom of the rev range, though the protestations (his paws in the air) is very definitely a reference to the electric car's unfortunate range and the problem of infrastructure. Clearly, this dog can do a road test.
